An Oct. 15 letter written by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to the inspector general for the intelligence community, reviewed by Reuters, confirmed he was seeking the declassification of the document at the request of Devin Nunes, the senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.

Ratcliffe and others had been pushing to have the intelligence declassified by Thursday night, one of the officials said. If successful, that would allow its release around the time that Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden square off in their final debate.The White House, the Department of Justice and the CIA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The National Security Agency declined to comment.

It would not be the first time that Ratcliffe has declassified material that questioned the 2017 intelligence community assessment over the objections of U.S. intelligence agencies.
