Donald Trump Jr. Demands the Release of a Secret Memo That Could End Russia Probe

He hasn't seen the memo, but is convinced the allegedly "alarming" information needs to be released.

The secret four-page memo describing abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) within the DOJ and the FBI is alleged to contain information that could halt Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 presidential campaign.


Donald Trump Jr. joined the rallying chorus of Republicans demanding for its release to the public.

"I don't know what's in it, but if all of these guys are saying people's heads are going to roll, people may get fired and people may actually go to jail, I think the American people deserve to know," Trump Jr. told Tucker Carlson on Friday about the "troubling" memo.

Trump Jr. tore into the DNC saying Democrats and the mainstream media are not interested in the contents of the memo because they are feigning ignorance to the truth.

They both went so all-in with this contrived Russia thing ... that they needed it to be true. Now it turns out to all be nonsense, and it turns out it was [the DNC] and the prior administration doing some pretty shady stuff, I mean, that is earth-shattering, that is disgusting, and the American people should be really upset about it.

He took to Twitter and predicted that "Democrats will take an even stronger stance on shutting down the govt so that becomes the narrative rather than talking about the release of the apparently very damaging memo."




According to CNBC, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. said that the information in the top-secret memo was "jaw-dropping and demand full transparency."

The response inside Congress and on social media sparked the #releasethememo initiative while Republican Congress members were shocked at the information they've found.

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., demanded full transparency was in order. "I am shocked to read exactly what has taken place. I would think that it would never happen in a country that loves democracy and freedom," he said on Thursday.


The Huffington Post pointed out, however, that the damning report on FISA was penned by Republicans in the House Intelligence Committee. The Post explained:



That committee voted along partisan lines this week to allow any member of Congress to take a peek at the document themselves. Republican members soon flocked to a secure room to read the memo written by their allies — and then ran to tell the press about it."

Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, however, dismissed the report as "a profoundly misleading set of talking points" and "rife with factual inaccuracies."

Although Trump Jr. has not taken a peek at the document, he ardently believes that the "alarming" information still needs to be released.

"I don't know what's in it, but if all of these guys are saying people's heads are going to roll, people may get fired and people may actually go to jail, I think the American people deserve to know," he told Carlson.

But Twitter is tuning him out.



American journalist Glenn Greenwald, known for his work published by The Guardian, also weighed in.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
