Trump Administration Declassifies ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ Documents: Inside the FBI’s Controversial Trump-Russia Investigation

FBI Director Patel Releases Nearly 700 Pages of Previously Classified Materials Following Presidential Executive Order

In a significant development that promises to shed new light on one of the most contentious investigations in recent American history, FBI Director Kash Patel has released hundreds of pages of declassified documents from the bureau’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation to Congress. These materials, which center on allegations of collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, have been released following a March 2025 executive order from President Trump explicitly directing their declassification.

The document cache, labeled the “Crossfire Hurricane Redacted Binder” and dated April 9, 2025, spans nearly 700 pages and has been obtained exclusively by Just the News. This release represents the culmination of a years-long effort by Trump to make these materials public—an initiative that began during the final days of his first administration but was subsequently blocked by his own Justice Department officials and later by the Biden administration.

The declassification has reignited debate about the origins and legitimacy of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged Russian connections, an inquiry that multiple subsequent investigations have criticized as being fundamentally flawed and potentially politically motivated.
