President Donald Trump suggested on Sunday that, during a controversial tarmac meeting in 2016, former President Bill Clinton offered then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch a seat on the Supreme Court in exchange for her leniency in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Trump tweeted his question hours before ABC aired an interview with former FBI Director James Comey, who said that he was worried when Lynch asked him to call the Clinton email investigation “a matter” in alignment with the Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
