"Dr Carson stated his staff is now working with Trump so it was not really plagiarism..

Ben Carson didn't endorse Trump until March 11, and Trump published the article on March 9th.

Now there might have been some secret dealing going on long before that.

I am saying EXACTLY what Dr Carson said. That was not my opinion. In the CNN interview Dr Carson stated some of his staff work for Trump now implying a staffer wrote this.

Also, it is clear the alliance happened earlier than the endorsement. Staffers need to be paid and probably jumped ship earlier which would have been a great favor to Dr. Carson (seeing his staff still had a job, etc).
