"He fired FBI Dir Comey. He tried to fire Asst FBI Dir McCabe. He wanted to fire Att Gen Sessions. He ordered the firing of Special Counsel Mueller. I could go on," Walsh tweeted.

"For a guy who says he didn't do anything wrong, why does he try to fire everyone who's investigating him?"

Walsh's comments come a day after The New York Times reported that Trump ordered his White House lawyer, Don McGahn, to fire Mueller last June. McGahn reportedly refused the order, threatening to resign from his position instead.

The president has also faced heavy criticism for his firing of Comey, especially after telling NBC's Lester Holt that the Russia investigation was a major reason for Comey's ouster.

Walsh has previously warned Trump over Twitter that attempts to combat the FBI would return to "bite you in the ass."

“President Trump, quit attacking the FBI on Twitter. It's wrong and it's gonna bite you in the ass,” Walsh tweeted last month.

“Put your phone down. No more tweets until after New Years,” he added.

Walsh, a former GOP representative, served one term in the House before losing a run in 2012 to represent the remapped Illinois 8th District against now-Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.).
