Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has responded to the FBI’s announcement of no charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

Trump responded, as Trump does, on Twitter by calling the department’s judgement as bad.

“The system is rigged,” Trump began. “General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.”

He continued: “FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem.”

FBI Director James Comey made the announcement on Tuesday and called Clinton’s use of a private email server as careless, but said the information should not lead to charges against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Nearly two dozen of the emails pertained to “top secret” information, with some relating to the CIA’s drone program in Pakistan. The New York Times reports that this information has been widely reported.
