From John Newman on Facebook, in the last two hours.
Pete Williams of NBC News just sent this message to Paul Hoch:
It's mid afternoon Washington time. NARA requires final authorisation from Trump for document release today. Last minute delays indicate the letter agencies, presumably caught by surprise, are scrambling to now hold and delete damaging material.
If material is withheld at the last minute in the middle of all this press attention, the obvious question - for a mainstream audience that doesn't already know the answer - is 'Why?'
Pete Williams of NBC News just sent this message to Paul Hoch:
Quote:Paul I just talked to an official at another US agency whose documents are at issue. His understanding is that some material will come out today but the remainder will be postponed to a later date. However, the issue of what to do now is still being discussed, and no decisions have been made.
What we've been told is that the CIA is asking only for redactions, not for withholding documents in their entirety. We believe the same to be true of FBI.
