Let’s be very clear about what this is: President Trump once again trying to bully federal prosecutors into targeting his political adversaries rather than upholding the law. 
In 2017, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions bowed to political pressure from Trump and appointed Huber to investigate matters relating to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. americanoversight.org/sessions-letter
What was Huber supposedly investigating? A series of unproven allegations related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that have gained popularity in right wing circles.
Contrary to Trump’s latest tweet, Huber actually worked closely with senior Justice Department officials throughout his investigation. We uncovered records showing more than two dozen meetings or calls between Huber and top DOJ leaders. americanoversight.org/document/doj-r…
Huber’s investigation ended earlier this year after finding nothing of consequence. Trump is again making it clear that he wants federal law enforcement to prosecute his enemies — and protect his friends — regardless of what the law says.
We’ve been investigating Trump’s politicization of the Justice Department since 2017. You can track our work, see the FOIA requests and lawsuits we’ve filed, and read the records we’ve uncovered here: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
