President Donald Trump gave a heated interview to CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell just 24 hours after the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting at the Hilton. The interview, recorded at the White House, quickly turned tense when O’Donnell read from the alleged gunman’s manifesto, which contained disturbing claims about Trump.
According to Politico, Trump immediately pushed back after O’Donnell read the manifesto. “I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump said. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.” When O’Donnell tried to ask whether Trump believed the gunman was referring to him, the president moved past the question without answering.
