FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly told the White House he does not support the controversial GOP memo’s release because it contains “inaccurate information and paints a false narrative,” according to Bloomberg.

President Trump was overheard Tuesday night telling a Republican lawmaker that he is “100 percent” behind the memo’s release after his State of the Union address.
