Trump demands investigation into oil companies' failure to lower gasoline prices accordingly.

US President Trump said on the 24th that he has instructed the Justice Department to investigate the behavior of oil companies that have not correspondingly lowered gasoline retail prices with the drop in crude oil prices, accusing the companies of "price gouging" consumers. Trump said on social media that gasoline prices at gas stations remain high, and consumers are being "cheated." "I have instructed the Justice Department to immediately start an investigation." A video released by the White House later showed Trump naming ExxonMobil and Chevron.
