Richard Grenell, the acting director of national intelligence, told Rep. Adam Schiff on Monday that 53 transcripts from the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into possible Trump-Russia collusion are ready to be released to the public.

In the letter, Grenell urged Schiff to publish the documents, but said that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is prepared to release them if the California Democrat refuses to do so.

“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 Members of Congress and the American public as soon as possible,” Grenell said in the letter, first reported by The Washington Examiner.

“I am also willing to release the transcripts directly from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, as to ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.”

Republicans have in recent weeks upped pressure on Schiff to release the transcripts.

Under pressure from Trump spy chief, Schiff moves to release Russia investigation transcripts

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is moving to release dozens of witness transcripts from the panel’s Russia investigation after the nation's spy chief said he would release them to end a two-year delay.

Schiff, who took over the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence following the 2018 midterm elections, pinned the blame on acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and his office for the lengthy standoff.

“After more than a year of unnecessary delay, the ODNI has finally concluded its protracted classification review of the Committee’s transcripts, and it also appears the White House has now abandoned its improper insistence on reviewing key transcripts, which the Committee appropriately rejected,” a Schiff spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday. “This process had already taken far too long, most notably because the ODNI improperly held up the declassification review and release of several transcripts at the request of the White House.”

A letter sent by Grenell to Schiff on Tuesday, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, said that “the ODNI-supervised interagency review of 43 (of the original 53) transcripts was completed in June 2019” and that, “as of today, the interagency review of the remaining transcripts has been completed as well.” Grenell told Schiff that, “pursuant to your guidance, these transcripts have not been shared with the White House.”
