3:58Now PlayingSen. Richard Blumenthal wondered if Trump may be committing treason and trying to cover his tracks. Trump did not like this. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“What we have now is really a looming constitutional crisis that is deadly serious,” Blumenthal said on CNN’s “New Day.” “Because there is an investigation ongoing.”

“Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke,” the president tweeted. “‘Richie’ devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history.”
