Sheriff David Clarke says stop it with the fake news

There could be a federal investigation into recent deaths at the Milwaukee County Jail. U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore tweeted that the U.S. Justice Department told her it's considering a pattern-practice investigation. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, whose department oversees the jail, released a statement saying, "Oh, stop it with the fake news. There will be no federal investigation of the jail. The only pattern is that I continue to support President-elect Donald Trump. After Jan. 20, Jeff Sessions will head the U.S. DOJ. Then the politics will stop." He then said this about Moore: "Moore should work on bringing jobs to black people in Milwaukee and stop embracing criminals. #MAGA." Four people have died at the county jail in the last six months. Some county supervisors are calling for Clarke to resign.
