President Trump met with FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats in the Oval Office on Monday. The meeting came only one day after President Trump demanded via Twitter that the Justice Department probe Trump’s claims that his campaign had been surveilled. Trump has been claiming for months, without evidence, that the Obama administration spied on his campaign. Legal experts say Trump’s tweet Sunday crossed a line by applying overt presidential pressure on the Justice Department, potentially setting up a clash similar to the one between President Nixon and the Justice Department during the Watergate scandal. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked the Justice Department’s inspector general to probe the allegations of surveillance.
