Zach Clough netted his sixth goal in eight starts, but high-flying Bolton were made to work hard for their League One win over Coventry at the Macron Stadium.

Clough's 11th minute lob gave Wanderers a perfect start and the visitors were then indebted to Lee Burge for keeping them in the contest.
The City keeper saved from Gary Madine, Josh Vela and Clough on a night when former Bolton player and coach Gary Speed was honoured with a minute's applause by fans.
But if Burge excelled in the opening period, opposite number Ben Alnwick came to the Trotters' rescue in the second.
Having already denied Kyel Reid before the break, Alnwick saved superbly from Lewis Page plus substitutes Jodi Jones and Ruben Lameiras.
Bolton's best moment of the second half was Clough's 25-yard free-kick, which was tipped on to the post and away to safety by the outstanding Burge.
Coventry poured forward in search of a late equaliser to try to avoid a third straight league defeat, but instead, Phil Parkinson's side held on for their first home win over the Sky Blues in eight attempts since 1965.

Venezuela has some of the world's largest proven oil deposits as well as huge quantities of coal, iron ore, bauxite and gold.

Yet most Venezuelans live in poverty, many of them in shanty towns, some of which sprawl over the hillsides around the capital, Caracas.
Venezuela's economic fortunes are tied to world oil prices. A 1970s boom largely benefited the middle classes, but a subsequent price collapse condemned many of them to poverty while eroding the living standards of the already impoverished.
Unemployment is high and, according to official figures, around 60% of households are poor.
In 1998 Venezuelans broke with the party system to elect populist left-winger Hugo Chavez, a former army officer who proclaimed a "Bolivarian revolution", named after South America's independence hero. Mr Chavez died in 2013, but was succeeded by his vice-president, Nicolas Maduro, who pledged to continue his policies.
Socialist reform, political unrest and deep divisions characterised President Chavez's term in office. His supporters - known as "chavistas" - and his detractors both staged street protests.

Supporters said his economic reforms - including the nationalisation of much of the economy, especially the oil sector - and his expansion of social programmes helped the poor benefit from the country's oil export revenues. Critics say Chavista policies have harmed economic performance.
Government controls setting fixed rates for buying and selling US dollars, introduced in 2003, have created a booming black currency market, causing shortages and fuelling inflation, which rose to over 50% a year in 2014.
The authorities blame the rampant inflation on businesses undermining the system, and have responded with controls on prices and company profits. Critics believe this will only exacerbate distortions in the economy.
Venezuela under Mr Chavez sought to strengthen its regional influence through diplomatic and economic overtures towards other South American and Caribbean nations.
This has been seen, in part, as an effort to counter Washington's influence in the region, and has been a contributory factor to strained relations with US allies such as Colombia.
Mr Chavez also aligned himself with Russia and Iran, and frequently expressed support for anti-Western leaders in the Middle East and elsewhere.
A country of striking natural beauty, which ranges from the snow-capped Andean peaks in the west, through the Amazonian jungles in the south, to the beaches of the north, Venezuela is among the most highly urbanised countries in Latin America.


Met Police officers are to start wearing cameras on their uniforms as part of plans to boost transparency and accelerate convictions.

The cameras are designed to capture evidence at crime scenes.
A trial will see 500 devices distributed to officers across 10 London boroughs. Firearm officers will also use them in their training.
But, Jack Hart from The Freedom Association says the move means "everyone is under suspicion".
The pilot scheme comes following criticism of the force over the death of Mark Duggan at the hands of armed officers.
The death of Mr Duggan, 29, in Tottenham, north London, in August 2011, sparked riots in the area that later spread across England.
Camden Borough is the first to start using the cameras, with further trials in Barnet, Bexley, Bromley, Brent, Croydon, Ealing, Havering, Hillingdon and Lewisham.
Officers will store material from each incident and keep it on file for a month unless it is required for evidential purposes.
These devices will be shared amongst the Met's 31,000 officers.
A spokesman said the force first became involved with body cameras in 2007 when it worked with the College of Policing.
Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "Our experience of using cameras already shows that people are more likely to plead guilty when they know we have captured the incident.
"That speeds up justice, puts offenders behind bars more quickly and protects potential victims."
The Scotland Yard chief said video was a "compelling piece of evidence" and would help record situations which were previously "really hard to capture in writing", such as a frightened child at the scene of a domestic violence incident.
He also said the "mere presence of this type of video can often defuse potentially violent situations".
"I believe it will also show our officers at their best, dealing with difficult and dangerous situations every day, but it will also provide clearer evidence when it's been alleged that we got things wrong," Sir Bernard continued.
"That has to be in both our own and the public's interest."
The force said officers taking part in the pilot must comply with guidelines about when cameras are to be used, but that they will not be permanently switched on and people would be informed if they were being filmed.
The commissioner added: "[We will] only put it on when we know there's a an incident running.
"If the victim wants it to be turned off it will be turned off, but the suspect doesn't have that right."
The debate over the more widespread use of body-worn cameras by British police comes after a jury at the inquest into Mr Duggan's death concluded in January that he had been lawfully killed by Met marksmen - a conclusion which prompted outrage from his family and supporters.
None of the officers involved in the incident in London was wearing body cameras.
However, Mr Hart said: "No police officer will have their body-worn camera on continually because of the sheer amount of data storage required; which will open continual debates about whether or not a camera was deliberately turned off.
"To create a situation where both police officers and the public feel constantly under suspicion is not sensible and undermines trust in all sectors of society."
Some forces, including Hampshire, already use the cameras. They were first used by Devon and Cornwall Police in 2006.
Earlier this week, Bedfordshire Police said 60 body cameras would be used by front-line officers following a successful trial.


