Trump Authorizes Barr to Declassify Documents in ‘Spying’ Probe

The president, in a memo released Thursday, directed U.S. intelligence agencies to cooperate with Barr’s review, which he has said would look into allegations by Trump and his allies that his campaign was spied upon and that various figures in the Justice Department and the FBI were trying to undermine him. “We have documents now that I have declassified for the purpose of the attorney general,” Trump told reporters on Friday.
