The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee released the investigative interview with Justice Department figure Bruce Ohr on Friday, defying the department, which had slow-walked the release.
Rep. Doug Collins, Georgia Republican, released it to the Congressional Record, giving him protections against retaliation for the move.
Mr. Collins said he made the decision because Democrats have made clear they are intent on probing President Trump, and he wanted to make clear “what actually happened” in 2016.
Mr. Ohr was a conduit for information between the ex-British spy who compiled the anti-Trump dossier in 2016, and the FBI that began the investigation that is still ongoing into the president.
“We found a very disturbing pattern of behavior at the Department of Justice,” Mr. Collins told reporters.
