Acting DNI Grenell Tells Schiff to Release the Transcripts or He Will

 

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has ok’d the release of the Russia probe transcripts. In doing so he urged House Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to release them and if he doesn’t he threatened to release then directly from his office.

According to Fox News:

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has told House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff that transcripts from the panel’s Russia probe are cleared for public release, as House Republicans demand access to the materials.

Grenell penned a letter — obtained by Fox News — this week to Schiff, D-Calif., notifying him that transcripts of all 53 interviews — which add up to more than 6,000 pages in total — related to foreign interference in the 2016 election can be released.

“As of today, the interagency review of the remaining ten transcripts has been completed, as well,” Grenell wrote, adding that “pursuant to your guidance, these transcripts have not been shared with the White House.”

“In the interests of transparency and accountability, I urge you to honor your previous public statements, and your Committee’s unanimous vote on this matter, to release all 53 cleared transcripts to all Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible,” Grenell wrote, while adding that he was “willing” to release the transcripts directly from ODNI “as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”

The Committee tried to claim that the ODNI delayed the process of reviewing the transcripts while also slamming the White House. However, House Republicans are accusing Schiff of blocking their access to the transcripts.
