Donald Trump has said he is confident Cornell University will 'do what's right' over an alleged gang rape at one of its fraternity houses. He spoke days after a New York prosecutor reopened the case and said he would present it to a grand jury.

A reporter at the White House asked on Thursday whether the Ivy League school had 'done enough to investigate'. The president said he was not across the details, telling reporters: 'Well, I don't know that much about it. But Cornell's a fine school, and I'm sure they'll do what's right.'
