Obama takes jab at Trump: 'Nobody in my administration got indicted'

Former President Obama on Friday took a swipe at President Trump over those who have been caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

"They promised to take on corruption. Remember that?" Obama said while going after Trump and Republicans during a Democratic campaign event in Milwaukee, Wis.

"They have gone to Washington and just plundered away. In Washington, they have racked up enough indictments to field a football team," he said. "Nobody in my administration got indicted."

As of this month, Mueller's team has indicted or secured guilty pleas from 32 people as part of his sprawling probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Four of those people include former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign aide Richard Gates and Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
