President Trump posted a Twitter response after Paul Manafort was sent to jail.
President Trump on Friday posted a tweet after a federal judge sent Paul Manafort to jail.
"Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn't know Manafort was the head of the Mob," Trump tweeted. "What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!"
According to the Washington Post, the judge ordered Manafort to jail "over charges he tampered with witnesses while out on bail — a major blow for President Trump's former campaign chairman as he awaits trial on federal conspiracy and money-laundering charges next month."
Minutes after the Manafort tweet, Trump commented on the recently released Justice Department's internal watchdog report on the FBI's actions relating to the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
"I've had to beat 17 very talented people including the Bush Dynasty, then I had to beat the Clinton Dynasty, and now I have to beat a phony Witch Hunt and all of the dishonest people covered in the IG Report...and never forget the Fake News Media. It never ends!" Trump tweeted.
And in an earlier tweet, he asserted the US economy would not have grown under Clinton.
"U.S.A. Jobs numbers are the BEST in 44 years. If my opponent (the Democrats) had won the election, they would have raised taxes substantially and increased regulations - the economy, and jobs, would have been a disaster!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
