Washington (CNN) Self-proclaimed birther Donald Trump is now so doubtful of President Obama's birthplace that he's sent a team of his own investigators to Hawaii in hopes of getting to the bottom of the issue.
That's according to Trump himself, who, in an interview with NBC, warned his investigators just might uncover "one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond."
"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding," Trump said an interview that aired Thursday Morning.
Asked if he has assigned people specifically to search in Hawaii, Trump said, "Absolutely."
The business mogul, who in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll is tied for second place among potential presidential candidates, also suggested the president is involved in an ongoing cover-up over the matter.
"He spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if it weren't an issue, why wouldn't he just solve it?" he said. "I wish he would because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. Right now, I have real doubts."

Maybe Trump’s researchers will be able to find what Abercrombie couldn’t! LOL!
LOL!
Then wait until we find out that Holder ordered it to be done..........
If this interview was pre-taped, which I am sure it was, it is very interesting to me that NBC did not edit out a lot of what Trump is saying. What is there game in all of this? Fascinating stuff!! Love the Trump! Take down NoBama baby!!
Trump is working for Hillary. I see a previous poster beat me to this revelation.
But I say, a little less ‘PR dynamics’ and a little more personal and professional commitment to the truth ... regardless of ‘public sentiment’ (which is notoriously myopic and none to scrupulous about detail.)
How did Obama get a passport? His Saudi friends help? Does he even have a passport?
Ever notice that it seems Barack never had a girlfriend until he met Michelle?
Wow. I agree with MrB’s assessment: he already knows the answer. The Trump name rides on this. I’ll go even further and say he already knows when he will dish out the findings, and how he will do it.
I guess the Donald is in the “socialize the idea” phase to get people ready.
If proved true, I’m wondering what the secondary effects will be. I would think there would be a boatload of legal challenges to everything Obama has done: that includes all SCOTUS appointments— and those appointments would have to be recused for anything going to the court related to this.
How rapid would a move be made in order to restore legitimacy to the WH? That’s an impeachment trial on steroids.
How does the FBI go about taking over the lead, under Holder?
What a mess. I wonder if the military sits this one out? With Mullen in charge, I think they stay put.
He’s the “Jonathan S. Tuttle” of Presidents. /MASH reference
Next Donald should PUSH HARD on the Natural Born non-status of the TOTUS. The Supremes won’t listen but would love to see Donald sing it loud.
I’m getting seriously energized about a possible Donald Trump nomination. If he could convince Allen West to join his ticket that would represent one of the most formidable combinations imaginable. Two tough-as-nails street fighters, from two entirely different backgrounds, joining forces to rid our country of our foreign and domestic enemies. Splitting the ticket with West would also assuage the frustrations and uncertainties that conservatives will be sure to experience should Trump get the nomination.
Does anyone seriously think Abercrombie tried to find anything?
This was merely to shut the birthers up.
The announcements in the HI newspaper were generated by the HI state agencies once a COLB is granted. Obama’s grandparents do not need to pay for an ad, because the state will make these announcements automaticly and the newspapers will carry it. So far no one in HI gov will announce unequivically that BO long BC exists. Most of the statements were legally couched that if proven that the BC did not exist, they can still claim they did not mispeak. When the HI Dem Party submitted a statement to declare BO eligible to be the Dem candidate, they also deviated from the traditional succinct statement that BO is constitutionally eligible to run.
“I agree. I think one of two things are true: either Obama doesnt have a long-form birth certificate, or he does have it and hes holding onto it for maximal political benefit.”
If NoBama does produce a LFBC at the last minute he will have to explain why he spent all the money he did, and used the resources of the Justice Dept., to fight all of the law suits about this. I’m sure he would throw some BS against the wall to try to explain it away, but at this point I doubt much of it would stick!
My prediction: nothing will come of this.
Would love to see the military go into our White House and drag that Kenyan and his wife out following an indictment for fraud, being an illegal alien, etc.
What a great day it'd be for our Constitution . . . and can you imagine the indictments that would follow? . . . the only problem is . . . who'd do the indictments? What a mess!
