President Trump said Friday he did not know about the dozens of undocumented workers employed at his golf courses over many years because he no longer runs his business.

Trump’s eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric, have taken over management of the Trump Organization while their father is president.

But groundskeepers, maids and kitchen staff interviewed by The Washington Post in recent months say they worked without legal documents at Trump’s clubs long before he entered politics and made illegal immigration his core issue.

Standing outside the White House before departing for his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., reporters asked Trump about his knowledge of undocumented workers employed there and at his other clubs.

“Well, that I don’t know. Because I don’t run it,” Trump said. “But I would say this, probably every club in the United States has that, because it seems to me, from what I understand, a way that people did business.”
