Security clearances are almost exclusively and executive branch determination.

It would be pretty stupid, but he has the authority

Congress members generally don’t get or need them. That are an executive branch device.

In more direct answer to your question... it’s unlikely that must of the redacted material (if any) would not be related to classified material.

I just thought that THOSE members of congress with FULL security clearances should head over to BARRs office and demand to see full report. THIS was my thinking!
