Cruz responds to 'garbage' affair accusations, blames Trump
(FOX News) - The Donald Trump-Ted Cruz mud-slinging took another bizarre twist Friday, driven by an Internet frenzy over a tabloid report alleging Cruz had extramarital affairs.
Cruz addressed the salacious report in the National Enquirer at an event in Oshkosh, Wis., calling the claims "garbage" and "complete and utter lies." He also placed the blame around the neck of front-runner Trump.
"It is a tabloid smear and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen," Cruz said, claiming the only on-the-record source for the story is Roger Stone - who formerly served on the Trump campaign as an adviser.
Trump, in a written statement, denied Cruz's claims.
