Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson are urging President Donald Trump to release additional records from the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, saying thousands of pages remain classified despite his earlier declassification directive.
In a November 10 letter published by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the senators identified a December 2019 FBI email and attachment, an approximately 400-page internal inspection report and outstanding inspector-general interview transcripts.
The senators said they have received 58 redacted transcripts out of 165 transcribed interviews. Some of the remaining transcripts are still classified. They argued the records would provide further evidence of political weaponization, a characterization that cannot be independently assessed from the unreleased material.
Trump’s March 2025 declassification memorandum directed the release of a specified collection of Crossfire Hurricane records, while preserving certain classified redactions, court restrictions and other legally protected information.
Grassley and Johnson want Trump to intervene again to secure the remaining records’ release. The letter does not announce a new release or establish why each outstanding record remains withheld.