Efforts to secure a ceasefire between Israel and the militant Hamas movement are intensifying as more people have been killed in the 18-day conflict.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has been in Cairo meeting Egypt's foreign minister and the UN secretary general.
Five Palestinians were killed in the West Bank on Friday, while one Israeli soldier was killed in northern Gaza.
Activists called for a "day of rage" over the deaths of 800 Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has lost 36 people.
Most of the Palestinian deaths have been civilians, the UN says, while 34 of Israel's dead have been soldiers. One Thai worker was also killed by rocket fire in Israel.
Israel launched new air strikes on targets in Gaza on Friday, and said it had killed a senior member of militant group Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli military reported new rocket launches by militants inside the Gaza Strip, with several intercepted.
Israel launched its military offensive on 8 July with the declared objective of stopping Hamas firing rockets into Israel, extending its operation since then to destroy tunnels dug by militants to infiltrate its territory.
Hopes rose for at least a limited deal on Friday as it emerged that Mr Kerry, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and UN chief Ban Ki-moon were planning a news conference for later in the day.
Mr Kerry is expected to leave the region on Friday, whether or not a deal is agreed.
The plan is thought to include provision for a temporary pause in hostilities that could begin as soon as this weekend.
Intensive diplomatic efforts to negotiate an end to the violence are continuing. It is understood that US Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon are proposing a two-part ceasefire plan.
The first stage would be a temporary humanitarian truce that would go into effect at the start of the Muslim festival of Eid next week. The pause in hostilities would then, it is proposed, allow negotiations on a more permanent ceasefire.
But it is not clear if the two sides will be able to agree. It is thought that Israel wants to keep its troops on the ground during the temporary ceasefire, to give it more time to destroy the cross-border tunnels. For its part, Hamas is pushing for what it calls a "genuine guarantee" that the blockade on Gaza will be lifted.
Israel wants to keep its military in Gaza and continue disabling Hamas tunnels.
Any plan must be approved both by Israel's security cabinet and senior Hamas leaders, including Qatar-based Khaled Meshaal.
In an exclusive interview, Mr Meshaal told the BBC he wanted a ceasefire and an end to Israel's blockade as soon as possible.
The bloodshed has spread to the West Bank, the larger of the two Palestinian territories
There has been a huge Israeli security operation around Muslim Friday prayers in the old city, involving more than 2,000 Israeli police. Palestinian men under the age of 50 were forbidden from praying at the al-Aqsa Mosque.
It follows a night of violence in the West Bank. Outside Ramallah, more than 10,000 Palestinians marched towards Jerusalem and clashed with Israeli soldiers. Two Palestinians were killed and more than 200 were wounded, while 29 Israeli police officers were injured.
There is much anger here about the mounting casualties in Gaza. As ever, there is talk about the possibility of a third Palestinian intifada - or uprising. That may or may not take place. But the situation is as tense in the West Bank as at any time in the last five years.
Israel has been accused of war crimes in a complaint lodged on Friday with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
It was lodged by French lawyer Gilles Devers, on behalf of Palestinian Justice Minister Saleem al-Saqqa.
Funerals were held for those who died at a UN-run school shelter in Gaza. At least 15 people were killed, includinga six-month-old baby.
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) says a 3km (1.9 mile) wide strip, encompassing 44% of Gaza, has been designated as a no-go zone by the Israeli military during the current conflict.
Israel imposed restrictions on the Gaza Strip in 2006, after Hamas abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.


An "overprotective" father who stabbed his stepdaughter's new boyfriend in the chest because he did not approve of him, has been jailed for two-and-a-half years.

Anthony Osmond, 52, of Velindre, Carmarthenshire, admitted unlawfully wounding Gareth Jones after he started dating his daughter Oasis, 20.
Swansea Crown Court heard Mr Jones, 29, needed surgery in September 2015 to repair a cut to his heart.
Osmond fled but was caught by police.
Helen Randall, prosecuting, told the court the couple kept their relationship secret at first because Osmond was "overprotective and obsessed with Oasis".
When they eventually met, Osmond and Mr Jones got into a fight at the Nags Head pub in Pembrokeshire, and Osmond stabbed him with a 15cm-long (6in) kitchen knife.
Osmond made off in his car and police later stopped him as he approached the Second Severn Crossing in Monmouthshire.
During police interviews, Osmond told officers he did not think Mr Jones was "appropriate" for Oasis.
Janet Gedrych, defending, said Osmond had not picked up the knife deliberately and was "devastated at how close he came to killing that young man".


A seal pup that was rescued in Conwy county is recovering well and could be released into the wild in the new year, RSPCA Cymru has said.

The pup was found on the opposite shore from Conwy town with an eye injury and with no sign of its mother earlier this month.
It was taken to the Welsh Mountain Zoo where its wounds have since healed.
RSPCA inspector Mike Pugh said: "It's fantastic news that this seal pup is on the mend, after such a tough ordeal."
But he urged the public not to approach all lone seals, as they have not necessarily been abandoned by their mothers.
The pup's release has been planned for the first three months of 2017.


Newport lost at Blackpool after Sean Rigg's penalty miss proved vital.

The hosts led after four minutes when Brad Potts fired home from close range after Jack Payne's cross.
However, Newport hit back before the break through Rhys Healey. Blackpool then survived when Sean Rigg saw his penalty on the hour mark saved by Sam Slocombe.
Jack Payne then fired the hosts back in front before Vassell made it safe and Kelvin Mellor added a late fourth.
Newport County manager Graham Westley told BBC Wales Sport: "Football is a 90-minute game. For the last half-hour, after we missed the penalty, we saw a team that was a bit unbalanced.
"We were stretched and strained and lacking ingredients against a very experienced Blackpool side which has a lot of quality. They exposed us in that last 30 minutes."

Both goalkeepers were on top as Chesterfield and Rochdale played out an entertaining goalless draw.

Dale keeper Josh Lillis produced a stunning stop to deny former Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, before Tommy Lee twice saved from Donal McDermott.
Ian Evatt headed over for Chesterfield, while debutant Lee Novak also went close for the home side.
McDermott went close with a free-kick but both sides settled for a point.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We should have won the game, there is no question about it.

"I'm disappointed but if I try and rewind to last season, I think we might have lost that that game.
"We didn't so I think we're making progress."


Barcelona clinched their third Spanish La Liga title in a row with a 1-1 draw at Levante.

Barca moved six points clear with two games to go, but their favourable head-to-head record over second-place Real Madrid sealed their triumph.
The visitors took the lead when Seydou Keita headed home Xavi's cross.
But Levante equalised just before the break when on-loan Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo took advantage of Gerard Pique's mistake to level.
It was only the 20th goal that the Catalan giants have conceded in the league this season but it could not prevent them winning their 21st league title and their fifth in seven seasons.
I'm delighted because it has been a very difficult title to win
Barcelona, who play Manchester United in the Champions League final on 28 May, pushed for the winner but despite going close settled for a point against mid-table Levante.
Real Madrid will finish as runners-up for the third season in a row, although Barca's bitter rivals did win the Copa del Rey in April.
Real are 19 points ahead of third-place Valencia.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola, who has won three titles since replacing Frank Rijkaard in 2008, said: "Winning the league has been extremely tough and we are very pleased.
"We have been tremendous for three-quarters of the season but in the last quarter we have struggled to score goals.
"If we have experienced a dip in form towards the end of the season, it is because of the inhuman schedule over the last two years. We have barely stopped."
Barcelona been prolific in attack and have scored 92 league goals so far this season.
Much of Barcelona's success has been built on the phenomenal abilities of reigning world player of the year Lionel Messi, who has weighed in with 31 league goals, on his way to becoming the first player to score 50 goals in a Spanish season.
"I'm delighted because it has been a very difficult title to win," said Messi.
"We've had to work very hard to be champions and more so against a great rival like Real Madrid. Now we have to enjoy it."
Barcelona, who thrashed Real Madrid 5-0 in the league earlier in the season, won 16 consecutive league matches to set a new Spanish record.


