Donald Trump demanded Sunday morning that former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden face jail time for involvement in the Michael Flynn case.
'It was the greatest political crime in the history of our country,' Trump said of his predecessor and Biden, the presumed Democratic nominee.
'If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would have been in jail a long time ago, and I'm talking with 50 year sentences,' the president continued in an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that aired Sunday.
'It is a disgrace what's happened this is the greatest political scam, hoax in the history of our country. And people should be going to jail for this stuff and hopefully, a lot of people are going to have to pay.'

Trade adviser Peter Navarro attacks Obama for criticizing Trump's coronavirus response - calling the former president a 'press secretary' for Biden and their administration a 'kumbaya of incompetence'

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro launched an attack on Barack Obama after the former president criticized the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
During a televised commencement speech to high school seniors on Saturday, Obama charged that the 'folks in charge' of the coronavirus response don't know what they're doing - and 'a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge'.
Navarro hit back in an interview with Fox News' Judge Janine Pirro that night.
'Was that a speech or was that a political ad?' he quipped when asked about Obama's scathing remarks.
'I want to congratulate the former president on his new job as press secretary for the candidate locked in the basement. Good job.'
He went on to call the Obama-Biden administration 'a kumbaya of incompetence'.
'This was the guy, on his watch, that we saw over 50,000 factories disappear to China - didn't mention that in his speech,' he said. 'And to the American workers, it was always "let them eat arugula" - you'd have to wave a magic wand to get manufacturing back.
'Donald J Trump got half a million manufacturing jobs back. So I'm a little surprised at the former president coming out like that, but again, as Biden's press secretary he's going to do that.'
'Here is the challenge. I have two challenges,' Navarro continued. 'The dog that didn't bark in that speech - there was absolutely no mention of the role of China in this pandemic.
'I'll start counting the days that we don't hear from Joe Biden and Barack Obama on the fact that that China caused this pandemic and basically unleashed trillions of dollars of damage on this world and, to date, 80,000 Americans' lives.
'And here's another challenge: Do you any the Obama-Biden administration could have put up ventilator factory in 17 days? Do you think the Obama-Biden administration could have built two factories making N95 masks in five weeks instead of the usual nine months? I don't think so.'
Navarro then shifted to praise his boss's handling of the pandemic.
'If you move forward to what this president is going to do, this week I did see a turnaround. History will mark this week was the turn around. We got the economy back open in 48 of the 50 states. President Donald J Trump announced a strategic stockpile in his image: stronger, smarter, more resilient,' he said.
'We have a vaccine Manhattan project that is going to basically get us to a vaccine in what I call Trump time, which is as soon as possible, with a goal in December.
'These are the things along with building the best economy in the last 50 years that Barack Obama and Joe Biden couldn't have done and Joe Biden never will do in his lifetime.'
