House Democrats are accusing their Republican colleagues of leaking information to “fabricate conspiracy theories†in order to protect President Trump.
The accusation comes after Trump complained on Twitter that the Justice Department and FBI are doing “nothing†in response to a newly revealed text message from former FBI official Peter Strzok about a “media leak strategy†while he was part of the bureau’s Russia investigation.
Trump's tweet referred to a letter from Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., sent Monday to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Meadows' letter raised “grave concerns regarding an apparent systemic culture of media leaking by high-ranking officials at the FBI and DOJ related to ongoing investigations†after more text messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page were given to Congress.
