WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBSMiami) -- Hillary Clinton is back in the cross hairs of Republican rival Donald Trump as he attacked her through social media that seemingly included an anti-semitic undertone.
On Twitter, Trump sent out a message Saturday, July 2nd, at 9:37 a.m. saying "Crooked Hillary -- Makes History!" It included a photo of her with the caption, "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever," pasted over a pile of cash and a six-pointed star, typically depicted in the Jewish faith as the Star of David.
Clinton's team fired back with a simple question.
Why is there a Star of David? https://t.co/CMidmfHbjg

Several hours later, Trump's account deleted the original tweet and re-uploaded it with a circle in place of the star.

Perhaps it was simply an unintended design choice to add the six-pointed star. After all, Photoshop offers graphic designers a slew of design shapes within their toolbox like stars, circles or even hearts.
Conceding the graphic attack slip-up, Trump later continued a verbal one.
It is impossible for the FBI not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton. What she did was wrong! What Bill did was stupid!
