Trump Orders Declassification of Crossfire Hurricane Documents

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to declassify FBI documents related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which probed the Trump campaign's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election. The order excludes materials protected by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and is intended to promote transparency and expose what Trump describes as a 'total weaponization' of the federal agencies involved. The investigation, launched in 2016 and led by special counsel Robert Mueller, did not find conclusive evidence of collusion but highlighted Russian interference in the election. Trump and his supporters have long criticized the investigation as politically motivated, and this move aims to hold the FBI accountable for its actions. Despite the declassification, the Biden administration has been criticized for delaying the release of these documents. The FBI has already enacted reforms based on recommendations from a subsequent review of the investigation's conduct.
