President Trump is expected to declassify a series of documents related to both former campaign adviser Carter Page and Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr, according to an Axios report on Sunday.
Trump could declassify the documents relating to Page and the activities of senior DOJ lawyer Ohr as early as this week, Axios reported.
Allies of the president told the outlet that Trump and congressional Republicans have been pushing for the release of the documents.
"After two years of investigations and accusations from both sides of the aisle about what documents indicate, it is past time for documents to be declassified and let the American people decide for themselves if DoJ and FBI acted properly,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told the outlet.
Republicans on the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees have argued that the documents showcase alleged anti-Trump bias within the DOJ and thus discredit special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
The GOP has long questioned whether the federal probe into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia was launched based on the controversial dossier from former British Christopher Steele.
Ohr's wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS, the firm that funded Steele’s research behind the document.
Axios noted that Ohr did not disclose on federal forms that his wife worked on Russia-related matters for the firm during the presidential election.
Ohr, who previously served as associate deputy attorney general, was demoted late last year over his contacts with Steele.
Trump has escalated his attacks on Ohr in several weeks, asking in a tweet "how the hell" Ohr was still employed at the DOJ.
"I think Bruce Ohr is a disgrace," Trump tweeted in July. “I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. For him to be in the Justice Department and doing what he did, that is a disgrace.”
I have been hoping and praying for this to happen. Will he do it? Please, Dear Lord!
No offense to the President or anyone else, but it’s better to make the announcement after the deed is done. Release everything, then tell us about it after dinner.
It never seems to work out the other way around.
But, but, won’t this be declared “obstruction of justice”?
It’s a shame President Trump didn’t have you advising him a couple of years ago. He might have won that crowded primary and possibly even the presidency.
“..Republicans on the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees have argued that the documents showcase alleged anti-Trump bias within the DOJ and thus discredit special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation...”
And the scope of outright participation and involvement goes MUCH wider than that.
Yeah, isn’t it?
They may try some other monkey business to pre-empt POTUS45, but it will fizzle as usual. And then, POTUS45 will release the krakens (I mean the unredacted docs), at the right time for him.
Time
How do you obstruct justice by revealing truth?
It’s called stirring the pot. Never know what’s gonna jump out.
Pardon my misunderstanding, but what
benefit does declassifying anything have?
By now even any half interested normie
already knows colossal fraud and injustice has been
perpetrated by the Left/Never Trumper/Uniparty
vs Trump and half the nation
No, because these announcements are art of the plan. They serve an important purpose - to acclimate people to what is coming. Slowly, step by step the swamp is being drained and the deep state actors are being exposed and eliminated, without disrupting the economy and creating political chaos.
Brilliant, actually.
.... Been saying this for almost a month now .... Will believe it when I see it. Of course if it is heavily redacted ..... Probably won’t have a whole lot of impact. Expect to see a lot of stalling until after the November elections.
The goons guilty of sedition including the MSM Leakers will be needing a lot of Imodium in the coming days and weeks. Let’s all hope there are enough cells to accommodate them all.
Lots of damaging information, 20 redacted pages, will make Rod R and Muehler go away!
I don't like the heads-ups and dragging it out.
I'd rather see shock and awe.
No, release is for unredacted documents, will be huge!
There are probably other things he could declassify too. It is nuts he lets this go on while the criminals continue to mock. Enough already.
Just a few of those swing votes in a few districts and states may be decisive, for control of the next Congress.
