Speaking to voters Sunday in Iowa, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said by 2020, President Trump might not be on the ballot — because he'll be behind bars.

Warren is one of several Democrats running for president, and during an event at the Veterans Memorial Building in Cedar Rapids, she said next year, "Donald Trump may not even be president. In fact, he may not even be a free person." Speaking to reporters later, Warren asked, "How many investigations are there now? It's no longer just the [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller investigation. They're everywhere and these are serious investigations, so we'll see what happens."
