Trump Again Goes After FBI And 'Justice' Department
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Monday again attacked the FBI and Justice Department.
President Trump on Monday slammed the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation apparently for their handling of the House Judiciary Committee's request for Hillary Clinton-related documents.
"So sad that the Department of 'Justice' and the FBI are slow walking, or even not giving, the unredacted documents requested by Congress. An embarrassment to our country!" the president tweeted.
According to Politico, Trump's comment comes not long after "the House committee subpoenaed the Justice Department for documents pertaining to Clinton's private email server, specifically noting the 'ongoing delays' in having its previous requests fulfilled."
FBI Director Christopher Wray has since announced the doubling of the staff assigned to that effort.
Trump has criticized both the FBI and Justice Department on a number of occasions.
"As the House Intelligence Committee has concluded, there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump Campaign," he tweeted in mid-March. "As many are now finding out, however, there was tremendous leaking, lying and corruption at the highest levels of the FBI, Justice & State."
In February, just days after the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Trump said via Twitter, "Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable."
"They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion," the president further noted. "Get back to the basics and make us all proud!"
