Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
The Republicans who wrote the partisan memo hadn’t seen the classified information it’s allegedly based on, and Republicans on the Committee voted against allowing the committee to see the information.

The top Democrat on the House intelligence committee says only two people on the panel have read the classified information that formed the basis for a controversial Republican memo that may soon be released to the public.
According to a transcript released Wednesday, California Rep. Adam Schiff said at a Monday committee meeting that only he and GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina had read the underlying information that informed a classified GOP memo. The panel has voted to publicly release the memo, part of a GOP effort to prove improper use of surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Russia investigation.
Schiff said in the meeting that Republicans had previously voted down a motion to make that underlying information available to all members of the committee.

Also, Trump hadn’t seen the memo when he said he was keen to see it’s release.
Quote:
A White House spokeswoman says she is not aware that President Donald Trump has seen a classified memo on the Russia investigation that he favors releasing.
Trump was overheard Tuesday night telling a Republican lawmaker he is "100 percent" in favor of releasing the memo. He spoke on the House floor after his first State of the Union address.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on CNN Wednesday morning that she was not aware Trump had seen the memo, adding that he had not "prior to and immediately after" the address.
Sanders said a legal and national security review into the memo continues.
