President Trump pressures Justice Department to investigate ‘Crooked Hillary’

President Donald Trump on Nov 3 pressured the Department of Justice — and specifically the FBI — to investigate Hillary Clinton, ticking through a slew of issues involving the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and her party, and urging law enforcement to “do what is right and proper.” President Trump's advocacy for criminal probe of his political opponent marked a significant breach of the traditional boundaries within the executive branch designed to prevent investigations from being politicized. In a series of Friday morning tweets, President Trump claimed there was mounting public pressure for the Justice Department to investigate Clinton. President Trump suggested law enforcement reopen its probe of the deleted e-mails from Clinton's private server while she was secretary of state, as well as a Russian uranium sale and the international business of Democratic super-lobbyist Tony Podesta.
