A declassification wish list was sent to former President Donald Trump’s White House by members of Congress, according to a former Pentagon official who also served as a top investigator for the House Intelligence Committee.
On that list, Kash Patel said, was a classified House Intelligence Committee report that criticized the analytic tradecraft in the Obama administration’s 2017 intelligence community assessment’s conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s motivations in the interference campaign leading to the 2016 election. However, despite an eleventh-hour declassification order by Trump before he left office last month, it has remained outside the public’s view.
