WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is blaming the news media for the controversy surrounding an anti-Hillary Clinton tweet that appeared to depict the Star of David atop a pile of cash. Trump tweeted that the "Dishonest media" is trying to depict a star "as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or plain star". It's his first response since his official account tweeted — then deleted — the image Saturday.
