Trump has doubts on Hillary's religious faith

Denounces her $42 million war chest as ‘blood money’

Washington, June 22: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has questioned his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s commitment to her Christian faith, saying that little is known about her spiritual life even though she has been in the public eye for decades.

“We don’t know anything about Hillary in terms of religion,” Trump told a group of evangelical leaders.

A video of the meeting was posted on social media.

“Now, she’s been in the public eye for years and years, and yet there’s nothing out there,” he said.

“There’s like nothing out there. It’s going to be an extension of Obama but it’s going to be worse, because with Obama you had your guard up. With Hillary you don’t, and it’s going to be worse,” 70year-old Trump said.

In response to Trump’s remarks, the Clinton campaign released a statement by evangelical leader Deborah Fikes, who has served as an Executive Advisor to the World Evangelical Association. “Hillary Clinton is the leader who people of faith are looking for,” Fikes said.

Trump went on a blistering offensive against Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, calling her disqualified to run for president and savaging her record on trade, foreign policy, human rights and immigration.

The billionaire Republican candidate for president, who has denounced Clinton’s $42 million war chest as “blood money,” sharpened his attacks on the polarizing Democratic nominee after disastrous headlines have fueled speculation that his controversial campaign is unravelling.

“Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency,” he said in a speech at Trump SoHo, his five-star hotel in Manhattan.
