Trump demands his own Justice Department not let Democratic congresswoman and her aide who is accused of bank fraud 'off the hook' as he tries to throw potential plea deal off the rails

President Donald Trump went after his Justice Department again, this time publicly intervening in a case involving an aide to a Democratic congresswoman – as the president both were getting 'off the hook.'

Trump tweeted about the case, involving a former aide to Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a day after Fox News reported the aide and his wife were poised to execute a plea deal with the government.

'Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a 'plea deal' to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!' Trump wrote.

According to a court filing on Tuesday, Imran Awan, the former IT staffer for Wasserman Schultz and other Democrats, and his wife Hina Alvi have a July 3 court hearing about the agreement.

'The parties are currently exploring a possible resolution of this matter,' according to the filing by prosecutors, Fox News reported. 'Therefore, the parties are requesting additional time in which to explore that resolution.'
