Jeb Bush released a new online video that calls Donald Trump "a liar" for saying in the CNN GOP debate that he never pushed Jeb Bush to approve casino gambling in Florida.
Trump defended his denial, telling CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday's "State of the Union" that while he wanted a casino approved, he never asked Bush to support it when he was governor.
"I never called Jeb Bush and I never asked Jeb Bush to approve gambling. It was too early in the process," Trump said. "Had I called him, I think he would have done it."
Trump hosted a $500,000 fundraiser for Bush in 1997 and made a $50,000 donation to the Republican Party in Florida before Bush was elected governor. Bush used the CNN GOP debate to suggest that Trump had unsuccessfully tried to buy his support for gambling in the state.
The simple fact, @realdonaldtrump donated to me and tried to get casino gambling in Florida, I said no http://t.co/Ok4xXLExuS
