Opens to typical CNN anti-Trump 'Deep State' tirade.
[CNN] President Donald Trump on Saturday called for his Justice Department to allow members of Congress to review documents related to an FBI informant who spoke to some of Trump's advisers during the 2016 presidential campaign.
"If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Only the release or review of documents that the House Intelligence Committee (also, Senate Judiciary) is asking for can give the conclusive answers. Drain the Swamp!"
The tweet, which fosters an unsupported theory circulating on Capitol Hill and conservative media outlets about an intelligence "informant" spying on the Trump campaign, appears to be the first time Trump has called for the department to allow lawmakers to see the documents. It sets up another possible battle between the President and his own Justice Department. Trump has attacked the department's leaders over their handling of the Russia investigation, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal from that probe, and criticized the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server. |
Anxiously awaiting Halper, Brennan, and MI6 connection.
