President Donald Trump himself seized on this point in a tweet on Saturday evening: “Dem Memo: FBI did not disclose who the clients were – the Clinton Campaign and the DNC. Wow!” Dem Memo: FBI did not disclose who the clients were - the Clinton Campaign and the DNC. Mr Trump had no such concerns about an earlier classified memo written by Republicans, which he declassified in full on February 2 over strong objections from the FBI. The memo says that the Justice Department didn’t include any “salacious allegations” about Mr Trump contained in the compilation of memos drafted by Mr Steele, now known as the Trump-Russia “dossier”. Mr Trump has said the GOP memo “vindicates” him in the ongoing Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
