On Sunday's 60 Minutes on CBS, Trump sat down for an interview with Norah O'Donnell to discuss the incident that had happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, Administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this, I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? TRUMP: Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you? TRUMP: Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably... I read the manifesto, you know, as a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself for reading that because I'm not any of those things. O'DONNELL: Mr. President, these are the gunman's words. read more
