Podesta rips 'whack job' Trump after being targeted in tweet
By Max Greenwood - 07/07/17 11:28 AM EDT John Podesta admonished President Trump on Friday after the president targeted the former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman in a tweet during the Group of 20 summit in Germany.
Podesta called Trump a "whack job" in a series of tweets, saying he was on a road trip with his wife when he saw Trump's early morning Twitter post mentioning him.

Trump claimed earlier Friday in a tweet that Podesta and Democratic National Committee (DNC) email leaks were the talk of the G-20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany.
"Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!" Trump tweeted.
Podesta noted Friday that he had "nothing to do with the DNC." The group faced a breach last summer that led to a massive release of emails from Democratic Party officials. Emails from the then-Clinton campaign chairman were released separately, months later.
