Trump's fiery outburst at DOJ revealed as revenge bid axed: 'I never signed off on that!'

Summary
The Trump administration's decision to drop its bid to sanction law firms prompted the president to erupt in a fiery outburst, according to a new report. Last week, it was reported that the Trump administration was no longer enforcing a series of executive orders targeting specific law firms and imposing penalties on them. That report apparently angered President Donald Trump, who began raging at officials at the Department of Justice, according to a new Wall Street Journal report citing "people familiar with the matter."“I never signed off on that,” the Journal reported Trump saying in the Oval Office. The report was published at a time when the Trump administration is facing mounting criticism for its attempts to prosecute its political foes. Courts have removed multiple Trump prosecutors for illegally serving in their roles, which has impacted the prosecutions of people like former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, both of whom were involved in the 2016 investigation into Russia's interference in the general election. Another Trump prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D.C., has also failed to secure multiple indictments against Trump's political enemies. For instance, a grand jury refused to indict six Democratic members of Congress for posting a social media video telling military troops they don't have to follow illegal orders.
