Politics President Trump tried to distance himself from the "send her back" chats that broke out during his rally this week in North Carolina. The President claimed he tried to stop the chat, but video shows otherwise. As the crowd begins the chant, Trump waits 13 seconds -- and appears to let it gain momentum -- before resuming his speech. US Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Democrat targeted by the chant, was greeted by a cheering crowd in Minneapolis as she returned to her home district for a town hall on health care. She said Trump is "threatened because we are inspiring people to dream." Meanwhile, newly released FBI search warrants show Trump was very much involved late in the 2016 race in the hush money scheme to hide his alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels and contain the fallout from related news stories. The documents mark the first time authorities have identified Trump by name and alleged his involvement at key steps in the scheme. Trump has publicly denied the affair and making the payments. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, facilitated the payments and ended up pleading guilty to two campaign finance crimes, among others; he's serving three years in prison. The US attorney's office in the Southern District of New York has said it has closed its investigation into the matter, and CNN previously reported that no one from the Trump Organization would be charged. |
