Trump repeats Charlottesville conspiracy on 60 Minutes

President Donald Trump has repeated and expanded his conspiracy theory about the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. During an interview on 60 Minutes, he claimed the event was "all funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center" and was orchestrated to damage his image. He challenged the program to produce an episode investigating the civil rights organization. This marks a new iteration of his long-standing claim that the violent rally, which he initially said included "very fine people," was a setup by his political opponents.
