Donald Trump on Friday called on President Barack Obama to vow not to pardon Hillary Clinton for "crimes against our country," and also demanded the former secretary of state wouldn’t allow the five people granted immunity by the FBI during its investigation into her private email server to work in her administration.

“Here’s my question to Hillary Clinton,” Trump said at a rally in Novi, Michigan. “Can you promise that not one of the five people who were granted criminal immunity will ever be allowed to serve in a Clinton administration if that ever happens? Oh, would that be bad. Let’s see what happens.”


“And here’s a demand I’m making today to President Obama,” Trump added. “Mr. President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself? Will you make that pledge? No one is above the law.”

After a yearlong investigation, FBI Director James Comey noted in July that Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information” but ultimately recommended that the Justice Department not charge the Democratic nominee.

Even so, Trump continued his attack on Clinton over the email saga that has dogged her campaign, stemming from her use of a private email server while she led the State Department.

“Clinton and her cronies will say anything, do anything, lie about anything to keep their grip on power, to keep their control over our country,” Trump said, urging supporters to remember that former President Bill Clinton “pardoned a fugitive” in Marc Rich, who illegally traded with U.S. adversaries and was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

“And this was a serious fugitive — Marc Rich — in exchange for unknown and undisclosed amounts of money,” Trump recalled. “You remember that? Marc Rich. Famous Mark Rich. People couldn’t believe it. The American people have had it with years or decades of Clinton corruption and scandals. Always the same thing. Whitewater, the cattle — remember the cattle? I think she had the greatest return on a cattle investment in the history of the cattle world. Guys that did it all their lives, they said, ‘Wow, she must know a lot about cattle.’”
