Donald Trump's campaign denied that Melania Trump intentionally plagiarized first lady Michelle Obama in a Monday night speech and claimed that the media and Hillary Clinton supporters are pushing the flap.
Two paragraphs of Melania Trump's speech matched the text of Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech word-for-word. Ex-Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Melanio Trump's speechwriter should be fired.
According to the Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, if a speechwriter of his did something, he would "probably" fire him or her, though he added "it all kind of depends on the circumstances and how it was written."
Trump is reportedly quite angry with the plagiarism claim. Donald Trump Jr. told ABC News that his father is "not thrilled" with what he called the "situation."
Melania Trump, as told to NBC, said: "I wrote it. And with as little help as possible."
