Trump: Weiner is 'Lying'

CNN reports:

Donald Trump weighed in on "Weinergate" Wednesday, saying New York Rep. Anthony Weiner is either “incompetent” or “lying.”

“He obviously knows it’s him and the way he’s handled it is either lying or incompetent, ” Trump said on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.” “It was him because otherwise he would have said it wasn’t me … who would not know if that rather terrible position was or wasn’t taken?”

A lewd picture was sent from the Democratic lawmaker’s Twitter account to a student in Seattle, Washington last week. Weiner said his account was hacked and that he did not send the picture. The scandal remains in the spotlight while he refuses to say if the picture is him.

“Photographs can be manipulated. Photographs can be taken up from one place and put in another place. Photos can be doctored,” Weiner told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Wednesday. “It certainly doesn’t look familiar to me, but I don’t want to say with certitude to you something that I don’t now to be the certain truth.”

Trump, a public relations mastermind, said Weiner has handled the situation “horribly.”

“I think he’s made what could have been a small story into a very, very big story,” Trump said.
