On Sunday, Trump posted a tweet stating that he is demanding the Justice Department take a close look at the DOJ and FBI. He wants to know if they surveilled his presidential campaign. And if they did, he additionally wants to know whether the Obama administration requested them to do so.
With this move, Trump is now just one of a few Presidents who have applied Presidential pressure on the DOJ and demanded an investigation into their campaign.
Also, Republicans in the House have called for a second special counsel. This commission will look into whether the FBI and DOJ abused their powers in the case.
