WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Wednesday he intends to release classified documents the FBI used to launch a probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election as he and his allies call for a deeper look into the origins of that investigation.

In a 45-minute interview on Fox News in which Trump attacked his critics and touted a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe that found “no collusion” with Russia, Trump said his attorneys initially advised him not to release the documents used to secure a wiretap on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

"I do, I have plans to declassify and release,” Trump told Fox. “I have plans to absolutely release.”

Trump, who had previously ordered the release of the documents before reversing course, also used the interview to criticize opponents and tout what he described as progress on his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

4. They'll never see the light of day. His lawyers will stop this nonsense. Hope they can't!

5. He can't declassify the Mueller Report, though. THAT's up to his A.G.

He'll just declassify some of the underlying investigative docs, which will expose sources and methods our domestic counterintel people use vs the Russkies.

Nifty.
