Trump says debate microphone was 'defective'

September 27, 2016 19:38

Controversial Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed that he was given a defective microphone in the fiery debate with his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and questioned whether it

happened on purpose.

"They gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room," Trump told reporters after the debate.

"I wonder, was that on purpose? Was that on purpose? But I had a mic that didn't work properly," he was quoted as saying by media reports.

The 70-year-old real estate tycoon has often joked on the campaign trail about faulty microphones, saying on occasion that he may refuse to pay for the audio rental. He repeated that joke last week during a campaign event in Kenansville, North Carolina.
