Donald Trump opened a new front Monday evening in his war against Hillary Clinton, calling her 'a terrible example' for American children to follow – including his own 10-year-old boy.

He complained that his rival cheated during a primary debate and a subsequent town hall broadcast, both on CNN, by accepting questions in advance from a Democratic Party official who was a paid contributor on the network.

Donna Brazile subsequently lost her job with CNN after the anti-privacy group WikiLeaks published a pair of emails to Clinton campaign aides containing the pilfered information.

'You know, I have a son named Barron,' Trump said at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan, near Detroit.

'And I want to tell you, she is a terrible example for my son and for the children in this country. That I can tell you.'

Donald Trump personalized his anger at Hillary Clinton's campaign team for accepting a cheat-sheet before a March primary debate, telling a Michigan audience that Clinton should have blown the whistle on the Democratic Party official who passed her the questions

Clinton's Democratic presidential campaign has been exposed for accepting at least two questions in advance of CNN-hosted primary debates and town hall events – helped by Donna Brazile, who was later sacked by the network

Trump said he was holding Clinton and her top campaign officials accountable for failing to alert CNN that they had been given questions ahead of time.

And he blasted the news media for not pressing that point with Clinton, calling them 'one of the most dishonest groups of people ever, ever, ever, you're ever going to meet.'

'Who cares about Donna Brazile? Who cares?' he asked.

'What I care about is: Hillary Clinton gets the questions to a debate, that's a big deal. And then what happens is, the media – they never say, "Why didn't you turn it in? Why did you use those questions?"'

'We don't forget. We do want the answer to that question, media!' he yelled at a row of TV cameras in the back of the arena.

'Ask her! Why didn't she say that she had the questions to the debate? I hope you're going to be able to give us this answer.'

After a breath, Trump looked to the side and told his audience in a softer voice: 'They're worse than she is.'

Trump acknowledged near the end of his nearly hour-long speech that he wasn't a perfectly mannered and manicured candidate.

'If you would have told me I was going to be a politician, I would have laughed,' he said. 'I would have laughed.'

'I would have perhaps behaved a bit differently! But that's okay.'

But his full-tilt mission in Michigan was to question the legitimacy of Clinton's candidacy.

'Hillary Clinton is a dishonest person. And you know what? It all shows. There's so many things.'

'To me it's a big deal. Getting the questions to the debate, that's a big deal,' he said.

'And not turning yourself in! And if they fired Donna Brazile, why aren't they firing Hillary Clinton?'

The sound level went from medium to scream in an instant, with cheers and chants of 'Lock her up!' raining down.

'Why is she allowed to run? Hillary Clinton is unfit and unqualified to be the president of the United States,' Trump said.

'This Wikileaks is like a treasure trove,' Trump mused.

Donna Brazile, who leaked debate and town hall questions to the Clinton camp, is no longer a CNN political analyst, but is still the interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee

Trump was introduced, as he was hours earlier in the Michigan city of Grand Rapids, by retired Indiana Hoosiers basketball coach Bobby Knight.

The coach said for the second time in four hours that there would be 'no bulls**t' in a Trump administration.

'I don't care about you Democrats. I don't care about you Republicans. But let's hire the best person we can to be the President of the United States,' Knight urged.

'And that man, Donald Trump, will not bring morons along with him! He'll bring the smartest people in the country to do the toughest jobs there are, and there will be a lot of them.'

Trump said he was barnstorming the Wolverine State because his aides told him he had drawn even with Clinton.

President George H.W. Bush's 1988 election was the last time Michigan's voters chose a Republican.

But he predicted a victory on November 8, making his pitch on the basis of scrapping international trade agreements that preceded massive job losses in America's rust belt.

'If I'm elected, you won't lose one plant,' he said, seemingly aware that he was speaking to family members of displaced auto workers.

'You'll have plants coming into this country.'

Trump poked a stick in Monday's two rallies at longtime Clinton senior aide Huma Abedin, whose estranged husband Anthony Weiner is a former Democratic congressman who resigned in disgrace following a series of sexting scandals.

FBI Director James Comey told a group of congressional committee chairmen and ranking minority members on Friday that his agency had harvested about 650,000 emails from a computer belonging to Weiner as part of a probe – prompted by a DailyMail.com story – into allegations that he traded lurid messages with a 15-year-old girl.

Abedin has worked for Hillary since her days as U.S. first lady, but is no longer traveling with the campaign as the presidential race reaches its climax

Some of those emails, FBI sources have since confirmed, had links to the email probe Comey declared over in July. Clinton was suspected of harboring classified documents on a private server she used exclusively for her email while she was secretary of state.

Clinton acknowledged erasing 33,000 emails rather than turning them over to the State Department upon her retirement, claiming they weren't work-related.

With the dust settling, Abedin's wayward spouse may cost Clinton her White House ambitions if those messages were archived among those the FBI found on his computer.

'Do you think right now that Hillary Clinton is happy with the services of Huma?' Trump mocked.

'I don't think so. I don't think she likes Huma.'

And I never thought we'd be saying "thank you",' he said – adding a dramatic pause – 'to Anthony Weiner.'
