Trump hails move to declassify documents

President Donald Trump announced he has authorized the declassification of documents related to the FBI’S Russia investigation and the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account, part of his efforts to cast aspersions on his political enemies as he falls further behind in his bid for reelection.

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax,” Trump tweeted Tuesday.

“Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” Trump said.

Former FBI Director James Comey told a Senate committee last week that the inquiry into whether people close to Trump conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election was largely conducted “by the book” but that specific aspects of the inquiry fell short.
