President Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to blast Hillary Clinton's earlier comments in which she blamed misogyny, the FBI, Russia and herself for her 2016 election loss.

Clinton reflected Tuesday on the presidential contest during the Women for Women International's annual luncheon in New York.   

The former Democratic presidential nominee said she was "on the way to winning" until a combination of events in the final days. She cited the FBI director's letter to Congress resurrecting questions about her email practices and WikiLeaks' repeated release of her campaign's internal emails that "scared off" people. She also said misogyny "played a role in this election," won by Republican Donald Trump. She conceded she made mistakes but said, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."

In a tweet late Tuesday night, Trump said FBI Director Jim Comey was "the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds."

He also wrote that "the phony Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election."
