This story is almost 3 weeks old.WASHINGTON — In an unprecedented move that stunned current and former intelligence officials, President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the public release of highly classified documents and text messages related to the FBI investigation into whether his campaign conspired with Russia.
Just announced, no redactions.
A statement by the White House press office said Trump had directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Department of Justice and the FBI to declassify about 20 pages of a highly sensitive application for surveillance against Carter Page, a one-time Trump foreign policy aide.
The documents Trump is releasing reflect a specific request, down to the page numbers, made by the Republican members of the House judiciary and intelligence committees this summer. Justice and intelligence officials had resisted releasing the information on the grounds that it was too sensitive.
Trump also ordered the agencies to publicly release, in full, all text messages relating to the Russia investigation of former FBI Director James Comey, Former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and current Justice Department lawyer Bruce Ohr, a Russian organized crime expert. Those are all people Trump has criticized as out to get him. All had Top Secret clearances granting them access to sensitive government secrets.
In stunning move, Trump declassifies documents related to Russia probe
Anyone hearing about a 10am meeting tomorrow about national security?
They did, they just buried it. The old quick look over the headlines certainly doesn’t give you as much information as it used to. Media is in the business of selling “news”, they are trying to tell a story that will keep us all on the edge of our seats. It is amazing to see how the left howls about fox, brietbart, and oan and the right screams about cnn, ny times, and the Washington post. Both complaints are valid but neither side is willing to admit that their news sources are just as skewed as the other guys. Just look how they are all choosing to report our president contracting a disease that’s killed over 200,000 Americans since the spring. It’s insanity. Trump is using his virus for political theatre, NO Trump has triumphantly vanquished disease and he’s going for hunger and war next! It’s just so sad. We should not have to work this hard to get good information.This story is almost 3 weeks old.WASHINGTON — In an unprecedented move that stunned current and former intelligence officials, President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the public release of highly classified documents and text messages related to the FBI investigation into whether his campaign conspired with Russia.
