The Department of Justice blocked the release of hundreds of pages of 'Russiagate' documents that were declassified by then-president Donald Trump
- The declassified documents included transcripts of intercepts made by the FBI of Trump aides, a declassified copy of the final FISA warrant approved by an intelligence court, and the tasking orders and debriefings of the two main confidential human sources, Christopher Steele and Stefan Halper, used to investigate whether Trump had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
The declassified documents have never seen the light of day
- The DOJ disobeyed a direct order from the sitting US president, through Meadows, to declassify and expeditiously release them after private information was redacted.
- Meadows returned the bulk of the binder to the DOJ with the instruction that the Department must expedite a Privacy Act review under the standards that the DOJ would normally apply, redact material appropriately, and release the remaining material with redactions applied.
If the documents are ever released, they will show that congressional Democrats and FBI leadership knew they were lying
- According to Meadows, if the president was all in on transparency issues, only to find that many, whether they be at a particular agency or the Pentagon, they started pushing back.
