TRUMP CLAIMS HAITIAN MIGRANTS ARE EATING PETS OF US CITIZENS, WITHOUT EVIDENCE

Former President Donald Trump has used the presidential debate against Kamala Harris as an opportunity to make a number of controversial and inaccurate statements.

Among the most outlandish, Mr Trump amplified an online rumour that Haitian migrants in Ohio, Springfield, were eating the pets of local residents - to which the Vice President can be heard laughing in the background.

That's despite authorities saying they have found no evidence of such behaviour.
