Trump approves release of memo

President Donald Trump approved the release of a classified Republican memo that alleges anti-Trump bias at the FBI and Justice Department.

He said he was sending the document back to a congressional committee that may make it public, Fox News reported.

The four-page memo has been declassified and its release was expected later on Friday, Fox reported, citing unidentified sources.

Earlier the president accused top officials of politicising FBI and justice department investigations to damage his Republican party.

Controversy over the memo, which was written by Republican congressional staffers, has raged for days - Democrats say it is aimed at derailing investigations into Mr Trump.
