El Salvador? Go ahead and torture people. Trump will see to it you don't get called out!
Russia? Wanna keep killing Ukrainians? Knock yourself out! Trump & Rubio will splash on a little white wash!

A senior State Department official in a briefing with reporters declined to provide specific details about the contents of the report but said it had been restructured in a way that "removes redundancies, increases report readability".
