President Trump blew up in anger after learning that a top Department of Justice (DOJ) official had warned against releasing a classified memo by Republican staffers that allegedly proves an anti-Trump bias in the DOJ, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Trump was furious when he learned that Associate Attorney General Stephen Boyd had said it would be “extraordinarily reckless” to release the classified memo.
The incident took place as Trump was traveling to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month.
Sources told Bloomberg that Trump viewed Boyd’s letter warning against the release of the memo as another attempt by the DOJ and FBI to undercut him.
He also saw it as a way to block the GOP push to reveal what Trump thinks is a politically-motivated attack against him in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, according to the report.
