President Trump slammed Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal on Wednesday for saying incorrectly that he served in the Vietnam War, after Blumenthal criticized his firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Blumenthal appeared on MSNBC and CNN Wednesday to repeat his calls for a special prosecutor to investigate any connections between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government. The senator said several times in public that he served in Vietnam, but military records uncovered by the New York Times showed he never went to war.
