Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman fired back at President Trump on Wednesday after Trump questioned why no charges were brought against his brother, who was employed by a lobbying firm involved in the now-shuttered Mueller investigation.

John Podesta tweeted Wednesday that the Justice Department under Trump himself had cleared his brother, Tony Podesta, of wrongdoing, while taking aim at former Trump associate Roger Stone, who is due to be sentenced for seven convictions including lying to investigators.

"What happened? YOUR Justice Department closed the case because, unlike your pal Roger Stone, my brother didn't lie to Congress, intimidate a witness, and obstruct a federal investigation," Podesta wrote.

TRUMP TWEET: "Whatever happened to Hillary campaign manager Podesta’s BROTHER? Wasn’t he caught, forced to leave his firm, with BIG BAD things to happen? Why did nothing ever happen to him, only to the “other” side?"

JOHN PODESTA TWEET: "What happened? YOUR Justice Department closed the case because, unlike your pal Roger Stone, my brother didn't lie to Congress, intimidate a witness, and obstruct a federal investigation"

The fact is, John Podesta was

Aside from the fact he is old, he is just no longer required. He is old fruit just withering into nothingness on the vine

Podesta.
The very inner circle of the Fake Russia story.
Trump knows were it all started.
Unlike anyone in the Bush Family.

Wasn’t this the guy who had to run interference on election night? Basically because Hillary was having a nervous breakdown in a hotel room and couldn’t pull herself together to concede?
