VIDEO: I Am Not a Pedophile – Trump's Strong Denunciation
US President Donald Trump commented on the 'manifesto' of the shooter from one of the hotels during an interview with CBS's '60 Minutes.' The country's leader categorically denied the severe accusations found in the document, stating that they are baseless and do not correspond to reality. 'I am not a pedophile,' said the US President.
During the interview, the motives of the criminal were discussed, who had targeted administration officials in his written text. The shooter justified his actions with allegations of treachery and sexual crimes against high-ranking individuals. Addressing these quotes, Trump emphasized that such formulations have nothing to do with him.
The President criticized the media for discussing such topics, highlighting that the author of the manifesto has mental health issues. He noted that he is often attributed actions with which he has no connection, labeling such publications as attempts at manipulation against him.
The investigation into the incident is still ongoing. Law enforcement officials are examining the writings left by the shooter to clarify all details of the attack and possible other targets. The White House has not made any official statements besides the interview.
It is worth recalling that we previously reported on another statement by Trump regarding the suspect: 'He is a sick man. He hates Christians.'
