President Donald Trump threatened one of his former associates on Sunday after he saw an interview they did with ABC News earlier in the day.

Chris Christie, who advised Trump during his first term, joined the ABC News show "This Week" on Sunday to discuss recent moves the Trump administration made. At one point, Christie said Trump sees himself as "the person who gets to decide everything" and that he "rejects the idea that there should be any separation between criminal investigations and the politically elected leader of the United States."

Trump responded to Christie's claims on Truth Social on Sunday night. "I just watched Sloppy Chris Christie be interviewed on a ratings challenged “News” Show, “This Week With George Slopadopolus,” on ABC Fake News," Trump's post began.

"Can anyone believe anything that Sloppy Chris says?" Trump's post reads. "Do you remember the way he lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington Bridge in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him, including a young mother, who spent years trying to fight off the vicious charges against her."
