http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/19/politics/melania-trump-michelle-obama-speech/index.html(CNN)Donald Trump's presidential campaign doesn't plan to fire anybody or to take disciplinary action over the controversy surrounding Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama, CNN learned Tuesday.
Trump's campaign hopes to simply move on without further addressing questions about the speech.
Aides to the presumptive Republican nominee are scrambling to move past the imbroglio after a passage in Melania Trump's speech Monday night, which headlined the Republican National Convention's opening night, closely mirrored a portion of Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.
It's set off infighting and finger-pointing within Trump's campaign, and two sources told CNN that Donald Trump himself is furious about it.
*Oooh, I would be mad with my husband if he didn't fire anyone who did this to me, unless she plagiarized it herself?*

university - when she actually dropped out her first year.
Everything seems to prove you can't trust Trump to tell the truth.
That's a campaign killer right there. Drip drip drip.
