Good evening. A very busy friday night here, we begin with Donald Trumps about face. He came out today, 53 days before the election, 10 days before the crucial first debate, and changed course. This morning, teasi turning the announcement into a tv event. And the reaction has been swift. Tom llamas leading us off. Reporter today, in less than 30 seconds, donald trump abandoned the Conspiracy Theory he spent more than five years pushing so hard. President barack obama was Birther Movement. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. Reporter clinton and her campaign did no such thing. Trump today refusing to take any questions from reporters. Mr. Trump, why did it take so long . Reporter he did not explain what finally convinced him. And he did not apologize to the president. For years, the birther conspiracy was trumps signature issue. If he wasnt born in this country, which is a real possibility, then he has pulled one of the greatest cons in the history of politics. Reporter it propelled him to the forefront of american politics. I want him to show his birth certificate. Reporter in 2011, when the white house did release the birth certificate showing the reporter but one year later trump tweeted, an extremely credible source has called my office and told me that Barack Obamas birth certificate is a fraud. It was one of 67 trump tweets on the birther issue. Again, in 2014, trump still refused to accept the Conspiracy Theory had been thoroughly debunked. But he is a citizen. He produced that longform birth certificate. Well, a lot of people dont agree with you. And a lot of people feel it wasnt a proper certificate. Reporter and just this year reporter but now, the election is just 53 days away, and trump is trying to reach out to africanamerican voters. What the hell do you have to lose . Reporter in a hacked email former secretary of state colin powell writes, trump takes us for idiots. Adding, yup. The whole Birther Movement was racist. But just last night, the Washington Post posting a new interview. Trump still refusing to say whether he believes the president was born in the u. S. Mr. Trump believes president obama was born in the united states. But nothing from trump himself. This morning, a tweet. I am going to the brand new Trump International hotel d. C. For a major statement. Even on an issue so deeply personal for the president , Trump Building up the drama for his i have to, we have to keep the suspense going, okay . Reporter finally, with the press corps assembled, trump bragged about his hotel, surrounded by a collection of veterans backing him. Then he addressed the elephant in the room. President barack obama was born in the united states. Period. Now we all want to get back to making america strong and great again. Thank you. Didnt answer any of our questions, were tracking him to a fundraiser in virginia. Hey, tom. Hi, tom. Reporter are you going to now apologize to the president . Mr. Trump, are you going to now apologize to the president . After fiver years, many saying the timing couldnt be any to focus on the issues. Just tonight, he was in miami, speaking to a predominantly black audience, and he didnt mention the birther issue once. Thank you. And Michelle Obama came out and immediately took on the issue, defending her husband, and making the case for clinton. Heres cecilia vega. How you guys doing . Wow. Reporter the cheering was so wanted to say. Four more years four more years reporter but when she finally got going, she didnt hold back. There were those who questioned and continued to question for the past eight years up through this very day whether my husband was even born in this country. I think barack has answered those questions with the example he set by going high when they go low. Campaign trip for hillary clinton. The first lady saying, im with her. But today she was talking about him. Sounding like she couldnt wait to let donald trump have it. A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they get into office. Just the opposite, in fact, because the minute that individual takes that oath, they are under the hottest, harshest light there is. And there is no way to hide who and at that point its too late. Reporter today, Clintons Campaign called trumps birther statement a sickening display. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. There is no erasing it in history. Reporter it wasnt just clinton. Members of the congressional black caucus, so outraged, one after another they lined up to denounce trump. Donald trump is a disgusting fraud. This man cannot be elected. Enough is enough. And cecilia, donald trump made it clear, the president was born here, period. The words he used. Reporter theyre calling him the birther in chief. Clinton campaign aides, saying donald trump is not fit to be president. And president obama weighing in on Donald Trumps birther campaign, and his concession today. There was this question from jonathan karl. Reporter donald trump now finally acknowledging yes, you were born in america. Your reaction . I have no reaction, and im shocked that a question like when weve got so many other things to do. Im not that shocked, actually. Its fairly typical. We have other business to attend to. I was pretty confident about where i was born. I think most people were as well. And my hope would be that the president ial election reflects more serious issues than that. In chicago.
