A Democratic congressman accused President Donald Trump of not supporting the FBI in a Tuesday tweet.

Trump tweeted this midday Tuesday to recognize National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day:

A short time later, Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., responded by saying this:

Gallego first took office in 2015 and routinely criticizes Trump and other Republicans about a variety of issues. His accusation on Tuesday was likely in reference to the FBI's Russia investigation and Trump's repeated insistence that the probe is a witch hunt.

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day calls on citizens to express gratitude toward members of the law enforcement community.
