ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declined to correct a questioner who said President Barack Obama is Muslim.

Trump was holding a town hall event Thursday evening in New Hampshire. His first question came from a man who raised concerns about terrorist training camps on American soil.

The man said: “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims.”

He then said Obama is a Muslim and said he’s not American.

Trump did not dispute the man’s assertions. He said that he would be looking into the issue and plenty of other things.
