President Trump early Friday morning lashed out at Department of Justice (DOJ) leaders, as top officials continue to advise the president not to release a confidential memo accusing the DOJ and FBI of abusing their power.

“The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans – something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people!” Trump tweeted early Friday.

Trump has frequently clashed with the FBI as the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election continues.

However, his Friday morning tweet strikes a new tone, by emphasizing that his frustrations are only with top officials at the DOJ and FBI, not “rank and file” employees.
