President Trump urged the Justice Department to declassify remaining records related to the original Trump-Russia probe, especially following Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing. 

“They have the declassification order,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News. “And they should declassify, absolutely, especially in light of what has just happened and what has just been revealed.” 

Indeed, in a February 11th court filing, Durham alleged “Tech Executive-1” and his associates, including a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, “exploited” internet traffic pertaining to a “particular healthcare provider,” Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States to “establish ‘an inference’ and ‘narrative’” to then bring to federal government agencies connecting Trump to Russia. 

In May of 2019, following the completion of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Trump told then-Attorney General Bill Bar to begin a declassification process of records related to surveillance of his 2016 campaign. 

“We did declassify, and people saw them, and I think you’ll see some big stuff,” Trump said. 

Trump, calling on the Justice Department to publicly release the records, added that there's “tremendous dishonesty and corruption.” 

“They should release them,” he said. 

As of now, documents declassified include more than 6,000 pages of transcripts of interviews from the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation, which revealed that top Obama officials acknowledged they had no “empirical evidence” of collusion or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016.
