Ex-president Donald Trump told a cold-blooded joke about the widow of a rallygoer killed by a would-be assassin to a group of megadonors, a leaked audio tape revealed.
In the 12-minute clip obtained by the Guardian, Trump recalled his efforts to raise funds for three victims shot during a failed assassination attempt at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally this summer. The audio, leaked from an August fundraising dinner in Aspen, Colorado, finds the former president riffing on the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed at the event, and downplaying the damage.
