Trump says Cruz's father was with Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK assassination. Utah officials trying to mediate conflicts with ranchers, feds. State rep on prison relocation commission developed condos nearby.

Trump's comments parrot a National Enquirer story but a Cruz campaign spokesperson countered that it was "another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage."
