JUST IN: White House releases statement on President Trump's meeting




ETA: For the twitter impaired it is an image of the statement. I will add text of it if and when I can find it.

Full Text:Statement from Press Secretary:

Based on the meeting with the President, the Department of Justice has asked the Inspector General to expand its current investigation to include any irregularities with the Federal Bureau of Investigations or the Department of Justices tactics concerning the Trump Campaign. It was also agreed that White House Chief of Staff Kelly will immediately set up a meeting with the FBI, DOJ, and DNI together with Congressional Leaders to review highly classified and other information they have requested.
