ABC/ Ida Mae Astute(RALEIGH, N.C.) — Donald Trump expressed disbelief at the FBI’s recommendation that the Department of Justice not pursue charges against Hillary Clinton for the use of a private email server while she served as President Obama’s secretary of state.
“I’ll tell you that we have a rigged system folks,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Trump suggested former President Bill Clinton’s meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch may have been at play in the decision not to recommend charges, although Lynch denied discussing the email controversy.
“What you witnessed today and over the last week, from Bill Clinton going to the plane, just happen to be there, just happen to be there,” Trump said Tuesday.
“I wonder how long he waited, but for Bill Clinton to go to the plane and then to have what happened today where essentially I thought everybody thought, based on what was being said, she was guilty.
“And it turned out, were not going to press charges. It’s just really amazing.”
Trump also attacked Obama for campaigning with Clinton earlier Tuesday in North Carolina: “It’s like a carnival act.”
“We have a president who’s out campaigning for ‘Crooked Hillary Clinton’ and he should be home working on ISIS, where the threat is getting worse and worse. He should be working on trade. He should be working on the border,” Trump said.
Trump argued that Clinton would be a worse president than President Obama.
“We need a president that is going to turn our country around and Obama cannot do it and Hillary Clinton will be even worse, believe me she will be even worse,” Trump said.
