Donald Trump’s Jewish lawyer, Michael Cohen, has said rabbis who plan on boycotting the Republican candidate should be “ashamed”.
Mr Trump will give a speech to around 18,000 attendees at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference in Washington DC on Sunday.
But around 40 mostly progressive rabbis have pledged to boycott the billionaire businessman’s address at the event.
The Trump Organisation’s executive vice president Mr Cohen said on Thursday on Twitter: “Anyone who believes that @realDonaldTrump is a racist doesn’t know #Trump at all.”
