President Trump said he has the “absolute right” to do whatever he’d like with the Justice Department during an interview published Thursday.

Trump made the comments to the New York Times when he was asked whether the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails should be reopened.

“I have absolute right to do what I want to do with the Justice Department,” Trump said.

He then quickly pivoted into the special counsel investigation into his own administration over possible collusion with Russia.

“But for purposes of hopefully thinking I’m going to be treated fairly, I’ve stayed uninvolved with this particular matter,” Trump said.

Trump then cited Fox News contributor Alan Dershowitz to bolster the legality of his claims.

“I watched Alan Dershowitz the other day,” Trump continued.

“He said, No. 1, there is no collusion, No. 2, collusion is not a crime, but even if it was a crime, there was no collusion.”
