Attorney General William Barr
President Donald Trump has allowed Attorney General William Barr to further examine the investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign by declassifying previously top-secret documents to him.
Trump tasked Barr to investigate the origins of the Russia probe earlier this May.
Some of the newly declassified information will come from the Director of National Intelligence, the Pentagon or any other similar agencies.
In the first of his three tweets, Trump introduced what Barr’s role will be and what impact he will make.
