White House may appoint legal team to monitor Trump tweets

The White House is considering whether to appoint a legal team to police President Trump’s tweets, it was revealed on Friday.

The administration could have lawyers scrutinize Trump infamous social media posts as numerous investigations have been launched into White House officials, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The lawyer’s goal would be to avoid potential pitfalls from the president’s verbose volleys on Twitter.

Trump, a prolific tweeter, has caused controversy during his time in office after issuing unverified claims about President Obama wiretapping the Trump Tower and attacks on former FBI director James Comey.

The tweet review comes as the White House expands its legal team to deal with ongoing investigations into whether Trump officials colluded with Russia to interfere in the presidential election.

The Justice Department has named a special counsel to head one of the probes.