An Oscar and Bafta-winning costume designer who designed clothes for the Beatles and Sir Roger Moore's James Bond has died in London, aged 94.

Julie Harris died in hospital after a brief illness from a chest infection, a close friend confirmed.
Harris designed clothes worn by the Beatles in the films A Hard Day's Night and Help! and by Sir Roger in the James Bond film Live and Let Die.
She won an Oscar in 1966 for the Julie Christie film Darling.
Her Bafta came the following year for her work on The Wrong Box.
Harris's many other credits included the James Bond spoof Casino Royale, Carry On Cleo and 1981's The Great Muppet Caper.
In 1965, after working with the Beatles, she said: "I must be one of the few people who can claim they have seen John, Paul, George and Ringo naked."
"Julie worked with some of the greatest international stars in the history of the cinema, and for some of its most legendary directors and producers," said friend Jo Botting.
It was Botting, a senior curator at the British Film Institute National Archive, who confirmed Harris's death at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in central London on Saturday.
"Her outstanding work was constantly nominated for awards," Botting continued, remembering her friend as "an amazing woman".
Harris's other Bafta nominations came for her work on the horror film Psyche 59, Help!, Casino Royale and The Slipper and the Rose.
Speaking in 2010, Harris recalled working with such Hollywood legends as Jayne Mansfield - a buxom actress, she said, who had been blessed with "quite a figure".
"She came to a fitting one day in her mink coat with only her underclothes underneath," she told an audience at the Cinema Museum in London. "I couldn't believe it."


US share markets ended the day mixed on Thursday as tech stocks took a step back.

After the bell Amazon reported quarterly results showing a 77% fall in profit as it expanded investment in video content and growing markets. But net sales were up 25%.
The Dow Jones managed to end in positive territory, up 86 points or 0.39% at 21,796.
The tech-focused Nasdaq index was 40 points  or 0.6% lower at 6,382.
The wider S&P 500 index closed 2.41 points or 0.1% lower at 2,475.
Telecommunications giant Verizon was a major upward mover, however with share prices jumping 7.6% on strong subscriber numbers.
Facebook shares initially rose more than 5%, after the firm surprised analysts with stronger-than-expected growth in its advertising revenue late on Wednesday.
But its shares fell back to close only 2.9% higher.
Amazon, prior to its results release, also came off earlier highs which had briefly made boss Jeff Bezos the world's richest man. It ended 0.6% lower.
Twitter shares dropped precipitously. They fell 14% over the course of the day after the social media service's user figures disappointed.
Shares at budget carrier Spirit Airlines also plunged, down 17% after the firm said its standoff with pilots resulted in more than 850 cancelled flights and raised costs in the quarter by an estimated $45m. Negotiations with the pilots are continuing.


A "predatory" paedophile who raped and sexually assaulted five young girls over 10 years after befriending their mothers has been jailed.

Luis Moreno, 66, of Aquarius Street, Hulme, was found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of nine counts of rape and 11 counts of indecent assault.
On Wednesday he was jailed for 16 years.
The court heard the abuse started in 1994, when the first victim was eight years old, police said.
Moreno targeted five young girls at his house in Hulme for the next 10 years, the youngest being aged seven when the abuse started.
Having befriended the mothers of several of the victims, Moreno would encourage the girls to come round to his house to watch television and DVDs.
While they were at the house, he would systematically abuse and rape the girls, sometimes while others were waiting outside the door, police said.
The court heard one of the victims say she had been raped 40 times a year.
Det Con Mark Watson said: "Moreno is a predatory paedophile with the singular motive of luring those girls round to his house.
"Once there, he would systematically abuse them on a weekly basis, always in the same way and often while other girls were in the house, sometimes he would also film his abuse.
"The catalogue of his abuse is sickening and his charge sheet is one of the largest I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with."


UK unemployment ticked up to 1.85 million in the April to June period, a rise of 25,000 on the previous quarter.

It is the first time in two years that there have been two consecutive rises in the number of people out of work.
But over the last 12 months employment levels are still markedly higher with 354,000 more people in work than a year earlier.
There has also been a 12% rise in the number of EU nationals who moved to the UK to work over the last year.
However, The Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures also indicated that earnings growth is slowing.
Earnings including bonuses rose 2.4% from a year ago, compared with 3.2% growth in the March to May period.
Excluding bonuses, pay was up 2.8% in the April to June period, unchanged from the previous figure.
ONS statistician David Freeman said: "This is now the second consecutive time we've reported fewer people in work on the quarter.
"While it's too early to conclude that the jobs market is levelling off, these figures certainly strengthen that possibility. Growth in pay, however, remains solid."
The number of EU nationals who moved to the UK to work increased by 250,000 on the same period last year, raising the figure to 1.98 million.
Non-EU nationals working in the UK was little changed at 1.2 million.
The ONS figures showed there were 31.03 million people in work during the quarter, down 63,000 from the January to March period but up 354,000 from a year ago.
The employment rate - the proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in work - was 73.4%, up from 72.8% a year ago.
The unemployment rate in the UK was highest in the North East (8.1%) of England and lowest in the South West (4.4%).
The youth unemployment rate rose marginally to 16% compared with 15.9% in the January to March period, but was down from 16.9% a year earlier.
Some 22.76 million people were in full-time work, the ONS said, up 352,000 from a year ago. The number of part-time workers was 8.27 million, little changed from a year earlier.
John Hawksworth, the PwC's chief economist, said even though employment has fallen back from the previous quarter, regular pay and productivity were growing.
"Overall the picture is one of a continuing economic recovery, led by private sector services. But the balance of growth between jobs and productivity seems to be shifting, which could be good news if it makes the upturn more sustainable."
While the growth in earnings still remains well above the rate of inflation, the weaker-than-expected  pay figure - together with the slight increase in unemployment - pushed the value of the pound down.
Wage growth is one factor the Bank of England has been keeping a close eye on as it considers when to increase UK interest rates.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit said "doves" on the Monetary Policy Committee may see the labour market data as confirmation that the economy has started to slow, but he put it down to skill shortages.
"Some of the weakening in the employment trend is simply due to companies being unable to find suitable staff as skill shortages become increasingly prevalent.
"Recruitment agencies continue to report a marked worsening of staff availability. Note also that the official data showed job vacancies rising in June to one of the highest on record, which is hardly a sign of weakening demand for staff."
The ONS said there were 735,000 job vacancies in the May to July period, which was little changed from the previous three months but 69,000 more than a year earlier.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said: "Thanks to our long term economic plan we have already seen two million more people in jobs since 2010.
"On top of that, today's figures show job vacancies at a near record high - evidence of the continued confidence of British businesses, and potential for further growth in the UK economy."
Stephen Timms, Labour's acting shadow work and pensions secretary, said: "The rise in unemployment for a second month in a row is worrying and shows we cannot afford to be complacent about the recovery.
"With productivity stagnating, David Cameron and George Osborne must take bolder action to raise jobseekers' skill levels to get more back into work and help build the high-skilled workforce Britain needs."
The unemployment figures are based on the Labour Force Survey, in which the ONS speaks to 60,000 households once a quarter, making it the country's biggest household survey.


