Dem lawmaker on Trump: ‘Lock HIM up?’
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday mocked the chant frequently used to taunt 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during last year’s campaign, tweeting “lock him up” in reference to President Trump.

Jeffries linked to New York Times article that claims Trump earlier this year asked then-FBI Director James Comey to pledge his loyalty.

The president’s critics have argued that the timing of the decision is suspicious because Comey was in charge of investigating potential ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Trump, however, maintained that he fired Comey because the public has lost confidence in the FBI director.
