The intelligence community is nearly done with a classification review of more than 50 transcripts from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s Russia investigation, a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Throughout this process we have cooperatively worked with the committee to complete the review in a timely manner, and we expect to complete the [intelligence community’s] review very soon,” the spokesperson said Friday.
For over eight months, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has pored through 53 House Intel transcripts to determine what information can be made public. It is not clear how long after the review is completed that the thousands of pages of documents will be made public.
The Intelligence panel voted Sept. 28, 2018, when Republicans controlled it, to submit the transcripts for classification review.
The committee interviewed 73 witnesses as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Some Obama administration officials were also interviewed about their activities prior to the election and during the presidential transition period.

Barr (see #292) indicates that both Coats (DNI) and Haspel (DCI) are fully cooperative in his review of the "Predicates" and the "Timeline," i.e., the core of his criminal investigation of the intelligence operation mounted by former leaders of the agencies, DoJ and WH (Obama) officials against the Trump campaign, the Trump administration and other Americans.
