President Donald Trump on Tuesday declassified all documents pertaining to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Files related to an investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for official public communications were also declassified.

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” Trump tweeted.

The decision has been heavily covered by conservative news outlets.

The Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference under special prosecutor Robert Mueller was conducted from May 2017 to March 2019. Mueller was trying to determine whether Trump’s presidential campaign colluded with Russia.

The final Mueller report released in March 2019 did not find evidence of widespread collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The report left it up to Congress to determine whether Trump obstructed justice during the investigation.

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that parts of the Special Counsel's report were improperly redacted by Attorney General William Barr and that the Justice Department must release those parts before Election Day.

U.S. Attorney John Durham is currently conducting an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

Clinton, who served as a Secretary of State during the Obama administration, was criticized by Trump for using a private email server to send classified emails. The emails were a major theme in the 2016 election, but an FBI investigation did not recommend criminal charges for Clinton.
