Trump bails on interview when challenged on Michigan 'crime wave' stats: local newspaper

Donald Trump called off an interview with a local newspaper during a visit to Michigan after he was asked to verify his claims about out-of-control crime in the area, according to a new report.

The Republican presidential nominee campaigned Tuesday in Howell, where he argued that a "crime wave" attributed to his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris was occurring at levels "nobody has ever seen before," but he was unwilling or unable to cite evidence for those claims, reported The Detroit News.
