The Secret Service is investigating comments made by New Hampshire state representative Al Baldasaro in which he said Hillary Clinton “should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.”

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation,” Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told POLITICO in an email.

Baldasaro's comments, which were first reported by BuzzFeed, came during an interview on the Jeff Kuhner Show, during which he also called Clinton “a piece of garbage.”

“She is a disgrace for the lies that she told those mothers about their children that got killed over there in Benghazi,” he said. “She dropped the ball on over 400 emails requesting back up security. Something’s wrong there.”

Baldasaro, who is a Trump delegate, has appeared at Trump campaign events and has advised him on veterans issues.
