The Trump administration will likely make public a controversial, classified memo that raises questions about the FBI's handling of the Russia probe tomorrow.
The four-page memo reportedly accuses the Justice Department of being biased, and claims both it and the FBI have abused their authority during the investigation.
Here's what we know about the memo so far, and why the FBI is (unsurprisingly) concerned.
The memo was drafted in early January
It was written by Republican staffers on the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees the government's various intelligence agencies and bureaus.
The House Intelligence Committee then voted for the memo to be made public on Monday this week.
But under house rules, President Donald Trump now has a few days to mull it over and can object to its release if he wants to.
That's unlikely to happen, though.
A Trump administration official today said the memo would likely be released tomorrow.
And television cameras captured Mr Trump telling a Republican congressman after the State of the Union address yesterday that he fully backed its release.
"Oh yeah, don't worry. 100 per cent," he said.
But Trump hasn't read it yet
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told CNN that a legal and national security review of the document was continuing.
Mr Trump had not read the memo "as of last night prior to and immediately after the State of the Union," she said on Wednesday (local time).
The White House counsel's office has been in possession of the memo, officials say, and the National Security Council is leading a review, which will also involve the White House legal team.
What does the memo say?
So far there are only reports.
According to the Reuters news agency, Mr Trump believes it proves that the FBI and Justice Department have conspired against him.
He's reportedly been telling his allies that it proves that the allegations of collusion between his campaign and Russian officials are false, and are part of a conspiracy to discredit his election.
Meanwhile, Republicans say the memo reveals surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department in the early stages of the investigation.
Specifically, they claim the FBI and Justice Department used false grounds to conduct surveillance as part of the probe.
But Democrats have called the memo a "cherry-picked" list of talking points that attempt to discredit the FBI.
Adam Schiff, the intelligence committee's senior Democrat, said the Republican memo was intended to set the stage for Mr Trump to fire Mueller or Rosenstein.
The FBI is 'gravely concerned' about the memo
In a short and sharp statement released today, it questioned the document's accuracy.
"The FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it," it said.
"As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy."
The Justice Department also believes it would be reckless to release the memo.
Earlier this week, FBI director Christopher Wray and deputy attorney-general Rod Rosenstein warned White House chief-of-staff John Kelly that doing so would set a dangerous precedent and put national security at risk.
Why is this being made public?
It's an unusual move because the committee usually goes out of its way to protect classified information in the interest of shielding intelligence sources and methods.
In fact, the vote to release the memo was unprecedented in the committee's history.
But representative Devin Nunes, the House intelligence chairman and a close ally of the president, said the memo shows top officials used unverified information.
"It's clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign," Mr Nunes said.
"Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again."
He also fired back at the law enforcement agencies, calling the FBI and Justice Department objections "spurious".
What happens now?
There is likely to be quite a bit of fallout in Washington if the Trump administration follows through and publishes the memo tomorrow.
