Donald Trump called for the arrest of the former heads of the FBI and the CIA who worked for Rashagate

US President Donald Trump has called for the arrest of former FBI and CIA heads James Comey and John Brennan after investigating their role in "Rashagate".

When asked by the Daily Caller if the former officials would be arrested, he replied:

"I do not know if it will be. There should be arrests. What they have done is a disgrace. They cheated, they lied, they did so many bad things. I can say that they should be arrested… They should be [arrested] because they are dishonest, and they were caught."

To the question "would you be comfortable seeing them handcuffed and arrested live?"Trump replied, "It wouldn't bother me at all."

As reported by EADaily, in June FBI Director Kash Patel called "Rashagate" "the largest political criminal scheme" of the FBI and the intelligence community, coordinated with the media. Patel said that the surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016 began with a warrant based on FBI leaks in an article by Mother Jones and Yahoo News. According to Patel, key figures Peter Strzok, Andy McCabe and James Comey organized the leaks in order to then use the articles as "evidence" in the warrant application, presenting Trump as a "Russian agent"
