Trump campaign said that, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who was one of the leaders of the "birther” movement which questioned President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship, believes Mr. Obama was born in the United States.

Trump senior communications advisor Jason Miller said in a statement, that, “Having successfully obtained President Obama's birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States.”

“Mr. Trump did a great service to the President and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised,” Mr. Miller’s statement said.

“I’ll answer that question at the right time,” Mr. Trump said. “I just don’t want to answer it yet.”

Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, who has acknowledged that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and has said that Mr. Trump privately agrees. “It’s O.K.,” he said of Ms. Conway. “She’s allowed to speak what she thinks. I want to focus on jobs. I want to focus on other things.”

Mr. Trump’s running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, said that, I believe that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii” and added, “I accept his birthplace.”

"Trump needs to say it himself. On camera. And admit he was wrong for trying to delegitimize the country's first African American President," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon wrote on Twitter.
