Speaking on the never-ending campaign trail for his insatiable ego, Donald Trump today called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to harness the full power of the Justice Department to go after whoever wrote the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times that said all those mean things about him.
Trump also threatened to pull NBC's license, strengthen libel laws, and sue Michael Wolff's publisher.
Common thread: none of that happened. https://t.co/96fAxY7v1U

Unlike actual leaks to the press that DOJ has investigated in the past, the op-ed doesn't seem to raise any of those national security concerns https://t.co/Hqj5uScBFA

.@realDonaldTrump tells reporters he would submit to an interview with Mueller under certain circumstances but considers it a big waste of time & does not want to be caught in a perjury trap, per @steveholland1

We cannot have unelected, hidden people secretly choosing our government policies.
It is literally the only thing worse than having Trump as president.

Kellyanne Conway to me two hours ago when asked if they have a list of suspects for who wrote the NY Times Op-Ed: “Why are you so obsessed with that?” https://t.co/qpI4oBtHAZ
