Trump Hits Clinton's 'Phony Landing' In Bosnia, Compares Her To Brian Williams

Donald Trump on Wednesday compared Hillary Clinton's account of coming under sniper fire in Bosnia to the embellishments that infamously got NBC's Brian Williams suspended from his job.

During a wide-ranging speech attacking Clinton at Trump SoHo in New York City, Trump brought up an incident where Clinton had said she "landed under sniper fire" at an air base in Bosnia during a visit as first lady.

"Most people know she's a world class liar," Trump said. "Just look at her pathetic email server statements or her phony landing—or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack, and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers."

Clinton's account was disputed by several journalists and colleagues, and during the 2008 election the former first lady and said she "may have misspoke."

Trump Tells Voters Clinton ‘Gets Rich Making You Poor’

“Hillary Clinton gave China millions of our best jobs, and effectively let China completely rebuild itself,” Trump said in a prepared speech delivered via teleprompter. “In return, Hillary Clinton got rich!”

Trump cited the conservative author and activist Peter Schweizer's book “Clinton Cash,” to which "7-8 factual corrections" were made after publication, as proof of his claims that Hillary and Bill Clinton “used the State Department to enrich their family at America’s expense.”

Trump framed his “America first” worldview as a rebuttal to the Clintons’ globalism, claiming he would promote U.S. manufacturing, oppose international trade dealsand strengthen control over America’s intellectual property.

“She sold out our workers, and our country, for Beijing,” the real estate mogul said of the former secretary of state.
