This document consists of pages 40 and 41 from Michael Wolff's book 'Siege', marked with a House Oversight footer. The text analyzes the historical tension regarding the independence of the Department of Justice and the FBI from the White House, citing examples from the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations. It specifically highlights Donald Trump's frustration with these norms, detailing his belief that the DOJ and FBI should be under his direct personal control and his rejection of established 'custom and tradition.'
