CNN anchor accuses Trump camp of lying in heated exchange

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo accused GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign manager of lying about Melania Trump’s convention speech in a heated exchange on Wednesday.

Paul Manafort called on Cuomo to “move on” as he continued to deny accusations that Trump’s speech Monday night copied portions of Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

“I’m not lying about anything, Chris,” Manafort said.

Cuomo pressed him again for an answer on whether the campaign lifted parts of the first lady’s 2008 speech.

“As far as we’re concerned, there are similar words that were used, we’ve said that, but the feelings of those words and the commonality of those words do not create a situation which we feel we have to agree with you,” Manafort said.
