MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed in a new interview that he didn’t make a “lock her up” call for the imprisonment of his Democratic opponent of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton.
Trump, who faces the possibility of a prison sentence after he was convicted last week on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, was asked in an interview aired Sunday on Fox News about how he had “famously said… ‘lock her up’” in relation to Clinton but did not jail her when he was president.
Facts First: Trump’s claim that “I didn’t say ‘lock her up’” is false.
He called for Clinton’s imprisonment on multiple occasions, including by using the phrase “lock her up.”
Trump often used such rhetoric while criticizing Clinton’s email practices as secretary of state during the Obama administration, which prompted a federal investigation.
Trump also explicitly called for Clinton’s imprisonment using different phrasing.
