House Intelligence Committee Ranking Democrat Adam Schiff addressed reporters on Monday night, announcing that they have voted to release a new memo that will supposedly rebuke the controversial memo Republicans released last week.

Earlier tonight, the committee cast a unanimous vote to send their memo to the White House with a request to be publicly disclosed in the next few days. Congressional Democrats insist that this memo will offer context and information which will contradict the findings from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) about alleged FBI malpractice and FISA abuses against President Trump‘s team.

As Schiff addressed the media, he said that his fellow committee members felt compelled to release their counter-memo in order to address all of the commotion caused by the “many distortions and inaccuracies” from Nunes’ documents. The White House has five days to stop the memo’s release or ask for redactions.
