WASHINGTON ¨C President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday he might use his executive authority to intervene in a fight over internal Justice Department documents sought by House Republicans, including some related to the Russia probe.

¡°A Rigged System ¡ª They don¡¯t want to turn over Documents to Congress,¡± Trump tweeted. ¡°What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal ¡®justice?¡¯ At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved!¡±

House Republicans have criticized the Justice Department for not providing a broad cache of documents as promptly and completely as they requested. Some of the documents relate to the origins of the investigation into possible collusion between Trump¡¯s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election; others pertain to the FBI inquiry into Hillary Clinton¡¯s use of a private email server.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus has drafted a version of articles of impeachment targeting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein over the administration¡¯s reluctance to turn over the documents.

A White House official didn¡¯t immediately clarify the president¡¯s comments.

Dozens of lawmakers and staff from both parties have viewed thousands of classified department documents, the Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday.

Rosenstein said the department wants to find a balance when it comes to congressional oversight and access to internal materials.

¡°If we were to just open our doors to allow Congress to come and rummage through the files, that would be a serious infringement on the separation of powers,¡± Rosenstein said on Tuesday during an event in Washington. ¡°It might resolve a dispute today, but it would have negative repercussions in the long run, and we have a responsibility to defend the institution.¡±

The Justice Department has previously said that materials related to grand jury investigations and active sensitive law enforcement operations needs to be withheld.
