The Council of American-Islamic Relations slammed President Trump Tuesday for implying in a tweet that top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin should be jailed for her reckless handling of classified materials.
The Muslim civil rights group said Trump is attempting to use the Justice Department to shut down his opponents.
“Calling for the imprisonment of political rivals is a clear attempt by President Trump to further politicize the Department of Justice,” said CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. “Every American who values the constitutional guarantee of due process should be outraged by the president’s statements.”
