US President Donald Trump has denied knowing about a racist video clip that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which he shared on his Truth Social account before it was removed. The 62-second video included claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election and was set to the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. Trump said he only saw the beginning of the video before posting it and didn’t know it contained the racist content. However, Republican Senator Tim Scott described it as “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House”, while other lawmakers criticized Trump for his response to the incident.
