Donald Trump warned the Department of Justice that he's increasingly inclined to use the power of the presidency to compel the law enforcement entity to comply with document requests from Congress.

The president publicly reminded DOJ and the FBI in a tweet that he has the authority to take action if they do not turn over information on Hillary Clinton's email case and the Russia probe to congressional investigators.

'I have tried to stay uninvolved with the Department of Justice and FBI (although I do not legally have to), because of the now totally discredited and very expensive Witch Hunt currently going on,' he stated.

He added: 'But you do have to ask why the DOJ & FBI aren’t giving over requested documents?'

Trump has repeatedly prodded his attorney general and other DOJ officials to act on document requests and wrap up the special counsel investigation as soon as possible.

He has hinted several times over the last few weeks that his requests could turn into formal demands if DOJ doesn't doesn't pony up.

In closed-door sessions at the White House he has also put pressure on the Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, and Chris Wray, the director of the FBI, to speed up the production process.

Last month, the president even sent White House representatives to lead-off a classified briefing on the probes, spooking some members of Congress who said the president was getting too close to the investigations that directly involve his 2016 campaign.

Trump's tweet on Monday morning came after House Rep. Mark Meadows appearance on Fox & Friends to talk about the tension between Congress and the executive branch.

'There's going to be floor action this week,' he said. 'We will be voting to compel DOJ and FBI to make sure that they get those documents.'

Meadows told Fox that Congress has only received 10,000 of documents, with a potential for 50,000 to be turned over, in response to its requests.

Congressional investigators are reviewing FBI agents' conduct in the lead-up to the presidential election.

DOJ faces a 5 pm deadline today to turn over the documents to the GOP-run Congress before House Speaker Paul Ryan takes unprecedented floor action to force the executive branch to send over the requested information.

Meadows said that Congress is seeking additional information about a conversation that took place between FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI official Andrew McCabe.

Strzok is an FBI agent who worked on the Clinton email probe and was originally part of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation. He's riding a desk currently in the HR department while the FBI looks into an inspector general report that found he and a lawyer for the FBI he was in a relationship with conducted themselves inappropriately.

The two FBI officials sent messages to each other pledging to 'stop' Donald Trump from becoming president. At least one message suggests their conversations about an 'insurance policy' in case Trump did win extended to the deputy FBI director.

'I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office - that there’s no way he gets elected - but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,' a Strzok message on Aug. 15, 2016 said. 'It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.'

McCabe lost his job earlier this year just prior to his retirement. The IG report also found that he'd made mistakes during the Clinton probe - though it stopped short of claiming he, Page or Strzok had a political bias.

The House Oversight Committee has summoned Strozk for an appearance this week on Wednesday.

'We're going to have a lot of questions for him,' said Chairman Jim Jordan.

Jordan said Sunday on Face the Nation that Strzok will be asked about his texts with former FBI attorney Lisa Page in the context of Clinton and Russia probes, as a lead investigator on both.

'On July 31, 2016 Peter Strzok opens the Russian investigation. He was the lead agent on the investigation after being of course the lead agent on the Clinton investigation as well. He opens that investigation eight days later. There's the text message that says “We’ll stop Trump” one week after that on August 15th, is the text message that says “we have an insurance policy.” So obviously we'll want to dig into that.'

The Republican congressman said, 'We'll want to know who were you talking to at the time? how many times did you travel overseas? Did he talk to key people? For example do you think Peter Strzok may have talked to Glenn Simpson or Christopher Steele? Those are the kind of questions I think need to be asked and I'll look forward to this.'

Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British spy Christopher Steele put together the dirty dossier.

Meadows on Monday accused DOJ of aiding with a 'cover up' of FBI failures in the election based on the IG report that addressed Strzok and McCabe's behavior and that Trump has said totally exonerates him of obstruction of justice and collusion.

Of the document production, Meadows said: 'I think you're gonna find out that we're missing key components of even the text messages.'
