the documentation of Pres. Trump's pressure is a vox article and Pres. Trump tweets.

45. Upon information and belief, President Trump directly and indirectly pressured FBI Director Wray and then-Attorney General Sessions to fire Special Agent Strzok when his text messages critical of the President were first disclosed. That pressure was recounted in contemporaneous news reports:

President Donald Trump sharply questioned Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray during a White House meeting on January 22 about why two senior FBI officials — Peter Strzok and Lisa Page — were still in their jobs despite allegations made by allies of the [P]resident that they had been disloyal to him and had unfairly targeted him and his administration, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The [P]resident also pressed his [A]ttorney [G]eneral and FBI [D]irector to work more aggressively to uncover derogatory information within the FBI’s files to turn over to congressional Republicans working to discredit the two FBI officials, according to the same sources. The very next day, Trump met Sessions again, this time without Wray present, and even more aggressively advocated that Strzok and Page be fired, the sources said.
