Chicago Police: We Never Told Trump Campaign To Shut Down Rally

[ehrnst]

"The Chicago Police Department disagreed with Donald Trump’s suggestion that local authorities recommended he cancel a political rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago Friday evening because of safety concerns.

Trump – facing the embarrassment that mobs of protesters shut down his planned appearance — indicated he spoke to police before making the decision to “postpone” the campaign event at UIC Pavilion.

“After speaking with law enforcement, I just thought it would be a wise thing for us to postpone this rally,” Trump told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

Chicago Police say they never talked with Trump, nor did they tell him to pull out."

2. They have liar Trump audio say police advised . Chief Escalante was on Tv saying they police

we're caught of guard by the cancellation and had no time for a plan B of letting the stadium out
Not only did both university police and CPD say they did not advise , Escalante said trump campaign gave no notice ahead of the announcement

Edit to add Escalante is the chief of Chicago Police Dept.( who recently was appointed after the Laquan video came out and the the last one was fired for his part of the coverup)