A heritage railway line has announced plans for a £2m revamp of a Shropshire station.

The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) plans to construct a new station building in Bridgnorth and restore the existing 1862 building.
Last month SVR completed a £250,000 refurbishment of the track between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, including Bewdley Tunnel.
The plans for Bridgnorth also include a new information and exhibition area.
Nick Ralls, general manager of SVR, said: "Most of our passengers begin their journey in Kidderminster and head north to Bridgnorth. We want a fitting destination for them to arrive at."
He added that the station, which reopened in 1970, had not been designed to cope with the line's 250,000 visitors a year.
Mr Ralls said he also hoped to open up Bridgnorth's steam works, where volunteer staff repaired historic steam engines, for other heritage lines across the country.
SVR also plans to build new facilities for its volunteers, including accommodation, showers and a kitchen.
Artist's impressions for the £2m revamp are expected to be ready by April and the initial work could be completed by 2015, he added.
The proposals are part of a 10-year project to bring the line and its stations up to date.


A woman involved in a 1990s sexual harassment dispute with presidential hopeful Herman Cain wants to speak out about the episode, her lawyer says.

Joel Bennett told US media his client was frustrated by a non-disclosure agreement she signed with the National Restaurant Association.
Mr Cain, now a leading Republican contender, headed the lobby group from 1996 to 1999.
He has denied reports that he sexually harassed two women working under him.
In a series of interviews, Mr Cain has described the allegations - first reported by Politico - as "baseless", but has conceded that settlements were reached.
The two women involved are banned from speaking out by the terms of their settlements, reports say.
But Mr Bennett said that at least one of the women now wants to tell her side of the story, and called on the organisation to release her from her agreement.
"It is just frustrating that Herman Cain is going around bad-mouthing the two complainants, and my client is blocked by a confidentiality agreement," he told the Washington Post.
He said he would contact the association's general counsel with a formal request to change the provision.
"I'm going to ask him to send me something in writing which says that they're waiving the relevant paragraphs of the 1999 settlement," Mr Bennett said.
In a statement, the NRA said it would not respond until a formal request was received.
"We have seen media reports that attorney Joel Bennett is publicly making requests on behalf of a former National Restaurant Association employee," said Sue Hensley, a spokeswoman for the association. "If we are contacted by Mr Bennett, we will respond as appropriate."
Mr Bennett told the BBC he would be consulting with his client on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the National Restaurant Association paid $35,000 to one woman as a settlement, equivalent to a year's salary. It was not clear whether the woman was the same woman represented by Mr Bennett.
On Tuesday, Mr Cain has admitted that his interviews since the story emerged may have suggested that he was changing his account of the allegations.
While his campaign had initially denied the substance of Politico's report, Mr Cain said on Tuesday that he had become "gradually able to recall" the events.
Speaking on HLN, a CNN sister channel, Mr Cain conceded that "it looked like I changed my story" throughout a series of media interviews on Monday.

In particular, Mr Cain clarified that he remembered a "separation agreement" was made, versus a "legal settlement".
He described what he remembered of one incident.
"I made a gesture by putting my hand under my chin, standing near this lady, saying: 'Oh, you're the same height as my wife.' My wife is 5ft tall (1.52m), she comes up to my chin and I was simply making that comparison."
"We were in my office, the door was wide open and my assistant was sitting right outside," he added.
But Mr Cain maintains he knows nothing of a second alleged case of sexual harassment.
He told HLN: "I absolutely believe this is an intended smear campaign," designed to stop his recent rise in opinion polls.
Politico's original story on Sunday said that separation packages had been given to the women to leave the National Restaurant Association and not discuss the allegations.
At an appearance at the National Press Club on Monday, Mr Cain said he was "not aware of any settlement".
But later in the day, speaking on PBS, Mr Cain said he did know of an "agreement".
The former head of Godfather's Pizza said the accusations would not interfere with his campaign timetable.
"We're not going to allow these distractions to get us off message."
His campaign told CNN that $300,000 (Â£188,000) in campaign funds were raised on Monday.


A 1958 Pakistani film, considered by critics as the best ever made in the country and boasting a curious collaboration with India, is haunted by its spectacularly jinxed past more than half-a-century later, writes Faizal Khan.

