A memo from Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, written in response to a document from Chairman Devin Nunes which alleged misconduct from the FBI and Dept. of Justice over the FISA warrant system, has been released.
The key claim: "FBI and DOJ officials did not 'abuse' the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process, omit material information, or subvert this vital tool to spy on the Trump campaign."
Read it for yourself:
The second day of the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump will see a full day of opening arguments from Democratic House impeachment managers.
What to watch for: Democrats now have 24 hours — spread out over three days — to take their time to lay out their case against the president's alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It'll also allow them to highlight gaps that could be filled out by additional witnesses and documents from the administration.
This post will be updated with new developments as the trial continues.
