   WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and the probe into contacts between his campaign and Russia (all times local): 
   
   6:15 p.m. 
   
   The House intelligence committee has voted to release a Democratic rebuttal to a GOP memo on the Russia investigation. 
   
   The panel vote was unanimous to make the classified Democratic document public. It now goes to President Donald Trump for a five-day review, and he will decide whether to allow its release — as he did with the Republican document last week. 
   
   The Democratic document aims to counter the Republican document, which accused the FBI and Justice Department of abusing their authority in monitoring a onetime Trump campaign associate. 
   
   A White House spokesman says Trump will "consider" the Democratic memo's release the same way he considered the Republican document.

   Rep. Adam Schiff says a Twitter attack from President Donald Trump amounts to "false smears." 
   
   Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence panel, responded to Trump on Twitter Monday after the president called him one of the "biggest liars and leakers in Washington." 
   
   Says Schiff: "Mr. President, I see you've had a busy morning of 'Executive Time.' Instead of tweeting false smears, the American people would appreciate it if you turned off the TV and helped solve the funding crisis, protected Dreamers or...really anything else." 
   
   The California Democrat has slammed the release of a congressional memo that alleges FBI surveillance abuses in an investigation into the Trump campaign's Russia ties. 
   
   Trump has said the GOP memo "vindicates" him. But Democratic and Republican lawmakers say that assertion is wrong.

   President Donald Trump is lashing out at the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, saying he "must be stopped." 
   
   Trump says on Twitter Monday: "Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!" 
   
   Schiff has slammed the release of a congressional memo that alleges FBI surveillance abuses in an investigation into the Trump campaign's Russia ties. The California Democrat said on ABC Sunday that it was a "political hit job."

   Some lawmakers doubt President Donald Trump's claim that a Republican-produced classified memo on FBI surveillance powers clears him in the Russia investigation. 
   
   And that's both Democrats and Republicans who feel that way. 
   
   They also expressed hope that special counsel Robert Mueller's work would continue without interference. Democrats could seek a vote on publicly releasing their rebuttal memo when the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee meets late Monday afternoon. 
   
   The committee rejected that move last week. The Senate's Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, urged Trump to back the public release and said refusing to do so would show the president's intent to undermine the Russia investigation. ||||| The Democratic memo is expected to remain secret while the president reviews it, but its lead author, Rep.

   The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously Monday in favor of publicly releasing a classified memo that Democrats say undermines allegations by President Donald Trump and his allies that the FBI abused its spying powers while investigating his campaign. 
   
   Trump has five days to review the request to release the memo, which was written by committee Democrats.

   Democrats have clamored to release their memo since last week, when Republicans decided to make public their own classified document over the objections of the FBI. 
   
   Republicans’ memo, spearheaded by committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), claimed the FBI relied on a disputed dossier compiled by a former British spy to convince a court in October 2016 to grant a surveillance warrant for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. They said FBI agents improperly failed to disclose that the spy, Christopher Steele, had been financed by the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee for the research. 
   
   But Democrats have said — and some Republicans have acknowledged — that the FBI did mention a potential political bias in its application, though it didn't specify Clinton or the DNC.

   Democrats say Trump’s allies are trying to discredit the FBI to harm special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and whether any of the president’s associates were involved. 
   
   The Democratic memo is expected to remain secret while Trump reviews it, but its lead author, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), has said it will provide a point-by-point rebuttal to the Republican version. Trump could attempt to block it from being made public; the White House said Monday it would “entertain” the request to release it. 
   
   Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee said they endorsed the release of the Democratic memo in a nod to transparency, but one lawmaker, Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.) said the Schiff memo will only further "muddy the water" surrounding the Russia investigation. He called the claims in the Democratic memo inaccurate "for a million different reasons." 
   
   "But I am all for letting the people see it and decide for themselves," he added. 
   
   Rooney said he hoped Trump would support the release of the memo as he did for Republicans' and that he didn't see much that would need to be redacted. 
   
   Schiff told reporters that Democrats had already provided copies of their memo to the FBI and Justice Department for review, a step he noted Republicans refused to take. He said he wants to ensure that any redactions to the memo are made by professional at those agencise rather than by the White House "for political purposes." 
   
   Schiff also complained that Nunes declined, once again, to reveal whether the White House had any role in developing the GOP memo. He said Nunes denied the administration had a role in "drafting" the document but repeatedly declined to answer questions about other possible influence by the White House. 
   
   Nunes spokesman Jack Langer rejected the idea that the White House had any influence over the memo. 
   
   “The idea that the White House had any input whatsoever in the conception or writing of the memo is a totally false claim perpetuated by the Democrats and, as usual, dutifully reported by Politico,” he said in a statement. 
   
   In a transcript of a committee meeting last week, Nunes was asked by Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) whether the White House had any role in the GOP memo and he said "as far as I know, no." He declined to answer further questions when pressed by Quigley. 
   
  
target: – President Trump has one more big decision to make in regard to "the memo." The House intelligence panel on Monday voted unanimously to make public the Democratic rebuttal to the GOP's memo on the Russia investigation. As with the original memo, the president now has five days to review it and decide whether to allow its release, reports the AP. Will he do so? A tweet Trump sent earlier on Monday about the lead Democrat on the panel, Adam Schiff, raises doubts about the prospect, notes the Washington Post. Trump accused Schiff of leaving committee hearings to "illegally leak confidential information" and said he "must be stopped." Schiff has previously asserted that the Republican memo is misleading and intended mainly to discredit the Robert Mueller investigation. He and his staffers compiled the 10-page rebuttal memo in question, and Schiff has said it presents a point-by-point refutation of the Republican version, reports Politico. The GOP memo made the case that the FBI and the Justice Department were politically biased against candidate Trump and improperly obtained permission to spy on his campaign.
