President Donald Trump is prepared to demand that the Department of Justice investigate whether the Obama administration surveilled his 2016 presidential campaign for political purposes.
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

This could get interesting.
A presidential order to investigate the FBI’s secret source, which forces a showdown with DOJ. If DOJ does not comply order, things could get very, very messy. https://t.co/hVtdnkV8sv

Knowing the tenuous relationship that this president has had with his own Department of Justice, anything could (and is likely to) happen.
