Trump Orders Immediate Declassification of FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation Materials
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order for the immediate declassification of materials related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane investigation. The order, aimed at shedding light on the FBI's probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, was announced on March 25, 2025.
The declassification directive targets documents that Trump and his administration believe were unjustly withheld from public scrutiny. The move has sparked significant debate across political lines, with supporters praising the push for transparency and critics expressing concerns over potential risks to national security and ongoing investigations.
The White House's decision comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of the FBI's actions during the investigation. The order specifically mentions the need to review materials that could reveal how the investigation was initiated and conducted. This action follows previous attempts by Trump to declassify related documents, highlighting the administration's continued focus on the issue.
