President Trump on Saturday questioned why Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, as well as other intelligence and FBI officials, have not been punished for making false statements following the indictment of his longtime political adviser Roger Stone.

“If Roger Stone was indicted for lying to Congress, what about the lying done by Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Lisa Page & lover, Baker and soooo many others? What about Hillary to FBI and her 33,000 deleted Emails? What about Lisa & Peter’s deleted texts & Wiener’s laptop? Much more!” Trump tweeted.

Stone was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Thursday as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Stone was arrested at his Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home in an early-morning raid by the FBI on Friday and subsequently appeared in court.

He faces seven charges, including lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice.

A federal judge ordered him to be released on a $250,000 bond and restricted his travel to Washington, D.C., Florida, and New York.

Following the indictment, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders distanced the White House from Stone, telling CNN in an interview it had “nothing to do with” Trump.

The president frequently voices his ire at Mueller’s probe, calling it a “witch hunt” and raising questions as to why the Justice Department has not taken action against Clinton and others.
