Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday attacked Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris¡¯ record on crime and safety, while brushing aside criticism from her campaign over holding an event in a Michigan town where white supremacists had rallied a month ago.

The campaign stop was one of a number Trump is holding this week in battleground states as Democrats meet in Chicago to formally choose Vice President Harris as their nominee in the Nov. 5 election.

But the event in Howell attracted particular attention because of the town¡¯s historic association with the Ku Klux Klan.
