Warren’s DNA analysis shows Native American ancestry
Sen. Elizabeth Warren — ridiculed by President Trump with the nickname “Pocahontas” — released a DNA test Monday showing “strong evidence” of Native American heritage.
The results of the analysis, first published by the Boston Globe, come after years of speculation that Warren had falsified her heritage decades ago by calling herself a minority in order to advance her career. The Massachusetts Democrat, 69, has claimed that she was told growing up that she was part Cherokee.
Trump seized on the controversy throughout his campaign and presidency, calling Warren a liar and a fraud, tweeting about her dozens of times and trashing her at numerous rallies.
