Q
President Trump ordered the declassification of various documents and text messages related to the Russia investigation that both the House Intelligence and House Oversight committees have requested.
The
order included selective portions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
application on Carter Page and "all FBI reports" prepared in
connection with the FISA warrant request, according to a statement Monday from
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
The
President also ordered the Justice Department to release all text messages
related to the Russia investigation from former FBI Director James Comey,
former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former
FBI lawyer Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr, a Justice Department official. Trump has
singled out all of those individuals in the past with withering criticism,
often on Twitter.
"When
the President issues such an order, it triggers a declassification review
process that is conducted by various agencies within the intelligence
community, in conjunction with the White House Counsel, to seek to ensure the
safety of America's national security interests. The Department and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation are already working with the Director of National
Intelligence to comply with the President's order," a Justice Department
spokesperson said in a statement.
A
source familiar with the declassification process confirmed that the public
release will not happen Monday night.
Bottom of Form
Democrats
on Capitol Hill immediately decried the order.
Conservatives
in the House of Representatives have been outspoken in calling on Trump to
declassify materials related to the Russia investigation for weeks, even though
they acknowledged they are not sure whether the documents will help or hurt
their arguments about improper conduct in the probe.
"We
don't know, which is why we need to see them," said Rep. Jim Jordan, an
Ohio Republican who's a member of the House Freedom Caucus and a leading critic
of the Russia probe, when asked last week what he believes the declassified
materials will show. "Transparency is a good thing, and the American
people need to know what's in there."
Trump's
allies on Capitol Hill have for months championed the narrative that the FBI
and the Justice Department wrongfully obtained a surveillance order on Page, a
Trump campaign foreign policy aide, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act. Their main argument focused on memos authored by former British
intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who Republicans believe harbored
anti-Trump bias they claim was not fully disclosed in the FISA application or
its renewals.
The
FBI released redacted versions of the FISA warrant applications in July, which
showed that the agency did raise concerns that Page was a target of Russian
recruitment and might have been working with the Kremlin. Page has denied the
allegations. A footnote also disclosed a political motivation behind the Steele
dossier and said the person behind it was likely looking for information to
discredit Trump's campaign, but Trump did not order the vast majority of that
portion of the October 2016 FISA declassified Monday.
