President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was considering using his executive power to "get involved" in a document dispute between the Department of Justice and congressional Republicans that's tied to federal investigations into his campaign's ties to Russia.

A Rigged System - They don’t want to turn over Documents to Congress. What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal “justice?” At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 2, 2018

Trump-allied Republicans have been sparring with the Justice Department for weeks over the lawmakers' requests to obtain documents related to the Russia investigation and the Hillary Clinton email probe. It was not immediately clear what Trump means about getting "involved."

The tweet earned a quick reprimand from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who told the president, "Do not go down this road."

Mr. President, the powers of the Presidency do not give you the right to interfere with or shut down the Russia investigation. Firing the Deputy AG or Director Mueller would create a constitutional crisis. Do not go down this road. https://t.co/rqhxKFYYQC — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 2, 2018

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, argued that Republicans are "clearly trying to sabotage Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. There is no reason for them to demand key strategic documents about an ongoing criminal investigation except to do damage to the investigation."

The Wednesday morning feudingcame a day after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the Justice Department "is not going to be extorted" by congressional Republicans who had drafted articles of impeachment against him over the document dispute.
