President Trump reportedly went into a rage aboard Air Force One on the way to Davos last week, after he learned that a Department of Justice official authored a letter warning against publishing a Republican memo that allegedly contains damaging info on the FBI’s Russia probe, Bloomberg News reported Monday. The memo, written by House Republican staff, reportedly describes alleged misconduct by FBI officials investigating the Trump campaign. In a letter to the House Intelligence Committee last week, Associate Attorney General Stephen Boyd said the memo's release would be “extraordinarily reckless.” Trump reportedly viewed the letter as interference by his Justice Department, which he appears to believe should represent only his interests.
