RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Hillary Clinton is invoking her religion a day after Donald Trump questioned it.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told supporters in Raleigh, North Carolina, that, "As we Methodists like to say: do all the good you can for all the people you can in all the ways you can."

That's a quote credited to John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.

On Tuesday, Trump told evangelicals at a closed-door meeting in New York that he doesn't know "anything about Hillary in terms of religion."

Today, on CBS This Morning, Trump said he didn't mean that in a negative way. The presumptive Republican nominee said he doesn't question Clinton's faith, but simply doesn't "know anything about her faith."
