Lewandowski: Trump has "nothing to apologize for" on Mexican judge

Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's campaign manager, said Sunday that there's "nothing to apologize for" in his candidate's comments about a federal judge's Mexican heritage.

"Well, there's nothing to apologize for," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation," adding that former Trump University students were "exceptionally happy" with the program. "...This case should have dismissed on summary judgment a long time ago. And we question the impartiality of the judge based on all those factors. That's all we're talking about in this case."

Trump has come under fire from GOP leaders for saying Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is involved with the Trump University case, is unfairly biased against him because of his Mexican heritage. He later said he thought it was "possible" that a Muslim judge would have the same biases against him, given his plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Lewandowski then noted that Trump's objection to Curiel isn't about his heritage, it's that he is too "liberal" to give Trump a fair trial.
