Trump doubles down on scary helicopter trip story

Mr Brown, 90, told US media he had never shared a helicopter with Trump, adding: "I don't think I'd want to ride on the same helicopter with him."

He also denied he said anything disparaging about Ms Harris.

"That's so far-fetched, it's unbelievable," he told local TV station KRON. "I could not envision thinking of Kamala Harris in any negative way.

"She's a good friend a long time ago, absolutely beautiful woman, smart as all hell, very successful, electorally speaking.

"He was doing what Donald does best, his creative fiction."
