For the first time, Donald Trump publicly acknowledged Friday that he believes President Obama was born in the United States.
In a short statement to reporters he addressed his role in the so-called birther movement, while also pointing a finger to Hillary Clinton; he claimed that she started the president's citizenship rumors in 2008, despite the fact that no evidence has been found to support such an accusation.
