President Trump, who has long mocked Warren for claiming to have Native American ancestry in what he called an effort to advance her academic career, savaged the episode as "the Elizabeth Warren beer catastrophe."

Bustamante, who conducted the analysis, said the results "strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor."
