A Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee suspects President Trump ordered the declassification of select Russia-related documents versus everything in order to avoid the impression that he is meddling in the federal Russia investigation.

“I think it’s just the political concern,” Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said on Fox News after acknowledging he can’t say for sure because he hasn’t spoken with Trump about it. “The pushback and the criticism that he would fall under and the accusations that you are trying to interfere with the Mueller investigation, et cetera. I think he’s trying to be careful and to do it in a way that responds to specific concerns.”