At the 69th Cannes film festival last month, a feature film from Pakistan made a rare appearance in a segment dedicated to airing restored movies.
The Urdu language film Jago Hua Savera, which means The Day Shall Dawn, was screened along with classics such as Russian maestro Andrei Tarkovski's Solaris, French director Regis Wargnier's Indochine and Egyptian auteur Youssef Chahine's Goodbye Bonaparte at the festival, which was held from 11-22 May.
Set in the 1950s in a fishing village, Jago Hua Savera carries a lot of historical baggage.
When director Aaejay Kardar began making the movie in 1958, the political landscape of Pakistan had just begun to change.
General Ayub Khan had become the first military dictator of the country in a coup only months earlier, positioning the country firmly in the American camp during the Cold War.
"Three days before the release of the film, the government asked my father not to go ahead with it," Anjum Taseer, son of producer Nauman Taseer, told the BBC at the screening of the film.
"The government branded the young artists and writers involved in the making of the film as Communists."
It did not help that iconic poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz, who was a known revolutionary, had written the script, lyrics and dialogue of the film.
"Gen Ayub Khan imprisoned my father and many other artists," said Faiz Ahmad Faiz's daughter Salima Hashmi.
It was decided to premiere the film in London, but the military government instructed the Pakistan high commission to boycott the event.
"But on that day, then high commissioner and his wife defied the order," Mr Taseer said.
Inspired by the early works of iconic Indian director Satyajit Ray, Jago Hua Savera is moulded in neo-realism, a genre shaped by Italian greats like Luchino Visconti and Vittorio De Sica.
Shot in black and white on location on the banks of the majestic Meghna river in Bangladesh, then East Pakistan, the film portrays the hardships of a fishing community in Saitnol village near Dhaka, which is at the mercy of loan sharks.
It presents an unusual collaboration between Pakistani and Indian professionals, only a decade after the bloody partition.
Faiz's script was inspired by a story written by popular Bengali author Manik Bandopadhyay. Towering Indian musician Timir Baran, who lived in Kolkata (Calcutta), provided the music.
The only professional actor in the film, Tripti Mitra, was Indian too.
Bengali actor Tripti Mitra and her husband Sombhu Mitra were both members of the Left-leaning Indian People's Theatre Association of the 1940s. With Faiz, Baran and Mitra on board, the producer commissioned British cinematographer Walter Lasally, who later won an Oscar for his work on Zorba the Greek.
"The film is a watershed in the history of Pakistani cinema," says Indian film critic Saibal Chatterjee. "It is the only neo-realism film we know of, from the country. It was lost and those who restored it have done a great job in rediscovering the film."
Given its high aesthetic and production quality and all the publicity it received due to the controversy with the government, Jago Hua Savera should have been a runaway success, but that was not to be.
Within weeks, everybody, including its makers, forgot about the film. A classic that belonged alongside films like La Strada, The Bicycle Thief and Pather Panchali was instead lost to the world of cinema.
Nobody talked about it for another 50 years until two French brothers Philippe and Alain Jalladeau, founders of the Three Continents Film Festival in Nantes, France, decided to screen a retrospective of Pakistani films in 2007.
"It was then that Shireen Pasha (Pakistani documentary filmmaker and head of the department of film at the National College of Arts, Lahore) said you can't have a retrospective of Pakistani films without Jago Hua Zavera," says Philippe Jalladeau.
What followed was a frantic search for a print of the film that took Taseer (his father died in 1996) across Pakistan and Bangladesh, and film archives in the western Indian city of Pune, London and Paris.
One week before the festival, Taseer found some reels of the film with a French distributor, some in London and the rest in Karachi, eventually putting them together for a "showable print".
After the Nantes festival, Taseer took on the task of properly restoring the film and sent a copy to a lab in the Indian city of Chennai. "It took six months to get the copy released by the Indian customs," says Taseer, who then, exasperated by the delay, decided to take the film to London for restoration in 2008 instead. It was finally completed in 2010.
On an unusually warm Sunday morning on 15 May, Taseer joined Faiz's daughter Hashmi and Philippe Jalladeau to present the film in the Bunuel theatre, at the Palais des Festivals venue of Cannes.
The hall was half empty - there were no Pakistani film critics, and only four Indian journalists were present.
But Taseer's and the film's journey are not over. He is aware of the generation gap between the film and today's audience, but is not ready to give up yet.
"I want to show the film in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh," he told the BBC. "The film is a combination of the efforts of the people of the three countries."
He is also aware that the lives of the fishing communities in the three countries have not changed much.
"The fishermen of today have mobile phones, but the same loans," he said.
"There are several young and talented people in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. I want to produce a film on the lives of these fishermen with the help of these talented filmmakers."


Great Britain secured a play-off place at the America's Cup by narrowly defeating France in a thrilling contest at the end of Thursday's racing.

The GB crew had earlier lost to New Zealand and retired with their opponents having already finished.
But a late manoeuvre saw them clinch a crucial victory against France, who had earlier lost to Japan.
Sir Ben Ainslie's Land Rover BAR team now have an unassailable lead over bottom-of-the-table France.
All but one of the six teams taking part of this stage go through - though Team USA, as holders, will skip the next stage of the competition and return for the actual America's Cup matches.
In their first race of the day Britain had been level with the New Zealand boat heading to the first mark but lost their way after a disastrous gybe saw the boat nosedive and turn sharply.
They soon trailed by 350 metres and Ainslie could be heard asking: "What happened? What happened?"
Britain's previous two victories in Bermuda came against Sweden.
Racing continues on Friday - but it is a rest day for the British crew.

Racing had been rescheduled after organisers decided winds on Wednesday were too light to let sailing go ahead in Bermuda.
Japan defeated France by almost six minutes in Thursday's opening race - taking them on to three points, one above the French.
The United States then defeated Japan by more than half-a-minute to move on to seven points at the top of the standings.
The light wind speed made for challenging conditions but Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill produced a tactical masterclass - a change of tack resulting in the American boat transforming a 22-second deficit into a 35-second lead between the fourth and fifth gates.

The first to seven points wins the America's Cup, or the Auld Mug as the trophy is known, with a possible 13 races to be sailed on 17-18 and 24-27 June.
The America's Cup, the oldest competition in international sport, was first raced in 1851 around the Isle of Wight and has only been won by four nations.


A £685m investment could create 560 jobs at a new renewable energy facility in Pembrokeshire.

Cypriot-owned Egnedol has bought the former Gulf refinery at Waterston and the RNAD Blackbridge site in Milford Haven.
It plans to produce green electricity and green liquid fuels from biomass from the base.
A public exhibition is planned for October ahead of a planning application being submitted to the council.
If consent is given and the site proves to be profitable, the company said it will increase investment to up to £1.6bn over the next five years.
Fuel is created by subjecting organic materials, such as wood, to high heat in an oxygen free environment.
The renewable energy facility would see biomass converted into a biogas, which would be used to produce green electricity or green liquid fuels.
It is also hoped that heat captured from this process could be used in food production businesses at the site.
The company's spokesman Phil Johns said: "We believe our proposal for a clean energy facility at Blackbridge and Waterston has the potential to place Milford Haven at the heart of one of the most exciting growth industries in the world - renewables - bringing much needed jobs and inward investment to Pembrokeshire."
The company also hopes to partner with Welsh universities to create a research and development facility on the site.


An art installation featuring life-size human statues on top of university buildings has been criticised.

Students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich claim the figures, by the acclaimed artist Sir Antony Gormley, resemble people contemplating jumping off.
The work is part of an exhibition by the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and will be on display for five years.
UEA said it "is proud" to be hosting "thought-provoking work".
One student told BBC Look East: "I really did think it was someone who was going to jump off a building."
Another student said of the cast iron figures: "I can see why they might startle someone, especially if they haven't been forewarned they're there."
In a statement, UEA said: "The university is proud to be hosting though-provoking work by an artist of such international acclaim.
"The reaction of the university community... has been overwhelmingly positive and we are sure the three figures will become much-loved focal points in our campus landscape."
Gormley is one the UK's leading artists and is probably best known for his Angel of the North.
However, his Event Horizon work  - a touring exhibition which features human forms placed on top of buildings - has previously provoked fearful reactions.
In 2010, police in New York received calls from people who mistook human-shaped sculptures on the top of tall buildings for people about to jump.
There were similar concerns when the work was shown on London's South Bank in 2007 and the project was cancelled in Hong Kong in 2014 because a banker had jumped to his death the same year.


In the arts, 2015 has been a year dominated by worries about money.

