President Trump called CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell a “disgrace” for reading out the words of the man accused of trying to assassinate him over the weekend. In an email to family members, the 31-year-old suspected shooter Cole Allen wrote: “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Assuming that Allen was talking about him, Trump repeated the false claim that he had been “totally exonerated” of sexual crimes. “I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody. I’m not a paedophile,” he raged, adding: “You should be ashamed of yourself for reading that.”
