Grenell says intelligence community working to declassify Flynn-Kislyak transcripts
By Olivia Beavers - 05/22/20 02:04 PM EDT

Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell revealed Friday he is working to declassify some of the transcripts and intelligence reports related to former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with a Russian diplomat.

Grenell tweeted that he intends to release records from the intelligence community (IC) that contain information on Flynn's contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that raised concerns with the Obama administration.

"The IC doesn’t have all the transcripts/summaries....it wasn’t our product," Grenell tweeted Friday. "But I already started the declassification for the few we received. They should be released in full, though. The public deserves to see it."


Grenell also took aim at Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, suggesting that Chairman Adam Schiff (Calif.), Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) and others were misleading the public.
