Hillary Clinton calls Trump out for voting by mail while opposing it

Former Democratic presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed President Trump for “spreading lies” about voting by mail despite the fact that he’s cast mail-in ballots himself.

“Trump himself votes by mail but is spreading lies and making threats to prevent his fellow Americans from pursuing the same option during an epidemic,” Clinton tweeted Thursday.

“It's clear we'll have to work to protect safe access to the ballot box this fall,” she added.
The Hill reached out to the White House and Trump campaign for comment.

Clinton’s criticism followed Trump’s Wednesday threat to withhold federal funding to Michigan after its secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson (D), said all registered voters in the state would receive applications for absentee ballots in the mail this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump falsely claimed that Benson sent ballots rather than ballot applications. He also alleged the step was done “illegally.”
