Further evidence of the strife, according to former Justice Department spokesman and Trump supporter Mark Corallo, came on Tuesday. A mostly dormant Twitter account operated by the agency publicized records on Tuesday related to Bill Clinton's 2001 presidential pardon of hedge fund manager Marc Rich on his last day in office.

Hillary Clinton's campaign and other observers jumped on the tweet, questioning whether it was appropriate for the FBI to begin releasing documents related to Bill Clinton one week before the presidential election.

"The Marc Rich tweet is evidence of open warfare between the Justice Department and the FBI," Corallo told Bloomberg, saying that it may have some FBI field agents' way of further undermining confidence in the way the agency's leaders have handled the Clinton investigations.

Two days earlier, the account shared documents related to Fred Trump, Donald Trump's father, calling him "a real estate developer and philanthropist." That release was also condemned by some political observers who felt it unfairly omitted information about allegations of racial bias that plagued Trump's real-estate company in the 1970s.
