Trump delays release of Russia probe documents
BINTANGNEWS.com – US
President Donald Trump has delayed the release of documents from the federal
probe of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump on Friday said the Justice
Department’s inspector general – an internal watchdog of the department – has
been asked to review these documents “on an expedited basis.”
"In the end I can always
declassify if it proves necessary," Trump tweeted. He said “speed is very
important to me – and everyone!”
Trump’s presidency has been bewildered
by allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether his
campaign colluded with Moscow.
The US Justice Department's Special
Counsel Robert Mueller is probing whether the Trump election campaign in 2016
colluded with Russian efforts to damage his opponent, Hillary Clinton, and
whether Trump has sought to illegally obstruct the investigation.
Trump has denied any collusion by his
campaign and has long denounced the Mueller probe as a witch hunt and a hoax.
Moscow has also denied any involvement.***
