Trump has in recent months leveled heavy criticism at the FBI and the Justice Department regarding the investigation into possible Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election.

He frequently refers to the probe as a “witch hunt” and accuses leadership at the agencies of being corrupt.

During an appearance on the “Fox & Friends” morning show last month, Trump threatened to intervene at the Justice Department.

"Because of the fact that they have this witch hunt going on, with people in the Justice Department that shouldn't be there — they have a witch hunt against the president of the United States going on," Trump said.

"You look at the corruption at the top of the FBI — it's a disgrace," Trump said. "And our Justice Department, which I try and stay away from, but at some point I won't."