With the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) set to be abolished in 2016, there is more uncertainty ahead.
The year began with the department cutting their grant to the Arts Council of Northern Ireland by 11%, or £1.38m.
As the Arts Council is, in turn, the main funding body for many arts organisations, this led to less money for a number of them.
It was the beginning of a rollercoaster year as more cuts followed, which were then reversed, although further cuts seem inevitable in the 2016 budget.
The announcement in October that 32 of Northern Ireland's biggest arts organisations faced in-year cuts of 7% in their Arts Council funding led hundreds of artists, writers, musicians and actors to stage a colourful protest at Stormont.
Politicians from a range of parties turned out in support, and a number of protestors subsequently held a brief meeting with Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín in the Great Hall in Parliament Buildings.
It seemed she listened to their concerns, as a month later she found the money to reverse the £620,000 in-year cut.
However, just before Christmas, DCAL officials warned a Stormont committee that arts organisations would face closure if planned 5% budget cuts in 2016 went ahead.
In October, Northern Ireland, and the world, lost one of the greatest playwrights of his generation.
Although County Tyrone-born Brian Friel was a quiet man who shunned the limelight, his death at the age of 86 led to tributes from across the globe.
Meryl Streep, who starred in the movie of his play Dancing at Lughnasa called him "a tender dramatist, an insightful humanist and a lovely man".
Liam Neeson, who began his career acting in several of Friel's plays at Belfast's Lyric Theatre, called him "Ireland's Chekhov".
His death came only months after the first cross-border festival dedicated to his work took place in Donegal and Belfast.
On the small screen, Game of Thrones, mainly filmed in Northern Ireland, cemented its status as one of the most popular and lucrative TV series in the world with a host of Emmy awards, including for local crew members, sound mixer Ronan Hill and casting executive Carla Stronge.
There was also Bafta success for Northern Irish filmmakers Brian J Falconer, Michael Lennox and Ronan Blaney, for their short film Boogaloo and Graham.
During the year, there were numerous reminders that the arts could create controversy.
In June, renowned flautist Sir James Galway, in Belfast to perform at a BBC Music Day concert, launched a stinging attack on the late Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley, telling the Nolan Show he had planted "thoughts of violence and no surrender in the heads of people who had no more sense".
Comedian Frankie Boyle's appearance at Belfast's Féile an Phobail in August led to protests from a group who claimed his jokes "mock children with disabilities".
Organisers subsequently apologised for "any hurt or offence" caused by booking him.
In November, a painting by the late Belfast artist Joseph McWilliams, which appeared to depict Orangemen wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing, went on show at the Ulster Museum.
The museum and the Royal Ulster Academy resisted calls for it to be taken down.
2015 also saw two of the most memorable concerts in Northern Ireland for many years.
Van Morrison returned to Cyprus Avenue in his native east Belfast for two unforgettable gigs in August, while in November U2 were back in the city for two concerts for the first time since 1998.
They played at the SSE Arena just a few days after attacks in Paris that saw 130 people murdered, and the band's set included a tribute to the victims.
Finally, Londonderry singer-songwriter SOAK, aka Bridie Monds-Watson, continued her rise, winning the Northern Ireland Music Prize as well as a place on the shortlist for the prestigious Mercury Prize, for the best album from the UK and Ireland.
It was a reminder that innovation and excellence in the arts survives, even in a harsh financial climate.


A man has died after he was hit by two cars on the M61 motorway in Salford.

Police said they received reports at 02:05 BST that a Volkswagen struck a pedestrian on the southbound section before a Toyota hit him seconds later.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, near the link to the A580 East Lancashire Road.
The drivers of both cars stopped at the scene and have spoken to officers. Police said no arrests have been made and the case was "extremely complex".
PC Paul Shore, from Greater Manchester Police, appealed for witnesses, saying: "While we do not yet know the identity of the man who tragically died at the scene, we are ensuring our inquiries are carried out quickly and sensitively in order to inform his family at the earliest opportunity."


A World War Two veteran given France's highest bravery award said he would almost rather be back in action than made a fuss over at a ceremony.

Ernest Turner was made a Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Legion d'Honneur for his part in the D-Day landings in a presentation in Ilkeston.
He said he was rather embarrassed by the ceremony and, if he was younger, would prefer to fight on the beaches.
A French representative said they owed their freedom to those involved.
The 90-year-old Derbyshire man said: "It was rather embarrassing really [with all the people there]. I would rather be in action if I'm honest. If I was younger [the beaches] wouldn't worry me."
Talking about his role in the D-Day landings, he said: "I was a gunner on 25 pounders - which was a very small field gun.
"I came as a re-enforcement, and when the 43rd [Wessex] Division arrived I was allocated to them and stayed with them until the end of the war."
Asked about his emotions at the time, he added: "I never thought of anything else, other than just doing what I had got to do."
A letter from the French Embassy informing Mr Turner that he was to receive the country's top honour said: "We must never forget those, like you, who came from Britain and the Commonwealth to begin the liberation of Europe by liberating France.
"We owe our freedom and security to your dedication."
The invasion of France in 1944 was a massive undertaking involving tens of thousands of troops and months of careful planning.
On 6 June Allied forces, carried on the largest armada ever seen, landed on five beaches in Normandy, many facing fierce resistance from the Nazi occupiers.
An estimated 4,413 Allied troops were killed in the operation but 11 months later Nazi Germany was defeated.

Sunderland boss David Moyes says he "deeply regrets" telling a BBC reporter she might "get a slap".

Media playback is not supported on this device
After a draw with Burnley on 18 March, Moyes was asked by Vicki Sparks if the presence of owner Ellis Short put extra pressure on him.
He said "no" but, after the interview, added Sparks "might get a slap even though you're a woman" and told her to be "careful" next time she visited.
"It was in the heat of the moment," said Moyes.
Both Moyes and Sparks were laughing during the exchange and the former Everton and Manchester United manager later apologised to Sparks, who did not make a complaint.
Speaking in a news conference on Monday, he added: "I deeply regret the comments I made.
"That's certainly not the person I am. I've accepted the mistake. I spoke to the BBC reporter, who accepted my apology."
The BBC confirmed that Moyes and Sparks had spoken about the exchange and the issue had been resolved.
A spokesman said: "Mr Moyes has apologised to our reporter and she has accepted his apology."
However, shadow sports minister Dr Rosena Allin-Khan called on the Football Association to get involved.
"This is disgraceful. David Moyes cannot get away with these sexist threats - the FA must take action immediately," she said.
Former England striker and BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker also condemned Moyes' behaviour.
"Moyes incident highlights a tendency for some managers to treat interviewers with utter disdain. Pressured job. Well rewarded. Inexcusable," he said.
A statement from Women in Football said it was "deeply disappointed and concerned" but "pleased that David Moyes has apologised".
It added: "No-one should be made to feel threatened in the workplace for simply doing their job.
"We hope that the football authorities will work with us to educate football managers and those working within the game to prevent this kind of behaviour."
Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League on 20 points, eight points from safety, going into a game at Leicester City.


