 The flurry of Wednesday morning tweets came after Trump overnight hit Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his criticism.

 Schumer told reporters Tuesday evening that he had a phone conversation with the president prior to Comey's firing, and told Trump that he is "making a big mistake."

 Schumer questioned the timing of the firing and asked whether investigations into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia were "getting too close for the president."
