Trump commented on the scandal associated with a possible attempt by the US Democratic Party to obstruct his election to the presidency by accusing him of links with Russia. In his tweet, he mentioned the version of the Ministry of Justice and the FBI’s conspiracy against him.
“Seems like the Department of Justice (and FBI) had a program to keep Donald Trump from becoming President”. @DarrellIssa @foxandfriends If this had happened to the other side, everybody involved would be in jail. This is a Media coverup of the biggest story of our time.

Donald Trump on his Twitter cited the words of Congressman Darell Issa, who suggested the existence of a “program” of the FBI and the US Justice Department, aimed at preventing him from being elected president. According to Trump, if accusations of conspiracy were heard in his address, his supporters could already be in custody.
“Seems like the Department of Justice (and FBI) had a program to keep Donald Trump from becoming President”. @DarrellIssa @foxandfriends If this had happened to the other side, everybody involved would be in jail. This is a Media coverup of the biggest story of our time.
At the same time, Trump again expressed his claims to the American media, accusing them of hiding the “largest history of our time.”
Rep. Darell Issa, a member of the House of Representatives, commented on statements made by White House officials who pointed to attempts by some US officials, including the US Justice Department, to influence the outcome of the 2016 election in favor of Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton. So, this was stated by Counsel Trump Kellynn Conway on CBS.
“The president has every right to wonder why in those cases when there seems to be a heinous activity, people do not want to conduct an investigation. They do not want to investigate the actions of the loser , “she explained the White House’s position.
Argumenting the version of the attempts to influence Clinton’s election, Conway indicated that the wife of Bruce Ora, an assistant to the US deputy prosecutor’s office (Trump’s adviser calls him “the fourth person” in the Ministry of Justice), worked for Fusion GPS – this company cooperated with the ex agent of British intelligence Christopher Steele to create a “Trump file”, telling about the connections of a billionaire with Russia.
This file became one of the cornerstones in the investigation of Russian interference in the elections in the United States.
Trump repeatedly criticized the FBI, which is structurally part of the Ministry of Justice. On Saturday, in one of his tweets, he insulted the ex-head of the service, James Komi and his subordinates, calling them “losers” and “clowns.”
