from CBS News:
Chicago Police: We Never Told Trump Campaign To Shut Down Rally (bolding mine)

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.

The Chicago Police Department had no role,” Chicago Police Interim Supt. John Escalante told reporters at a hastily convened news conference late Friday. “In fact, I can tell you we did assure the Trump campaign that we had more than adequate resources outside the UIC Pavilion and that we guaranteed them we could provide safe access and exit for Mr. Trump.”

...he won't be there in person, you can bet on it. But he sure as hell will have set it up.

Way past time for him to be stopped.
