The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Saturday released a collection of documents related to former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.
The records include revelations about a host of figures close to President Trump's campaign, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen.
The public disclosure came in response to five separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits filed by BuzzFeed News in an attempt to gain access to the primary source documents Mueller's investigative team accumulated over the course of its probe, the news outlet reported.
BuzzFeed News said its lawsuits requested subpoenas and search warrants Mueller's team issued in addition to any emails, memos, letters, talking points, legal opinions and interview transcripts it created. The DOJ had reportedly pushed back against the request, saying that the records being sought could total 18 billion pages.
But U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said the department should ask Congress for assistance if it couldn't handle the task of releasing the requested documents.
The first batch includes 500 pages of summaries of FBI interviews with witnesses, according to summaries and documents shared by BuzzFeed News. The news outlet said new records will be released every month for the next eight years.

Can we get this group to get Hillray’s files released?
So when is the IG report coming out? Never?
One way street.
I'm getting fed up with Barr.
Lots of people were also, until he stopped the Mueller farce dead in its tracks.
“possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.”
These people are vampires.
Raw data just like the stuff on Hillary's White House table. The most damaging kind of information, not vetted and prone to wild interpretations. The Warren Report on steroids.
The mere mention of ‘BUZZFEED’ taints this report as describing a continuation of the disinformation of the Mueller Report as proving Trump obstructed justice. Expect BUZZCRAP to run a slew of half-truths designed to stir up negatives on Trump based on asinine Mueller Report hidden sources revealed in a FOIA release.
I'm getting fed up with Barr.
Same here! I am beginning to get the feeling they might be as bad as the Muller report. In spite of the so called criminal activity. Something is wrong.
Yep, Libs file FOIA request and it’s sent in days...... conservatives file FOIA and it’s turned down on made up grounds, conservatives then go to court and court rules for conservatives. Government replies what documents? Conservatives file another lawsuit and documents are finally supplied years or decades later.
So where can I download them? Scribed doesn’t count.