The Queen's Baton Relay has helped mark 100 years since the birth of Dylan Thomas when it visited Carmarthenshire on its fourth day in Wales.

The baton visited the poet's writing shed in Laugharne, where events are being held to remember him.
It then travelled to Carmarthen and Ammanford leisure centres, before moving on to Llanelli and Carmarthen.
Baton bearers included Welsh tenor and BBC Radio Wales presenter Wynne Evans and weightlifter Non Evans.
The relay is building up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which start on 23 July.
During its first three days in Wales, the baton experienced rain and sunshine, along with cheering crowds and excited children, as it headed from the south Wales valleys to Powys and on to the Urdd Eisteddfod in Bala, Gwynedd.
The baton then headed south west to Carmarthenshire, where festivities and entertainment were laid on as specially chosen baton bearers took it around the county on Tuesday.
In Laugharne, poetry was read as the baton visited Dylan Thomas's former writing shed before it went to Carmarthen Leisure Centre and then Ammanford Leisure Centre, where sporting activities were held.
In the afternoon, a parade will welcome the baton to Llanelli town centre before the relay visits Carmarthen for an evening of entertainment in Nott Square and Guildhall.
BATON RELAY ROUTE IN WALES
•Day four: Laugharne, Carmarthen, Ammanford, Llanelli
•Day five: St David's, Machynlleth
•Day six: Llanberis, Beaumaris, Menai Strait, Caernarfon
•Day seven: Rhyl, Moel Famau, Ruthin, Llandegla
On Monday, former Olympic and Commonwealth Games 400m runner Iwan Thomas was greeted by cheering crowds as he paraded the baton at the Urdd, a touring Welsh language youth festival that attracts around 100,000 visitors each year.
It was the first time the baton had experienced the Welsh sun, after two days of rain over the weekend.
It arrived at Cardiff Airport on Saturday morning and was greeted in the downpours by crowds in Abertillery, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and Merthyr Tydfil.
On Sunday it visited several places in Rhondda Cynon Taf, before heading to Llandrindod Wells in Powys in the evening.
The baton will travel 731 miles (1,176km) in Wales over seven days visiting sights including the summit of Snowdon.
The baton tradition started before the 1958 Cardiff Games and has taken place in some form before every Games since.


The Catholic Church has said it is "dismayed" that plans to merge two primary schools in East Dunbartonshire are to go ahead.

The local council plans to build a new denominational primary school in Bearsden.
It will replace the school which is currently located on the site, along with one in neighbouring Milngavie.
The Scottish government looked closely at the council's plans and is letting them go ahead with them.
Some parents at St Joseph's Primary in Milngavie and the Catholic Church had been fighting the scheme.
It would see St Joseph's Primary merged with St Andrew's Primary in neighbouring Bearsden.
The merged school would be sited in a new building on the current St Andrew's Primary School site.
Earlier this year the government "called in" the proposal to investigate it fully.
When the Scottish government calls in any proposal to close a school, it examines the process followed by the council and the information used to reach the decision.
But it cannot simply overturn a decision because it disagrees with it.
A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Glasgow said: "The Archdiocese strongly opposed the closure of St Joseph's Primary School and the ending of Catholic education in Milngavie.
"We share the dismay of parents, staff and pupils at this decision which will be a hammer blow for many in the affected community."
The chair of St Joseph's Parent Council Laureen McIntyre said: "The Scottish government's decision to give its consent to closure is very disappointing, but we have proven that St Joseph's primary school is a cherished part of our community and we will now consider our options, including a legal challenge."


Leyton Orient dealt Newport County's survival hopes a potentially fatal blow with a 4-0 hammering at Rodney Parade.

Orient took the lead on eight minutes when Steven Alzate tapped home in his first start from Josh Koroma's cross and they never looked back after that.
Sam Dalby's pass then split Newport's defence as Koroma scored his maiden O's goal, before the same duo combined for the third just before the interval.
Koroma sealed the win, and his hat-trick, with a penalty on 64 minutes.
The Exiles remain bottom of League Two, now a daunting 11 points adrift of safety, while Orient are 21st, five points behind Notts County who slipped to 20th.
It was a day to forget for Newport boss Graham Westley on his 49th birthday, with the boss dealing with more boos and jeers from the home fans a week after he was abused by supporters at Mansfield.
However, goalkeeper Charlie Grainger will remember his day fondly as he made just a second appearance in the Football League.
The 20-year old denied Ryan Bird's header acrobatically with the score still level and also repelled an effort by Marlon Jackson by tipping over his curling shot.
Newport were defensively shambolic, with the high line they fielded in the first period being exposed time and again, with Day exposed and helpless to stop the Londoners as the broke at speed.
Teenagers Alzate and Koroma where a constant menace with their speed and three composed finishes before the break effectively won the contest, with Dalby also producing an eye-catching display in midfield, not letting the terrible playing surface dull his range of passing.
The Exiles barely registered an effort on target in the second period, with a stirring comeback never seeming a remote possibility, especially once Mark O'Brien dragged back Alzate and Orient fired home their fourth just after the hour.
Victory provides a huge fillip for Orient, in a week that saw them issued with a winding up petition.
For Newport, the season only looks likely to end in one way now.
Newport County manager Graham Westley told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "It is a devastating defeat, not just the result, but we were low in a lot of commodities.
"We had a lot of the game and a lot of the play, but they were very clinical.
"There was always a lot of work to do. But we need to look at ourselves."
Leyton Orient manager Danny Webb told BBC Radio London: "We are happy, most importantly with an impressive performance.
"Obviously the result is massive. We were clinical on the counter attack and our teenagers played like it was a game in the park."

Almost 70% of primary and secondary schools in the UK now use tablet computers, according to research.

