WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the hands-off approach he has taken to the U.S. Justice Department given the probe into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia could change.

"Because of the fact that they have this witch hunt going on with people in the Justice Department that shouldn't be there, they have a witch hunt against the president of the United States going on, I've taken the position - and I don't have to take this position and maybe I'll change - that I will not be involved with the Justice Department," Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel.
