Thursday morning began with tweets on the topic. First, Trump targeted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who announced Wednesday that the committee would investigate alleged financial crimes involving Trump's businesses. The message accused Schiff of "Unprecedented Presidential Harassment," which had "never happened before."
Trump returned to Twitter less than two hours later and repeated the mantra: "PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT! It should never be allowed to happen again!"
Trump's tone implies wrongdoing, but what he calls "presidential harassment" is known to most as "congressional oversight," an integral part of the United States' system of checks and balances.
