President Donald Trump will huddle behind closed doors with his attorney general today as he contemplates the source of numerous leaks from within the intel community and Department of Justice that have been hamstringing his administration.

Trump suspects that the FBI, which is under Jeff Sessions' purview at Justice, is giving classified information to reporters. He has not publicly called for an investigation but warned leakers this morning that they 'will be caught!'

He's particularly incensed about a New York Times report that relies on anonymous sourcing to accuse his campaign of having improper ties with Russia as the country was hacking people close to his opponent.

Senate Democrats on Wednesday called for Sessions to recuse himself from any executive branch investigation into the allegations being levied against Trump and his associates, before the White House released today's schedule.

President Donald Trump will huddle behind closed doors with his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, as he contemplates the source of numerous leaks that have been hamstringing his administration

Matt House, a top aide to Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, released a snippet of the listing last night and commented that the meeting 'would be a lot less suspicious' if Sessions 'followed DOJ guidelines and recused himself' from an investigation into Trump.

Schumer said Wednesday that Sessions, a senator from Alabama until he was confirmed as attorney general earlier this month, should not be involved because of potential conflicts of interest.

Justice Department regulations prohibit individuals with political ties to the subjects of an investigation from leading it, he' said.

'When the FBI looks into a matter, they do so alongside prosecutors from the Justice Department,' Schumer stated. 'Those prosecutors should not be reporting to the first senator who endorsed Donald Trump's campaign.'

Sessions was one of Trump's earliest and staunchest backers in Congress.

Republicans have continued to brush off demands from Democrats for a Watergate-style probe, insisting investigations underway by the House and Senate intelligence committees are adequate.

And nothing requires Sessions to appoint a special prosecutor. A statute mandating the use of independent counsel in certain situations was allowed to expire in 1999.

Schumer and other Democrats spoke to reporters as Trump criticized the intelligence agencies that he oversees and the media for what he described as unfair treatment of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and for 'illegally leaked' information about reported contacts between his campaign aides and Russian officials.

Flynn was forced to resign Monday following reports he misled Vice President Mike Pence about contacts with a Russian diplomat.

Late Tuesday, The New York Times reported that U.S. agencies had intercepted phone calls last year between Russian intelligence officials and members of Trump's 2016 campaign team.

A group of 11 Democrats wrote to Sessions and urged him to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate possible illegal communications between Flynn and representatives of the Russian government.

The special counsel would also examine any attempts by Flynn and other White House officials to hide any wrongdoing, they said.

The group, led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, included Sens. Richard Durbin of Illinois and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Schumer did not sign the letter to Sessions.

Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, a member of the Senate intelligence committee, recommended a streamlined approach as the best way to speed the inquiry along.

'I think sooner is better than later,' Blunt told reporters. 'And I think we can be a long way down the road in 90 days.'

Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, didn't rule out an independent probe, but said he and other lawmakers 'need to find out a lot of basic information' first about Flynn's communications and the alleged contacts involving Trump's campaign.

'Something like this always sucks the oxygen out of the room,' McCain said. 'The president's national security adviser did not tell the vice president of the United States the truth and had to be fired.

'It brings up a lot of questions and those questions need to be answered. Right now, without a national security adviser and everything else that's going on in the White House, it is dysfunctional on national security.'

Separately, Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, a Republican who represents Iowa, and the panel's top Democrat, California's Dianne Feinstein, sent a letter late Wednesday to Sessions and FBI Director James Comey seeking a briefing on Flynn's resignation the week of Feb. 27.
