This investigation, which scrutinized alleged connections between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, has long been a focal point for Trump and his administration, who argue that it was predicated on false premises.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley have formally requested that FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi release documents related to the Crossfire Hurricane probe. This request follows a previous appeal for an unredacted transcript from the Inspector General’s report on the investigation, which was provided with significant redactions. The Senators' letter highlights that the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) lacks the authority to remove these redactions, as they were imposed by various government agencies, including the Justice Department and the Department of State.

Thus, in addition to the OIG concerns described above, the OIG does not have the authority to release information that those agencies have indicated is exempt from disclosure,'" the Senators noted in their correspondence.

He criticized both the DOJ and FBI for failing to adhere to their legal obligations, stating, "Based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation."
