Fred Trump III calls uncle Donald Trump 'atomic crazy,' says he used racial slur decades ago

BOTH SAY THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THIS CASE. >> TREVOR OKAY, GIO BENITEZ, GIO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, WE ARE HEARING FROM NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, BRAD TRUMP, THE THIRD SPEAKING OUT AGAINST HIS UNCLE IN A NEW BOOK. IT'S CALLED ALL IN THE FAMILY THE TRUMPS AND HOW WE GOT THIS WAY. AND IT ALLEGES THE FORMER PRESIDENT USED A RACIAL SLUR AND SUGGESTED DISABLED PEOPLE SHOULD, QUOTE, JUST DIE. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN CALLS THESE CLAIMS DISGUSTING LIES, BUT HIS NEPHEW SAYS THIS IS NO POLITICAL HIT JOB. >> IT'S THE FULL TRUTH. YOU'RE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AT AARON KATERSKY. >> IT'S THE TRUMPS AND HOW WE GOT WAY. WHAT WAY? WHAT'S THE TRUMP WAY COMPLEX SOMETIMES CRUEL. AND WITHIN EVERY FAMILY, PEOPLE KNOW THIS. FAMILIES ARE COMPLICATED. EVERY FAMILY HAS THEIR CRAZY UNCLE. MY UNCLE DONALD IS ATOMIC CRAZY ,AND HE HAS PUT HIS MARK ON THE FAMILY. ATOMIC CRAZY? YES, DUMMY MEANS HE DOES THINGS THAT EVEN AS MUCH I KNOW HIM WHEN HE'S OUT THERE NOW, I SORT OF SHUDDER AND SAY, IS THIS THE SAME GUY I KNEW? WHAT'S WHAT'S MAKING HIM CHANGE . WHAT'S WHAT GOT HIM THIS WAY. BUT THAT ALL BEING I'VE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP BUT HE'S REALLY HORRIFIC THINGS TO ME WHICH SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY HOW COULD YOU STILL WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM THAT HE'S HE'S MY UNCLE IS HIS FAMILY, AND THAT MEANS A LOT AFTER HIS WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT, BRAD TRUMP SAYS HE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE DISABLED. >> I WAS IN THE OVAL OFFICE 12 TIMES ABOUT AND THAT WAS OUR MISSION TO ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WITH COMPLEX. IT CULMINATED IN MAY OF 2020. IN THE OVAL OFFICE, DONALD WAS THERE. HE WAS VERY GRACIOUS. SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS WERE THERE, INCLUDING THE GROUP THAT WE BROUGHT DOWN. WE DISPERSED. I WAS ASKED TO GO BACK AND SEE DONALD. HE GREETED ME WITH HIS FAMILIAR. HEY, PAL, HOW'S IT GOING? WE SAT DOWN FOR A BIT AND HE JUST CAME OUT WITH THESE PEOPLE. ALL THE EXPENSES. THEY SHOULD JUST DIE. HE'S TALKING ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE COMPLEX ISSUES AND THE FIRST THING HE COULD SAY WAS THEY SHOULD JUST DIE. BRAD CLAIMS THIS WAS AN ISOLATED, DESCRIBING A PHONE CALL TO ALERT HIS UNCLE MEDICAL FUND SET UP BY THE FAMILY FOR HIS SON. WILLIAM WAS RUNNING LOW A FUND. HE SAYS THE FORMER PRESIDENT CONSISTENTLY REPLENISHED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I SAID I CALLED HIM. I SAID, DONALD THE FUNDS RUNNING OUT. AND WITHOUT HESITATION, HE SAID, YOUR SON DOESN'T RECOGNIZE YOU. LET HIM DIE AND MOVE TO FLORIDA . WERE YOU SURPRISED? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I MEAN, MY RESPONSE WAS, NO, DONALD, HE RECOGNIZE ME AND SAID, OH, WELL, THANKS. AND THEN HUNG UP. WAS I SURPRISED? I DON'T THINK YOU COULD HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND NOT BE SURPRISED. BUT THAT IS WHAT HE HAS BECOME. IT'S SAD. THERE'S A CHAPTER THAT YOU WRITE ABOUT CALLED THE THE RACE CARD. