Fox News: Trump Will Not Declassify Dem FISA Memo, Contains ‘Especially Sensitive Passages’

‘The Department of Justice has identified portions of the Feb. 5th memorandum’ that can’t be declassified

RUSH EXCERPT:

MacCALLUM: "All right. We are back. A lot of breaking news this evening out of the White House. And with regard to the memo where we opened this story tonight because we thought this memo was going to be declassified any minute and that we were going to get a look at it. But it looks like there is a bit of a holdup this evening and just moments ago we received a letter from White House counsel Don McGahn that was released. I will jump down to the third paragraph of this letter. Which gets into this issue. It says consistent with the review of previous memorandum, meaning the G.O.P. One, the president asked the office of director of national intelligence and the Department of Justice to assess the declassification process and request rather and provide him recommendations. The department has identified portions of the February 5th memorandum. The disclosure of which is T. Believes would create specially significant concerns for the national security and law enforcement interests. The enclosed letter from the deputy attorney general and the department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation explain these determines in greater details. Although the president is inclined to declassify this February 5 memo, because it contains numerous properly classified and insensitive passages he is unable to do so at this time."
