"The depositions that we took, I believe about seventy people, those need to be published and I think they need to be published before the election," Devin Nunes told Fox News. "I expect to make those available from our committee to the American public in the next few weeks."
Nunes noted that the majority of the transcripts are not classified, and that classified documents would be sent to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
"The ones that are classified we will have to send to the Director of National Intelligence to declassify, but we hope that would only take a matter of days and they don't do their normal foot-dragging where they slow roll and we don't get these before the election," Nunes offered.
Nunes connected his intention to declassify and make public all of the Russiagate transcripts in a bid to make the ongoing investigation more transparent, because "there's so much that's out there that's misinformation or disinformation on this Russia-gate fiasco […] we need this information out before the election."

Trump often dismisses the Mueller probe as a 'witch hunt' and the Kremlin has openly refuted the meddling allegations as absurd.