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? I WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD AND. I WAS AT MY GRANDPARENTS HOUSE LIKE I WAS A LOT. AND DONALD. I COULD HEAR HIM SCREAMING AND I WENT DOWN TO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY GRANDPARENTS HOUSE AND. THERE WAS THIS WHITE ELDORADO CONVERTIBLE WITH TWO SLASHES STILL REMEMBER IT. AND HE HAD ELECTRICAL TAPE BECAUSE THE ROOF WAS BLACK AND HE USED THE WORD THE N-WORD TWICE, JUST SAYING WHO HE THOUGHT PROBABLY HAD DONE THIS. YOU WERE TEN YEARS OLD WHEN THESE COMMENTS WERE ALLEGEDLY UTTERED. YOU'RE SURE YOU REMEMBER HIM THAT? OH, ABSOLUTELY. HE SAYS HE DOESN'T USE THE WORD. OKAY. HE DID TWICE THAT DAY. YOU DO WRITE IN THE BOOK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE HAVE LABELED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP A RACIST. AND SOME PEOPLE FEEL HE IS. SOME PEOPLE SAY HE'S NOT. AND YOU ASK THE QUESTION IS, IS HE A RACIST? YOU DON'T NECESSARILY ANSWER, RIGHT? IS HE A RACIST? HE AT TIMES ESPOUSED THINGS THAT PEOPLE WHO I BELIEVE ARE RACIST ESPOUSES. THAT'S THE BEST I CAN. THAT QUESTION SAY MORE. I DON'T BELIEVE IS RACIST. I THINK THAT HE USES PEOPLE, WHETHER THEY'RE OR THEY'RE WHOEVER CAN HELP HIM, HE USE THEM AND, YOU KNOW, CALL IT RACIST OR NOT. I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT. HE USES THEM AS PROPS. AND WHEN HE GETS WHAT HE NEEDS OUT OF THEM VOTES, HE'LL CAST THEM ASIDE. >> SO THAT IS BRAD TRUMP, THE THIRD SPEAKING WITH OUR SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, WHO JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE AIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME . WE HEARD AT THE BEGINNING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS CALLING THE CLAIMS IN THIS BOOK DISGUSTING LIES. >> BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THEY'RE SAYING A LOT MORE THAN THAT. WHAT DO THEY SAY? WE DID GET A STATEMENT FROM THE TRUMP WHICH SAID THIS IS COMPLETELY FABRICATED AND TOTAL FAKE NEWS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. AND THE STATEMENT GOES ON TO SAY IT'S APPALLING. A LIE SO BLATANTLY DISGUSTING CAN BE PRINTED MEDIA. ANYONE WHO KNOWS PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS HE WOULD NEVER USE SUCH LANGUAGE AND FALSE STORIES LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBUNKED. >> NOW YOU PRESSED BRAD TRUMP ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CLAIMS IN THERE, BUT THIS IS A THIS BOOK IS 300 PLUS PAGES. >> THERE'S A LOT IN THERE. ANYTHING ELSE THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU? WELL, LOOK, HE DOES SAY AND IT TALKS A LOT ABOUT HIS SON, WILLIAM, HIS SON, WHO DOES HAVE RATHER COMPLICATED ISSUES. HE SAYS HIS UNCLE DONALD, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLENISHING THE FUND THAT PAYS FOR HIS MEDICAL BILLS. AND HE SAYS THIS BOOK IS ABOUT ADVOCACY. HE DOES SAY IT IS NOT TO BE POLITICAL, ALTHOUGH WE'RE LESS THAN 100 DAYS FROM THE ELECTION. YES, BRAD, TRUMP TOLD US HE IS VOTING FOR KAMALA HARRIS. OKAY. BUT IF HIS UNCLE WINS, HE WOULD ATTEND THE INAUGURATION IF HE'S INVITED. I DON'T KNOW THAT I
