Blue-checks were very angry this morning over this tweet from President Trump where he said he has the legal right to get involved in DOJ criminal cases, but “have so far chosen not to!”
“The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.” A.G. Barr This doesn’t mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!
