FBI & DOJ to Redact Documents Trump Ordered Fully Declassified

HeadlineSep 20, 2018

The FBI and Department of Justice are reportedly planning to defy President Trump and redact documents that Trump ordered to be fully declassified earlier this week. On Monday, Trump gave the unusual directive to release unredacted materials related to the Russia probe, including the FISA surveillance warrant application for Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and text messages of former FBI and Department of Justice officials. The proposed redactions are expected to be submitted to the director of national intelligence before being handed over to the White House.
