Hillary Clinton blasts Trump's legal woes amid 'lock him up' chants in DNC speech: 'Only cares about himself'

CHICAGO - Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night where she praised the accomplishments of VP Kamala Harris and highlighted the legal issues of former President Donald Trump.

"She will fight to lower costs for hard-working families, open the doors wide for good-paying jobs and yes, she will restore abortion rights nationwide," Clinton told the crowd at the United Center. "As a prosecutor, Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety. Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial. And when he woke up, he made his own kind of history. The first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions."

The crowd began chanting "lock him up" in reference to the chants of "lock her up" that often erupted at Trump rallies when he was running against Clinton in 2016 and criticizing her over allegations of corruption and improper handling of classified documents.

Clinton could seen smiling and nodding as the chants continued.

"Just look at the candidates," Clinton said. "Kamala cares. Cares about kids and families. Cares about America. Donald only cares about himself."

Earlier in the evening New York Gov. Kathy Hochul provoked a few cheers from the crowd by quipping that "Trump hasn't spent much time in New York lately, except that is to get convicted of 34 felonies. And that's just fine with us."

For her part, Clinton touted Harris' political resume as a prosecutor in California.
