John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, has been coordinating with U.S. Attorney John Durham and plans to soon declassify more documents related to the Trump-Russia probe, he said Sunday.
Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, is conducting a sprawling investigation into several aspects of the U.S. government's surveillance activities against Trump associates.
He is investigating the FBI's decision to open an investigation in July 2016 against Trump campaign associates over their possible ties to Russia, as well as an intelligence community assessment that said the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 election in order to help Donald Trump win.
"I'm coordinating with him to make sure that he has the intelligence documents that he needs to do his work, and what I don't want to do is declassify something that might prejudice his work so we're going to have to coordinate as we go forward," said Ratcliffe, a former U.S. congressman from Texas.
32%. 68%. Ratcliffe said he has tried to avoid declassifying documents that would "Prejudice" Durham's investigation, though he said he's "Optimistic that I'll be declassifying additional documents soon."
Richard Grenell, have declassified documents related to the Steele dossier, unmasking requests related to former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and the intelligence community assessment of Russia's election interference.
Grenell declassified information in footnotes from the Justice Department inspector general's report on the FBI's Trump investigation, which showed that the bureau had evidence that the Steele dossier may have contained disinformation planted by Russian intelligence officers.
