Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump retweeted an InfoWars editor calling one of the sexual assault claims against him "yet another hoax."
The tweet included a link to an article from The Daily Caller about an email from former "Apprentice" star Summer Zervos, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Trump.
"I am in a unique situation being that I am the only former Apprentice who operates a business where Mr. Trump's supporters can walk in, express their admiration for him and inquire about my experience," reads the email, provided by Zervos' cousin John Barry. "Mr. Trump has a great deal of support in Huntington Beach, Ca!"
"We hire a diverse crew and embrace anyone who is honest while working hard. Mr. Trump is cut from the same cloth. I would greatly appreciate reconnecting at this time. He will know my intentions are genuine," Zervos said.
The former contestant acknowledged the email in a press conference on Friday.
"I contacted his secretary in April, 2016 and asked if I could reconnect with Mr. Trump. I didn't tell her why I wanted to speak with him," she said, the Caller reports.
"I am completely shocked and bewildered by my cousin, Summer Zervos, and her press conference today. Ever since she was on The Apprentice she has had nothing but glowing things to say about Mr. Trump," Barry said in the statement, according to the Caller. "That was until Summer invited Mr. Trump to her restaurant during the primary and he said no. I think Summer wishes she could still be on reality TV, and in an effort to get that back she's saying all of these negative things about Mr. Trump."
