Trump Says Asked Inspector General to Review Russia Probe Documents Before Declassifying

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st September, 2018) US President Donald Trump said in a statement that the Inspector General for the Department of Justice (DOJ) will quickly review all of the documents he wants to declassify and release to the public in connection with the Russia election investigation.

"I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents.

They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe. Also, key Allies' called to ask not to release. Therefore, the Inspector General has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis. I believe he will move quickly on this (and hopefully other things which he is looking at). In the end I can always declassify if it proves necessary. Speed is very important to me - and everyone!" Trump said via Twitter.
