CLINTON NUDGES AHEAD

Trump accuses Hillary of ‘cheating’ by using Jay Z, Beyonce and Katie Perry to back her campaign as Clinton nudges ahead in polls

DONALD Trump has accused presidential rival Hillary Clinton of cheating by having stars including Beyonce, Jay Z and Katie Perry endorse her campaign as she nudges ahead in the polls.

The Democrat candidate has a four point lead on Republican opponent Trump in the final NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of the 2016 campaign.

The latest poll is down from the 11 point lead she enjoyed after a tape emerged of Trump talking about grabbing women “by the p***y”.

But her campaign has received a fresh boost after the FBI's announcement that it won't press charges after an investigation into the candidate's email use.

With Hillary slightly ahead at the final hurdle Trump rounded on his rival accusing her of needing celebrities to fill rallies.

In recent days Beyonce, Jay Z and Katie Perry have all performed at Clinton rallies - with Perry wearing a cape emblazoned with "I'm with Madam President".

Trump said: “On quick notice, we didn’t bring any so-called stars along ― we didn’t need them.

“The reason Hillary has to do that is, nobody comes for her. She can’t fill a room.

“That’s almost like a form of cheating, right?”

Beyonce and Jay Z endorsed Clinton during a campaign concert just days before the election.

The power couple embraced Clinton on stage and Beyonce told those gathered:  "I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless.

"We have to think about the future of our daughters, of our sons, and vote for someone who cares for them as much as we do. And that is why, I’m with her."

While husband Jay Z dismissed Trump saying: "He cannot be our president. Once you divide us, you weaken us, we are stronger together. And without further ado, I would like to introduce to you the next president of the United State, Miss Hillary Clinton."

Perry, 32, told the young crowd gathered in Philadelphia last night.

"Let's continue supporting our girl and in three days lets make history," Perry yelled. "See you at the polls next Tuesday!"

While Katie Perry was getting crowds cheering Donald Trump was being  bundled off stage by his security guards after someone in the crowd shouted a gun warning.

The protester who sparked fears Trump was about to be assassinated has since revealed he was holding nothing but a sign.
