Donald Trump called in to Fox & Friends on Monday morning, as he often does when the mood strikes him. The occasion on this particular day was the recent sexual harassment allegations against GOP candidate Herman Cain.

The business mogul was quick to defend Cain, pointing out that people often settle such “baseless” suits simply to avoid legal fees.

“So they settle it on the basis that it’s a lot cheaper and quicker and no publicity, no nothing and they settle it and then it ends up blowing up in his face,” Trump said. “I think it’s very, very unfair.”

Trump stopped short of saying he believed that the accusations were false, however, instead stating: “I don’t know if they’re true.”
