Thanks! That accords with my guess about bad staffwork. Somebody who had no information just tossed a speculation out into the blogosphere. The allegation got picked up by the campaign and passed on up to Trump. Nobody along the way bothered to find out if it was true, or even if there was evidence to support it.
At least, that’s the way it seems now. If there’s a canceled check or other smoking gun, different result.
