Newly released footage reveals that Donald Trump planned his incendiary comments about Mexicans coming into the United States.
In footage of a two-hour deposition that the Republican presidential nominee gave this summer in a lawsuit over restaurant space in his new Washington, D.C., hotel, Trump says he pre-planned the remarks in which he called Mexican immigrants “rapists” and criminals. He also said he didn’t run the idea by anyone prior to delivering it as part of his presidential announcement speech in June of 2015.
