Donald Trump posted a video on Youtube in which he asked Obama to turn over documents backing up claims that he was an American-born citizen and so qualified to be president. In exchange for the documents, Trump will write the president a check for $5 million that he will then donate to any charity chosen by Obama.  

The deadline for the president to hand over the requested documents is Oct. 31 at 5 p.m.

 Statements made by Trump in the video include the following:

"President Obama is the least transparent President in the history of this country. Sadly, we know very little about a large portion of our President's life and, in fact, he has spent millions of dollars in legal fees to make sure that it stays that way."

"Many Americans have serious questions - questions that should not be part of the presidential dialogue."

"A large portion of American people are asking me to serve as their spokesperson. It is for this reason that I have a deal for the President - a deal that I do not believe he can refuse."

"If Barack Obama agrees (or has the universities and colleges agress) to give all his college records and applications and if he provides all of his passport records and applications, I will give to a charity of his choice... a check for five million dollars. The check will be given immediately after he releases the records so states, or causes said records to be released."

"All he has to do to collect five million for a charity of his choice is  get his universities and colleges to immediately give his complete applications and records and also to release his passport information. When he does that to my satisfaction, the check will be delivered immediately. A lot of people will be very, very happy to see this happen. Frankly it's a check that I very much want to write. I absolutely will be the most happy of all if I did, in fact, make this contribution through the President to a charity of his choice."

"The American people will be happy and the selected charity will be very, very happy."
