The House Intelligence Committee on Thursday released transcripts of interviews from its Russia investigation in 2017 and 2018 after House Republicans earlier in the week called for their release.<\/p>\n

The committee released<\/a> more than 6,000 pages of documents from its investigation\u2014a total of 57 transcripts from interviews, as well as additional relevant material.<\/p>\n

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the committees chairman, said in a statement<\/a> that he believes the transcripts hold \u201cdamning information and evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transcripts include interviews with President Donald Trumps associates, including his son Donald Trump Jr.; his son-in-law, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner; former chief executive for the Trump campaign Steve Bannon; Roger Stone; Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale; and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

There were also interviews with figures linked to the Obama administration, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; former Attorney General Loretta Lynch; former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates; former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power; former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice; and former Obama counselor and Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta.<\/p>\n

The transcripts release comes after Republicans on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees alleged that \u201cChairman Schiff is blocking the release of these transcripts\u201d and called for access to them<\/a> in a letter on May 5.<\/p>\n

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said in a letter to Schiff on May 4 that 53 transcripts can be released<\/a> \u201cwithout any concerns of disclosing classified material.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grenell added that he was also willing to release the transcripts directly from his office \u201cto ensure we comply with the unanimous and bipartisan vote to release the transcripts.\u201d The 53 transcripts are now available<\/a> on the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) website.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the bipartisan request of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence [HPSCI], the Intelligence Community reviewed all transcripts for classification and made appropriate redactions,\u201d Grenell told Fox News<\/a> on Thursday. \u201cHPSCI voted unanimously in [September] 2018 to publicly release these transcripts, and it is long past time that these are released.\u201d<\/p>\n

The House Intelligence Committee announced in January 2017 that it was investigating allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, including possible links between Russia and any political campaigns. The committee concluded the probe in March 2018 after interviewing more than 73 witnesses and reviewing more than 300,000 documents, and said that there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have found no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians,\u201d the committee said in its preliminary summary of the findings (pdf<\/a>). The final report<\/a> (pdf<\/a>) of its Russia investigation was released in April 2018. The committee also said it agreed with the Intelligence Communitys assessment (pdf<\/a>) that Russia interfered with the 2016 elections, but not with the idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a preference for then-candidate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
