Ted Cruz today denied cheating on his wife with five women - and claimed it was Donald Trump and his 'henchmen' who were spreading a smear, prompting a scathing response from the Republican frontrunner.
Cruz publicly denied cheating on his wife Heid with five woman - described in the National Enquirer as including a 'hot babe' and a '$1,000 a night call girl'.
And he accused Donald Trump and his henchmen of being behind it saying his rival had acted to 'enlist' the Enquirer to spread a smear.
That prompted Trump to issue a lengthy statement denying being involved, but which said of the National Enquirer 'they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards and many others.'
'I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin' Ted Cruz,' he said.
The extraordinary spectacle of the Christian conservative candidate defending the integrity of his marriage unfolded in the space of hours this morning.
He first found himself facing extraordinary claims of five affairs after a story in the National Enquirer magazine became the subject of Washington gossip last night, and two women were named as potential mistresses by a Republican operative on Friday morning.
The Enquirer had never named the woman it accused Cruz of cheating on his wife Heidi

Quite the conundrum.
