President Donald Trump said Wednesday night he has plans to declassify and release the FISA warrants that were used to start surveillance on members of his campaign in 2016.

Trump was on Fox News and told host Sean Hannity he has wanted to do so for some time, but his lawyers advised against it.

"I have plans to declassify and release," Trump said. "I have plans to absolutely release. But I have some very talented people working for me, lawyers. And they really didn't want me to do it early on.

"I'm glad I didn't do it. We got a great result without having to do it, but we will. One of the reasons that my lawyers didn't want me to do it, they said if I do it, they will call it a form of obstruction."

Special counsel Robert Mueller finished his investigation and concluded Trump did not conspire with the Russians to win the 2016 election. Mueller failed to come to a conclusion either way on obstruction of justice, but the Department of Justice said it will not pursue a prosecution.

"I thought it would be better if we held it to the end," Trump said. "But at the right time, we will be absolutely releasing it."
