Trump retweets top InfoWars editor

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday retweeted a post from a top InfoWars editor disputing a sexual assault claim made against Trump.
{mosads}”@PrisonPlanet: Trump accuser praised him in an email as recently as April! This is all yet another hoax,” Trump tweeted, retweeting Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars’s editor-at-large.
The tweet linked to an article from The Daily Caller that said one of the women who had come forward to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct had sent a “glowing email” about the GOP nominee to his assistant in April.

The article was about Summer Zervos, a former “Apprentice” contestant, who accused Trump of groping her in the past.
Trump and his campaign have denied the claims made against him.
The campaign released a statement from Zervos’s cousin, John Barry, who said she had always spoken fondly of Trump and that he thinks Zervos “wishes she could still be on reality TV.”
Trump’s retweet of the InfoWars editor comes a day after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign put out a new video attacking Trump for his ties to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
The spot strings together a clip of Trump appearing on Jones’s show, hosted by his website, InfoWars, saying: “I will not let you down. You will be very, very impressed, I hope, and I think we’ll be speaking a lot.”
It shows a series of clips of Jones saying the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a hoax and 9/11 was an inside job.
