Abdul El-Sayed, speaking at a campaign rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, says Trump recently said he should have to go through a metal detector. El-Sayed offers a trade: he'll do it if Trump takes a lie detector. "I got nothing to hide," he says, adding that his first question would be about Epstein and his second would be whether Trump won the 2020 election.
