Former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan compared President Donald Trump to Bernie Madoff, who was convicted in the largest financial fraud in U.S. history, The Hill reported.

Brennan on Friday took to Twitter:

You are to governance & politics what Bernie Madoff was to the stock market & investment advice. The two of you share a remarkably unethical ability to deceive & manipulate others, building Ponzi schemes to aggrandize yourselves. Truth & justice ultimately caught up with Bernie. https://t.co/lRKkWf3Aoh

Brennan has frequently criticized Trump. In June, he tweeted:

Your fear of exposure is palpable. Your desperation even more so. When will those of conscience among your Cabinet, inner circle, and Republican leadership realize that your unprincipled and unethical behavior as well as your incompetence are seriously damaging our Nation. https://t.co/n6ivjOYxzo

Madoff is serving 150 years in prison for running a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme, CNN reported.
