Former Attorney General Eric Holder lashed out at Donald Trump Sunday, slamming him as "dangerous" for calling for a White House-directed special prosecutor over Hillary Clinton's emails and for threatening to jail Clinton if he is elected.

"So @realDonaldTrump will ORDER his AG to take certain actions-When Nixon tried that his AG courageously resigned. Trump is dangerous/unfit," Holder wrote in one of three tweets slamming Trump over the issue.

Holder was reacting to Trump's statement that he would order his attorney general to name a special prosecutor to go after Clinton's use of a private email server found to have contained highly classified information.
