Now he says his opponent, Hillary Clinton, was behind the so-called birther movement.

And for the second time in the presidential campaign, Trump is again raising the specter of violence against Clinton, this time joking about disarming her Secret Service agents.

CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett reports that after enjoying a rise in the polls and a week in which he stuck mostly to the script, it seems Trump is back to the flash-bang style of politics his supporters have come to enjoy.

But there was blowback on Saturday after the Republican nominee made another ad-libbed reference to violence and reignited controversy with a popular sitting president.

I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons, they should disarm, Trump said during a rally in Miami on Friday night.

Donald Trump conceded Friday that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. He claimed to be burying the long-running issue -- but th...

President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period, Trump said Friday morning in Washington.

Trumps unwillingness a day earlier to make that same admission in a Washington Post interview gave new life to a conspiracy theory he has peddled since 2011.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus said Trump has moved beyond dogwhistle politics to the howls of wolves.

We will not elect a chief bigot of the United States of America, said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.

And his opponent wasted no time in holding Trump accountable for his years as myth-maker.

Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, Clinton said at the Black Womens Agenda Symposium, and Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology.

The media attention on these latest controversies has taken focus away from an investigation into Trumps foundation by the New York attorney general, but all of this is likely to serve as material for Clinton at the first presidential debate on Sept. 26.
