- 8 years ago
Donald Trump jabbed Newt Gingrich after the former House Speaker criticized the presumptive GOP nominee for attacking the federal judge overseeing the Trump University lawsuit, saying his critique was "inappropriate."
Trump said he'd heard Gingrich's comments about him and "was surprised at Newt.
I thought it was inappropriate what he said."
Gingrich, who has drawn scrutiny as a potential vice president pick, joined a chorus of top Republicans rebuking Trump for repeatedly accusing U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, overseeing a lawsuit involving Trump University, of bias because of his Mexican heritage.
