Speaking to presenter Emily Maitlis, the former Director of the FBI also said that while he “obviously believes” the president should be in jail, he doesn’t think “pursuing that is in the best interests of the American people”, adding Joe Biden should "consider" pardoning Donald Trump to help heal the rifts in society.
