Donald Trump's team has removed the statement on his website to ban all Muslims from the US.
On the same night that millions of votes were pouring in
for the real estate mogul turned politician, the page linking to his
December statement regarding a temporary and complete Muslim has been
removed.
The page now redirects to his a page encouraging voters to donate to his campaign.
The
page was available on the morning of the election on 8 November,
according to online caches. But the redirected was added later the same
night.
Mr Trump was widely condemned for his call
shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 to
temporarily ban all Muslims until he figured out "what the hell was
going on".
Mr Trump and his allies have consistently
defended the ban, insisting the measure was about Americans' "safety"
and not about discriminating against religion. Videos and speeches
defending the ban remain on the Trump campaign website.
