Remember that time Hillary Clinton said Donald Trump's comments about Muslims were being used by terrorist groups to recruit new terrorists? Politifact rated the comment flat-out "false" earlier this month, reporting that there was no evidence to support it, but now there is.

A video from the Al-Shabab militant group titled "The Path To Paradise" encourages black Americans to convert to Islam and join the Jihad, and features Trump's words alongside video of Anwar al-Awlaki​, the U.S.-born cleric and al-Qaeda operative who was killed in a drone strike two years ago, ABC News reports.

Trump, for his part, called Hillary Clinton a "liar" and said she probably made up the claim that his words were was being used for terrorist recruitment after she first said it at a Dec. 19 debate, but it will be interesting to see how he reacts now that there's concrete evidence.
