James O’Keefe Allegedly Instructed By Trump to Steal Obama’s School Records

Apparently, Donald Trump was in dire need of former US President Barack Obama’s private school records that he asked James O’Keefe to “get inside” Columbia University and get his hands on them.

It is rumored that President Trump asked O’Keefe to steal Obama’s school records from Columbia University as reported by CNN with the allegation seemingly revealed in O’Keefe’s new book, American Pravda: My Fight for Truth in the Era of Fake News, which is set to be released next week. Trump reportedly ask O’keefe to carry this criminal act during a 2013 meeting in New York City, where he also heaped praise on him for some of his past work, including once posing as a pimp as part of a sting operation at the offices of the ACORN organization.

According to O’Keefe, Trump thought that Obama had entered Columbia, and maybe even Harvard, under the application guidelines of a foreign student and “perhaps picked up a few scholarships along the way.” “‘Nobody else can get this information,’” O’Keefe quoted Trump as saying. “‘Do you think you could get inside Columbia?’” While O’Keefe claims he expressed hesitancy to the idea, he added Trump ended the meeting by again imploring him to “do Columbia.”

Trump is alleged to be part of the so-called birther movement, which believes in the mostly debunked conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the U.S., and thus should have never been eligible to become president.

Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983 and alleged conspiracy theorists like Trump have often say that records from the school may be evidence of his true origin. During his 2016 campaign run, Trump held a meeting where he appeared to finally back off his hardline stance, publicly admitting that he knew Obama was born in the U.S. Trump’s concession came more than five years after Obama had publicly released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii.

But as recently as last November, the New York Times reported Trump was again privately questioning if the birth certificate released by Obama was authentic.

O’Keefe writes that the Trump meeting was arranged by GOP political operative Sam Nunberg, who confirmed setting up the meeting as Trump was attracted to the idea at least partly based on the number of retweets he thought it would get on Twitter.

“I recall that the Columbia records were brought up,” Nunberg told CNN. “I in no way recall Trump asking James to do something illegal…. He did not ask him to go in there and break in and get the records. Trump was saying something along the lines of, ‘Try to find somebody you can talk to that’s saying we are hiding the records.’ Something along those lines.”
