Trump to Stephanopoulos: ‘You Shouldn’t Be Asking’ About Hillary
Donald Trump, a 2016 GOP contender, told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos that he shouldn't ask Trump questions about Hillary Clinton, citing the anchor's long ties with the Democratic candidate, in a new interview.
“You shouldn’t be talking to me about that, in all fairness,” Trump said when asked to weigh in on Clinton in an excerpt from an interview released Wednesday. “You shouldn’t be asking me those questions, but I don’t mind.”
Trump went on to criticize Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State.
“What Hillary’s done with the emails is incredible,” he said. “She gets a subpoena, and then, after getting the subpoena, she cancels it? She cancels everything?”
“What she did is illegal,” he added. “What she did is totally illegal. I don’t know how she gets away with it.”
Trump noted Stephanopoulos's work for former President Bill Clinton and the recent controversy over his contributions to the Clinton Foundation.
Stephanopoulos interviewed Trump on Tuesday, after the real estate mogul officially launched his presidential bid at an event in New York City’s Trump Tower. The full interview is slated to air later this week.
