President Donald Trump clashed with “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent Norah O’Donnell during a Sunday interview after she read portions of the alleged would-be assassin’s manifesto.
Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, Calif., faces charges of using a firearm in a violent crime and assaulting a federal officer after he allegedly tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night. Trump took umbrage at Allen’s supposed characterization of him in the document, which the suspect reportedly sent to his family minutes before he exchanged gunfire with U.S. Secret Service agents.
“I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me,” Allen wrote. “And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

“Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump said after O’Donnell asked for his reaction to the manifesto. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
“Do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, with an agitated Trump responding, “I’m not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all— stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview.’”
