President Donald Trump ripped into the "witch hunt" investigations into his activities and noted that if a Democrat was president, those behind the probes would be in prison for "treason."

His comments came in a pair of Thursday morning tweets.

The president wrote: "A lot of very good people were taken down by a small group of Dirty (Filthy) Cops, politicians, government officials, and an investigation that was illegally started & that SPIED on my campaign. The Witch Hunt is sputtering badly, but still going on (Ukraine Hoax!). If this had happened to a Presidential candidate, or President, who was a Democrat, everybody involved would long ago be in jail for treason (and more), and it would be considered the CRIME OF THE CENTURY, far bigger and more sinister than Watergate!"
