Donald Trump "
This Week" Abc FULL
Interview. After the
National Enquirer ran a report with wild allegations about
Ted Cruz‘s supposed infidelity,
Cruz accused
Donald Trump‘s campaign of potential involvement.
Trump today called that allegation “disgraceful.” On
ABC, This Week guest host Jon
Karl asked Trump if his campaign or anyone connected to it was in any way involved with the story. Trump said no one did and he lashed out at Cruz for blaming him when, he said, “I have no control over the National Enquirer.” Reports in the past few days have noted Trump’s close relationship with
David Pecker, who runs the Enquirer. Karl asked Trump if he would condemn the story. Trump said, “
I don’t care, I mean, really, I don’t care… I have no idea whether it was right or not. They actually have a very good record of being right… I hope it’s not right.”

Republican presidential candidate
Donald J. Trump on Sunday insisted that he had no connection to a National Enquirer report suggesting that
Sen. Ted Cruz (
R-TX) had affairs with multiple women, but noted that the tabloid had a “very good record of being right.” During an interview with
ABC News, Trump insisted that his threat to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife,
Heidi, only came after the
Texas senator “started it” by attacking his wife, Melania. “The campaign has nothing to do with it,” Trump said of the National Enquirer story. “I have no control over the National Enquirer. I didn’t even know about the story, I just got it last night.” “
The National Enquirer did a story, it wasn’t my story,” he added. “It was about Ted Cruz. I have no idea whether it was right or not. They actually have a very good record of being right.” According to Trump, Cruz’s campaign had provided a near-nude photograph of Melania to group which used it in anti-Trump ads. But the billionaire declined to say what he meant by his threat to “spill the beans” on
Heidi Cruz. “There are things about Heidi that I don’t want to talk about,” Trump opined. “I’m not going to talk about them. I mean, you know, you could look, but I wouldn’t talk about them.” “I’m just responding to what he does, I just respond, I counter-punch,” he argued. “But always the press likes to make me the bad guy. He’s the one that started it.”
ABC’s This Week this morning, guest host Jon Karl confronted Donald Trump over his threat and nasty retweet at Heidi Cruz. Karl brought up the ad featuring a
Melania Trump nude photo. And despite the fact it was sent out by a
Super PAC unaffiliated with the Cruz campaign, Trump is convinced Cruz was behind it. Karl then asked Trump about threatening to “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz. Trump very vaguely said, “There are things about Heidi that I don’t want to talk about.”
And then there was the nasty retweet insulting her looks. Trump dismissed that as “a retweet that somebody said to me” and lamented how the media always tries to make him the bad guy.
