"I didn't say it, they're liars," Trump told Benson.
Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News first reported the comments last week, posting on X that Trump said "Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city."
The remarks were allegedly made in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans.
Several Republicans immediately pushed back that the former president was simply talking about crime, a point that Trump leaned into on Tuesday.
