President Donald Trump praised Ted Nugent as 'a friend of mine' at a campaign rally in Wichita, Kansas, according to the supplied report. His comments came years after the rocker's 1998 VH1 interview, in which Nugent reportedly admitted to having relations with underage girls and described himself as 'addicted to girls.'

Trump was campaigning for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who was facing Democratic pastor Adam Hamilton in what the report describes as an unexpectedly tight Senate contest. Nugent, identified in the account as 77, spoke shortly before the president and urged the audience to vote for Marshall.
