Don takes new jab at Justice
PRESIDENT Trump attacked his own Justice Department and FBI on Twitter Monday, accusing them of withholding information and “slow walking” the production of documents to Republicans in Congress.
Trump also appeared to question the integrity of the Justice Department in his tweet by putting quotation marks around the word “Justice.” He said the conduct of the agencies overseen by his appointees is an “embarrassment to our country.”
The criticism comes about a week after Trumpappointed FBI Director Christopher Wray assigned 54 FBI staff to work from 8 a.m. to midnight collecting and reviewing documents requested by various congressional investigations.
The President could expedite the release of the documents on his own by declassifying them.
