Trump orders declassification of FBI’s Russia investigation

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum to declassify most FBI files related to allegations of collusion with Russia during his 2016 campaign, known as Crossfire Hurricane. The FBI’s investigation, which began in July 2016, sought to determine if Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia during the election.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated these claims. Mueller concluded that he did not establish any criminal collusion between Trump and Russia.

Trump’s order for declassification exempts specific redacted information, including materials protected by Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders.
