Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on four minority congresswomen.

The US President said that Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib have said "horrible" things about the USA.

Trump also defended himself from the criticism he received over his comment that they should leave the country if they're unhappy.

On Wednesday the US House of Representatives passed a resolution officially condemning his verbal attacks on the four lawmakers.

The leader took to twitter saying the women, who are all US citizens, should "go back" to the countries they "came from".

Trump denied he was prejudiced, saying: "I don't have a racist bone in my body!".
