Although the inspector general report did not identify the official, sources at both former FBI and Justice Department officials identified him as Matthew Axelrod, who was the principal associate deputy attorney general .

Well, this is the first time I've heard this scumbag was high up in the DOJ. But don't worry. He's nothing like his brother. Just ask him.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod slammed President Trump on Saturday for his claim that the former president ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower last year, calling Trump’s claim an effort to distract from his own scrutiny.

“This seems ‘nutts.’ Frantic way in which @realDonaldTrump is kicking up dust only adds to suspicions and the need for full public reckoning,” Axelrod wrote on Twitter.

The former Obama strategist was responding to a series of tweets Trump posted Saturday morning alleging that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phone lines during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump did not provide any evidence to back up his claims, and an Obama spokesman called them false. The spokesman said that no White House official ordered the surveillance of any American, let alone Trump.
Axelrod, a Democratic strategist, seemed to suggest Saturday that Trump was seeking to distract from reports about his aides’ communications with Russian officials and probes about potential Russian ties.

Axelrod went on to note that many Democrats had pushed the Obama administration to disclose more during Trump’s campaign, adding that such a wiretap would have been approved by a court “for a reason.”

Trump’s bombshell allegation Saturday comes as his young administration faces renewed questions about his aides and allies’ potential ties to Russia.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday recused himself from any federal investigation into Russian intervention in the election after it was revealed he twice spoke with Russia’s ambassador during the campaign last year, something he did not disclose during his Senate confirmation hearings in January.
