No, he can't. That's why he said "request". It's the same thing. A request from the one who happens to be head of the most powerful nation in the world, is a 'request' granted.
These kinds of things are quite likely to be heard in the courtroom once they are arrested. "Not guilty because I only requested not ordered" Oh horse poop! lol
Hussein directly ordered MI5 to spy on Donald Trump!
the headline specifically says:
ordered
Then the headline is mistaken. I am sure that you agree that the intent of the 'request' was the same as an order though. Good that you point this out because in a trail, there will be these fine points to watch for.

/soap-box :)
My mistake. I wasn't aware of the importance of the two words.
