'Herschel Walker is being slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the Democrats': Trump throws his full weight behind candidate as abortion scandal rocks his Senate bid
Former President
Donald Trump came out in defense of Herschel Walker after a bombshell report detailed the Georgia
Senate candidate's payment to his ex-girlfriend for an abortion.
'Herschel Walker is being slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the
Democrats,' Trump said in a statement. 'Interestingly, I've heard many horrible things about his opponent, Raphael Warnock, things that nobody should be talking about, so we don't. Herschel has properly denied the charges against him, and I have no doubt he is correct.'
The Daily Beast reported Monday evening that in 2009 Walker provided the woman he was dating at the time $700 to pay for an abortion procedure and a get well card.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, reportedly provided the Daily Beast with a bank deposit receipt for the payment from Walker and a receipt from the $575 procedure.
