Trump Finally Addresses Allegations His Campaign Manager Assaulted a Reporter

Donald Trump was not asked about allegations that his campaign manager assaulted a reporter during his CNN interview last night. Nor was he asked during the CNN debate tonight. Nor was he asked during the interview he did with CNN’s Chris Cuomo immediately following the debate.

But finally, Trump has addressed the allegations, and… well:
