Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump ordered the declassification of various documents and text messages related to the Russia investigation that both the House Intelligence and House Oversight committees have requested. The President also ordered the Justice Department to release all text messages related to the Russia investigation from former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr, a Justice Department official. Trump has singled out all of those individuals in the past with withering criticism, often on Twitter. The Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are already working with the Director of National Intelligence to comply with the President's order," a Justice Department spokesperson said in a statement. A source familiar with the declassification process confirmed to CNN that the public release will not happen Monday night.
