Longtime Trump confidant smears Khan family as members of the Islamic Brotherhood

While Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence was posting a Facebook statement claiming Donald Trump “cherishes” the Khan family, a close confidant and advisor to Trump was calling the grieving father a “Muslim Brotherhood agent helping Hillary.”

The link Trump friend Roger Stone tweeted goes to a conspiracy theory website, that claims Khan’s son was killed before a secret mission was finished.
