During a 60 Minutes interview on April 26, Trump responded to a quoted line from the alleged WHCD shooter's manifesto by stating "I'm not a rapist" and "I'm not a pedophile." O'Donnell quoted from Cole Allen's manifesto which referred to Trump as "a pedophile, rapist, and traitor." The post's analogy to Nixon's "I am not a crook" resonates because both are examples of a sitting president making extraordinary defensive denials on camera—though Trump has faced allegations including being found liable for sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll in May 2023 and fresh allegations from the recently released Epstein files, while his denials address statements from an armed suspect rather than established facts.
