Trump campaign calls Serbia story a hoax





Donald Trump has apologized to Serbia for the 1999 bombing campaign when Bill Clinton was president, a move that puts him in line with Russian rhetoric used to rally Serbians against the United States.

The Donald Trump campaign is denying that the Republican nominee ever apologized to Serbia over bombing done during the Bill Clinton administration.
"Mr. Trump never gave an interview to the Serbian weekly magazine Nedeljnikas as falsely reported by the discredited Newsweek, nor was such an interview conducted through our Indiana State Director. This was a hoax and we look forward to receiving a formal retraction and apology from all involved," Trump's senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement.
Earlier Thursday the Serbian weekly magazine Nedeljnik reported that Trump had apologized for the 1999 bombing campaign when Bill Clinton was president, a move that would have put him in line with Russian rhetoric used to rally Serbians against the United States.
USA TODAY had previously reported the story based off Nedelinik and Newsweek reporting.
