President Donald Trump said he won’t make good on a bet on Senator Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage unless he can personally test her DNA.
The Massachusetts lawmaker released results of a genetic test to the Boston Globe on Monday showing she has a distant Native American ancestor. Trump has frequently ridiculed her claim of native heritage, calling her “Pocahontas” -- a name that she and some Native Americans have said is a slur.
