Last week, Trump said U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s opinion in a case against Trump University was being influenced by the judge’s heritage because of the candidate’s campaign rhetoric about Mexicans and illegal immigration.
Ryan called Trump’s comments about the judge “the textbook definition of racism” earlier in the week, but on Wednesday, he reiterated his support for Trump at a closed-door meeting with House Republicans and asked his colleagues to unite behind the presumptive nominee, according to several members who attended the session.

A pair of teleprompters flanked the podium at the Trump National Golf Club in suburban New York City, and the celebrity businessman appeared to be reading from them as he delivered a speech that featured far less of his trademark bluster.

Trump posted the new statement on Tuesday.
