There
is still much work to be done in special investigator Rober Muller’s
probe on Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, but Rosie
O’Donnell is ready to charge President Donald Trump for his potential
collusion with Russian enforcements.
On
Saturday, the former talk show host, who's endured a longstanding feud
with Trump, took to her Twitter to suggest that the 71-year-old should
be locked up for any involvement he may have had in Russia’s influence
over the 2016 election.
Using
the hashtag #TraitorTrump, O’Donnell wrote, “rest of your life in jail-
u sick MF,” alongside a screenshot of Trump’s Twitter, which had the
words “Traitor u r done” scribbled over it.
O’Donnell
and Trump have been engaging in Twitter wars long before he came into
office. Their feud extends back to 2006 after O’Donnell appeared on The View
criticizing Trump, then a business mogul and owner of the Miss Universe
Organization, for not firing Miss USA Tara Conner for her reported drug
use, underage drinking and sexual activities. O’Donnell, a co-host of
the ABC daytime talk show at the time, said Trump was “not a self-made
man” but a “snake-oil salesman on Little House on the Prarie” before calling him out for his several marriages.
Trump responded by telling People magazine that O’Donnell is a “real loser” and called her a “woman out of control.”
Their
verbal exchanges only continued to escalate after Trump tweeted his
thoughts on O’Donnell’s 2011 engagement to Michelle Rounds.
Not
long after Trump took the White House, the duo sparred again on
Twitter, this time regarding the firing of former FBI director James
Comey.

O’Donnell’s
latest comments come shortly after Trump’s former national security
adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty on Friday to “willfully and
knowingly making false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the
FBI regarding discussions he previously held with Russian ambassadors.
As a part of Flynn’s plea deal, Flynn promised “full cooperation” in Muller’s ongoing investigation. He also admitted
he was encouraged by a senior member of Trump’s transition team to make
contact with Russians last December. Trump’s transition team consisted
of Vice President Mike Pence as well as the president’s son-in-law Jared
Kushner and former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.
Before jetting off to New York City for a fundraiser on Saturday morning, Trump denied allegations
of collusion with Russian officials during the election, despite
Flynn’s earlier remarks at a hearing on Friday. “What has been shown is
no collusion, no collusion.”
“There’s been absolutely no collusion, so we’re very happy,” Trump added.
