White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a statement Friday about President Trump's decision to declassify the much anticipated memo that details specific FISA violations at the FBI. It was compiled by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes.

In her statement, Huckabee Sanders notes that Trump did not make the decision to declassify on his own.

Having read the memo, Trump told the press that there are a lot of people who should "be ashamed of themselves."

The document reveals that the FBI used the infamous Fusion GPS dossier to obtain a FISA warrant against members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.
