“It shows not only is President Trump being transparent, he’s proving that he has nothing to hide and that this was a witch hunt. This was an effort by the FBI to take out a political opponent. It’s the type of thing you would expect in a Third World country, not in the United States,” he said during an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
