WASHINGTON Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), responsible for the much-hyped but ultimately underwhelming GOP memo alleging FBI bias against President Donald Trump , on Monday continued to defend the memo on Trump-friendly Fox News .

But he may want to get his basic facts straight.

Trump authorized House Republicans to release the memo on Friday, as part of a broader effort to discredit special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into possible collusion between Trumps presidential campaign and Russian officials. Nunes was widely maligned for basing the memo on cherry-picked evidence, and the documents contents mostly confirmed previous reporting about the investigation, rather than revealing any new bombshells.
