His response? Well, first, he said he hasn’t “heard the name in so long” before adding that he’d have the Department of Justice “take a look at it.” He further denied that he was considering it, or that he wasn’t considering it.

Well, she was pretty provably convicted of her crimes — but at least he’s looking out for an old friend.

COLLINS: She's… pic.twitter.com/CnQ6XrezQY
