WASHINGTON — White nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, who met with former President Donald Trump last Tuesday at his Mar-a-Largo estate (brought there by the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, under fire for his own antisemitic statements), was raised in suburban Chicago.

Trump, who launched a re-election bid a week before the Nov. 22 dinner, would go on to claim in statements that he did not know who Fuentes was. He never expressed, as the week progressed, any regrets about the meeting.
