Trump Says He Declassified FBI Crossfire Hurricane Materials in January 2021

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday posted on social media that he declassified materials in late 2020 relating to the FBIโ€™s controversial Crossfire Hurricane investigation into his 2016 campaign.

The former president noted in two Truth Social posts that in October 2020, he wrote on his now-deleted Twitter account, โ€œI have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax,โ€ adding, โ€œLikewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!โ€

Trump on Thursday also made reference to a memorandum issued on Jan. 19, 2021โ€”a day before President Joe Bidenโ€™s inaugurationโ€”to declassify โ€œcertain materialsโ€ relating to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which was launched in July 2016 to investigate claims of Russian interference in the election. Years later, special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that the investigation found no evidence showing Trump or his campaign coordinated with Moscow to sway the election.

It was later revealed that Crossfire Hurricane was based partially on a series of notes and memos concocted by former UK spy Christopher Steeleโ€”known as the โ€œSteele dossierโ€โ€”while he was performing opposition research for a third party on behalf of the Clinton presidential campaign and Democrats. A number of allegations in his dossier have since been discredited by federal law enforcement officials.

Itโ€™s not exactly clear why Trump posted about his memo to declassify some documents relating to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

Both the Department of Justice and FBI have issued few comments about the raid since it was carried out, with Attorney General Merrick Garland confirming last week that he personally authorized seeking a warrant in the case.

Last week, the judge who approved the FBI search warrant of Trumpโ€™s Mar-a-Lago unsealed the warrant and property receipt, showing agents recovered alleged classified and top-secret documents, although no information has been provided about them so far by either Trumpโ€™s team or the federal government.

Lawyers for Trump and Republicans have called for the Justice Departmentโ€™s affidavit seeking the FBI search warrant to be unsealed. The move would reveal the federal agencyโ€™s justification to carry out the raid and what FBI agents were searching for at Mar-a-Lago.
