Trump refuses to condemn Nick Fuentes

According to reporting from the Guardian's Hugo Lowell, Donald Trump has no immediate plans to condemn white nationalist Nick Fuentes as part of an effort to douse the firestorm he created after having dinner at Mar-a-Lago with the infamous anti-Semite and Holocaust denier.

While some Trump allies have fanned out to try explain away the dinner meeting by saying the former president didn't know who he was sitting down with — which is itself a questionable claim — Trump himself is reportedly refusing to go on the record and admit that he was wrong despite pleas from allies and aides.
