Trump also ordered the Justice Department to release text messages from a number of the key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" -- including Ohr, Strzok, Lisa Page, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The June 2017 application was the last of four filed by the Justice Department in support of FISA court orders allowing the monitoring of Page for nearly a year. Carter Page told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Monday night that the FBI's investigation was "so incredibly stupid to begin with." The source added that the Justice Department is working on a "compressed timeline" and they expect the first release of records in days or sooner. House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called Trump's decision "a clear abuse of power."
