bill: coen is denying anything was done incorrectly. he says that donald trump could pay for the so-called testing the waters trip out of his own pocket. martha: a muslim civil rights group says they will publicly challenge muslim radicalization hearings that kickoff this thursday on capital hill. we ve spoken about them in detail over the course of this week. cair says that the organizers, house homeland security chairman congressman peter king is spreading, quote, misinformation. the new york republican says that that is not his purpose at all. listen to what he said. the main goal is to show the extensive radicalization within the muslim-american community, how dangerous and serious that it, and also how it happens and whether or not the muslim community responds to that, whether or not they cooperate with law enforcement. i will have witnesses there to show that this is a real threat, it s a growing threat, and it s not just me saying this, the attorney general eric holder says h
