Why would Trump be liable? It hardly seems fair.

Trump's not accepting liability. He simply stated that he was looking into it. He may very well, upon reviewing the evidence, cut this guy loose to fight this legal battle on his own. But if Trump feels that this supporter is getting railroaded with a bum rap, then he might decide to help him out.

I think it's refreshing. In similar circumstances, most candidates would just cave to political correctness by throwing their supporter to the wolves in order to satisfy the media lynch mob. Trump's going to get the facts first.
