Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump falsely claimed Sunday that he did not call for former election rival Hillary Clinton to be jailed, telling Fox News: "I didn't say 'lock her up'."

The "lock her up" chant was notorious at his rallies during the campaign and for years after, and he stated that he agreed with it or called for her jailing on multiple occasions.
