Trump insists Elizabeth Warren 'owes the country an apology' as Cherokee Nation says using DNA test to prove sliver of American Indian blood is 'inappropriate and wrong' – and president will write $1 million charity check only 'if I can test her personally'
- Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren released the results of a DNA analysis on Monday showing she has a distant Native American ancestor
- Trump said in July that if he debated Warren he would toss her a DNA test and offer $1 million to charity 'if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian'
- Warren demanded he must pay up, designating the Indigenous Women’s Resource Center to get Trump's money
- Trump insisted he would only write the check if warrenwonthe Demorcatic nomination and debated him, and he ran the DNA test himself
- Warren could have as much as 1/64th and as little as 1/1,024th American Indian blood, according to a Stanford professor's conclusions
- Lower end of that scale would be 0.097 per cent; landmark 2014 study found European-Americans have an average of 0.18 per cent Native American blood
- The Cherokee Nation slapped at Warren for using a DNA test toprove a point about whether or not she is related to that tribe
- 'Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,' the tribe said
- Major PR rollout, complete with video, documents and testimonials, indicates Warren is serious about mounting a bid to unseat President Donald Trump
- Trump has long bashed 'Pocahontas,' his nickname for Elizabeth Warren, over her claimed ancestry
- 'She faked her heritage for years and used that. She can't prove anything,' he said last week
- A lack of American Indian DNA for comparison meant Stanford geneticist who analyzed Warren's DNA had to rely on samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia
