WASHINGTON — House Republicans released a disputed memo on Friday that accused the F.B.I. and Justice Department of abusing their surveillance powers to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.
Compiled by Republican congressional aides, the memo has set off a political firestorm. Its claims are incendiary, suggesting a broad conspiracy against President Trump. But the memo fell short of providing evidence that would cast doubt on the origins of the Russia investigation and possibly undermine the inquiry.
