President Donald Trump on Thursday renewed his call for the suspect in Tuesday’s terror attack in New York City to receive the death penalty.

Trump also said that while he would love to send 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov to the military prison on Guantanamo Bay, it would be much faster for him to be prosecuted through the regular justice system.
