Trump orders intel agencies to assist Barr with review of Russia probe
The formal memorandum released by the White House late Thursday evening directs the heads of each agency to "promptly provide" information as Barr requests.
The move represents a new step in expanding Barr's powers as he embarks on a controversial review of the early counterintelligence work that kicked off the Russia investigation, which has loomed large over Trump's first term in office. But the move could also serve as a prelude to a larger declassification effort Trump has floated since last fall as he's battled his own intelligence agencies and accused former officials, without evidence, of conspiring against him.
"Today's action will help ensure that all Americans learn the truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last Presidential election and will restore confidence in our public institutions," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
