I wouldn’t hold my breath here. We’ve been hearing this from Trump for over a year now, and he’s done nothing. But again, he’s threatening to declassify key Russia investigation documents. Let’s just say at this point i’ll believe it when I actually see it.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is “seriously” considering declassifying a slew of documents requested by former Republican House leaders investigating the FBI’s handling of the Russia probe. Trump was pummeled with questions during a rancorous White House press briefing where he congratulated Republicans for winning Senate races and said he hoped to work with the new Democratic House leadership.
The president addressed questions regarding whether or not he would end Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, stating, “I could, I could fire everybody right now. Politically, I don’t like stopping it.”
“It’s a disgrace,” said Trump of the Special Counsel investigation. “It should have never been started because there is no crime.”“They all have conflicts over there that are beyond anything anybody has ever seen in terms of conflicts,” he added.
Trump referenced former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired in May of 2017, after DOJ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a scathing letter listing Comey’s failures. That letter led to Trump firing Comey.
