President Donald Trump has launched a direct attack on CBS's 60 Minutes and correspondent Norah O'Donnell after being read a quote from the manifesto of Cole Thomas Allen, the gunman in the White House Correspondents' Dinner attack. In a video statement, Trump vehemently denied the allegations, stating, 'I am not a rapist. I have not raped anyone. I am not a pedophile either. I have been completely exonerated.' He accused the program of airing a disgraceful line from the shooter's statement and deflected by claiming Democrats have been associated with figures like Jeffrey Epstein. The president's comments continue his pattern of responding forcefully to the shooter's political motivations while attacking media outlets that report on them.
