A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department says the agency never recommended that Donald Trump cancel his campaign rally in the city. CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tells The Associated Press that the department never told the Trump campaign there was a security threat at the University of Illinois at Chicago venue. He said the department had sufficient manpower on the scene to handle any situation. Guglielmi says the university's police department also did not recommend that Trump call off the event. He says the decision was made "independently" by the campaign. Guglielmi says Trump never arrived at the Chicago venue.
