Romney camp mum on Trump's latest birther comments
By Caroline Horn



(CBS News) Mitt Romney's campaign declined to say Friday if it was appropriate for the presumptive Republican nominee to use Donald Trump as a top surrogate as the reality television host continues to insist President Obama was not born in the United States.

Romney is scheduled to appear at a Las Vegas fundraiser Tuesday with Trump, who made headlines last year with his "investigation" of Mr. Obama's birth certificate.

In an effort to put persistent questions about his background to rest, the White House in 2011 released Mr. Obama's long-form birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii in 1961.

In a new interview, Trump pointed to a recent report that Mr. Obama's literary agency listed him in a 1991 booklet as having been born in Kenya.

1. Breaking: Rumpney gathering focus group to tell him what to do.

Hopefully they'll make a better call than Wrongney's "let Detroit go bankrupt" or his "I wouldn't go after Osama" calls.
