Judge orders DOJ to find out if Trump's declassification tweets mean entire Mueller report should be released

A federal judge ordered the Justice Department to get an answer directly from President Trump about whether recent tweets and statements by him constituted orders to declassify, unredact, and make public special counsel Robert Mueller’s entire report along with all of the FBI interviews connected to that investigation.

Judge Reggie Walton, who has critiqued Attorney General William Barr’s handling of the Mueller report in the past but also upheld redactions in it, issued that order during a Friday teleconference following an emergency motion filed by BuzzFeed with the district court. The outlet is seeking access to the entire April 2019 report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and unproven claims of Trump-Russia collusion in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
