Trump Orders Declassification of Materials in Russia Probe

HeadlineSep 18, 2018

President Trump has taken the unusual step of ordering the intelligence community to declassify a trove of documents and text messages related to the ongoing investigation into Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election. The documents include the FISA warrant application targeting Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page, as well as the text messages related to the Russian probe of a number of former high-ranking FBI and Department of Justice officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, as well as Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr. Congressmember Adam Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, criticized Trump, calling his move a “clear abuse of power.”
