Trump administration declassifies more documents from FBI's Russia investigation


(CNN) The Trump administration declassified a new set of documents related to the FBI's Russia investigation at the request of congressional Republicans, who are ramping up their attacks on the Russia probe ahead of potential Senate testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller. Attorney General William Barr declassified two additional documents on Friday at the request of Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who subsequently released them. Neither document provides significant new information about the FBI's Russia investigation. But the newly declassified documents add additional details to the understanding of the FBI's Russia probe, which is being scrutinized by multiple GOP-led Senate committees. The Trump administration has declassified and provided Congress with a plethora of documents related to the origins of the investigation, the prosecution of Michael Flynn and other issues -- and the Justice Department signaled additional documents were likely to be produced as the congressional investigations march on.