But the study says there is no clear evidence of academic improvement for pupils using tablet devices.
The study, commissioned by education technology charity Tablets for Schools, looked at a representative sample of 671 state and independent schools.
Many pupils reported that they took an internet-connected device to bed to continue social media conversations.
The rapid growth of tablet computers in the classroom was one of the ways in which the study found that young people are immersed in technology at school and home.
Tablets are now being used, at least to some extent, in 68% of primary and 69% of secondary schools, according to the study headed by Barbie Clarke of the Family, Kids and Youth research group.
But researchers found examples of much more intensive use. In 9% of schools, there was an individual tablet device for every pupil.
The highest use of tablet computers was within academy schools - much greater than in independent schools or other types of state schools.
The underlying trend is for an increasing number of tablet computers in schools - among those not using them at present, 45% reported that they would soon be likely to introduce them.
Between 2014 and 2016, the number of tablet computers in schools is expected to rise from about 430,000 to almost 900,000.
But Dr Clarke, formerly of the University of Cambridge's education department, says it is not possible to make a definitive connection between tablet computers and improved results.
Researchers cannot isolate the impact of technology as the specific cause of a rise in attainment.
But Dr Clarke says head teachers reported a positive impact.
And there is evidence that they help to motivate pupils who might otherwise be disengaged - and when pupils take home tablet computers it increases the involvement of families.
Dr Clarke says that the role of technology is going to grow in schools.
"The type of device might change, but it's not going to go away. It will almost seem ridiculous if some of them are not using technology," she said.
A separate study from the National Literacy Trust and Pearson, published on Monday, suggested that touch-screen computers were particularly useful in helping boys and poorer pupils to learn to read.
It showed children in poorer households were particularly likely to read on touch-screen computers rather than printed books.
The study on tablet computers in schools shows how much online technology is part of everyday life for young people.
Within a sample of schools where every pupil has a tablet computer, a quarter of secondary pupils described themselves as internet "addicts".
About two-thirds took a computer device or smartphone to bed with them, used for social media or watching videos.
Findings earlier this year from Ofcom show how tablets have spread quickly within families with children.
It showed about 70% of five to 15-year-olds had access to a tablet at home.
Simon Mason, head of Honywood Community School in Essex, said it was not possible to say whether results are changed by any individual factor, but he is a strong advocate of tablet computers in schools.
Each pupil has an iPad, which remains the property of the school, but pupils can take them home.
Using these computers, he says, is about making sure that the school is in "the current century and not the last".
The benefits are "difficult to put into league tables", he says. But they create a "sense of empowerment" for young people and create an ethos in which pupils can feel "trusted and valued".
Tablets are preferable to laptops, he argues, more portable, the right size, touch-screen and immediately switched on.
The head says that the use of technology in school also reflects the reality of how pupils live at home and what they will find at work.
"I think it's really important that schools function in the way that the world is," said Mr Mason.


A Danish government proposal to seize assets of asylum-seekers to make them pay for their keep has drawn sharp criticism in international media.

Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg said police should be allowed to seize valuables to make them pay for housing, healthcare and some education.
She likened migrants to jobless Danes who must sell assets above a certain level to claim benefits.
Vox described the plan as "cruel" and the Washington Post, "extreme".
Denmark expects to receive around 20,000 asylum seekers this year alone, compared to 15,000 last year, the integration ministry told BBC News.
It further expects about 25,000 next year.
Both the ruling centre-right Venstre party and the right-wing, anti-immigration Danish People's Party back the bill, meaning it should pass by February.
Ms Stoejberg said wedding rings, watches or items "with a sentimental value" should not be taken.
Denmark's integration ministry said in a statement that the bill provided the authorities with the "power to search clothes and luggage of asylum seekers - and other migrants without a permit to stay in Denmark - with a view to finding assets".
The future law will only apply to cash worth more than 3,000 kroner (Â£292; 402 euros; $436) and "tangible assets of a considerable value".
Zachary Whyte, an asylum and integration researcher at the University of Copenhagen, told the Washington Post: "It is pretty telling about the current Danish policies that [some] are not quite sure whether this is a hoax or not."
"Asylum seekers generally do not arrive in Denmark with large amounts of cash and jewellery," he said.
The new government has promised to get tough on immigration since its election in June. It has already slashed benefits for new arrivals and restricted the right to residency.
Thousands of refugees and other migrants have arrived in Denmark this year, many of them in transit to Sweden, after arriving illegally by sea in southern Europe.


The Wedgwood Museum collection has been bought from administrators after £15.75m was raised to save it.

About 80,000 works of art, ceramics, manuscripts, letters and photographs faced being auctioned to help pay off the pottery firm's pension debt.
But a public fundraising campaign launched in September hit its target in just a month.
Adminstrators Begbies Traynor said the collection will remain on display at the museum in Barlaston, Staffordshire.
The Art Fund, which led the campaign, will gift the collection to the Victoria and Albert Museum, before it is loaned to the Wedgwood Museum.
Administrator Bob Young said it had been "incredibly satisfying" to sign off on the sale on Monday.
"Today's fantastic outcome wouldn't have been possible without the spirit of goodwill and determination shown during the often complex negotiations," he said.
The Wedgwood Museum inherited Waterford Wedgwood plc's pension bill after the firm collapsed in 2009.
In 2010 the museum also went into administration, and in 2011 a high court judge ruled its collection could be sold to reimburse the Pension Protection Fund.
Alison Wedgwood, whose husband Tom is a direct descendant of company founder Josiah Wedgwood, said the collection was "important" for Staffordshire.
The collection risked being "sold and scattered around the globe" had the money not been raised, she added.
Tristram Hunt MP, who was involved in the campaign, said the sale was "fantastic news".
"The items contained within the Wedgwood collection chart a significant part of Britain's cultural development over centuries and play a crucial part in defining our national identity today," he said.


As a media organisation getting one scoop can be luck, getting two can be a coincidence, but Japan's weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun had six in the first three months of 2016.

It brought down a minister and a politician, practically destroyed the careers of a popular celebrity and a news commentator and nearly broke up one of Japan's biggest boy bands.
Founded in 1926, it is a tabloid and boasts Japan's largest annual circulation of more than 2.5 million. It has held this top spot for more than a decade.
"To get the scoop, you need to want to get the scoop," said its editor Manabu Shintani, "but Japanese media - newspapers, TV or radio - they are no longer actively looking for it because it's too risky".
It is a worrying trend in a country which has fallen from 11th to 72nd ranking in the World Press Freedom Index in the last six years.
On Tuesday UN rights expert David Kaye wrapped up a visit to Japan by warning of "serious threats" to the independence of the press and a culture of fear among Japanese journalists.
Although Japan has always said freedom of the press is protected, his comments come amid wider concerns about the government's growing influence on mainstream media.
Three of Japan's news presenters, NHK's Hiroko Kuniya, TV Asahi's Ichiro Furutachi and TBS's Shigetada Kishii, were replaced at the start of the financial year in April. Their contracts were not renewed.
Some claim they were replaced because they asked tough questions and were critical of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's administration. There is no evidence to back this, but Mr Kaye's visit to Japan came in the wake of these controversies.
In a recently published essay, Ms Kuniya said "I feel that there is growing pressure to conform," adding that mass media is also complicit.
The relationship between the chiefs of major TV stations and newspapers are closely scrutinised by the public, mostly online, with some observers asking if they are censoring themselves to please the authorities. Some accuse the media of "colluding" with the government, or being "under its thumb".
Communications minister Sanae Takaichi recently said that the government could revoke a broadcaster's license if it repeatedly fails to show political impartiality in its coverage.
The ministry denies this was a veiled attempt at censorship, but the fear is that journalists stick to what Shukan Bunshun's Mr Shintani calls "safe news", such as the government's official announcements.
There is also a financial reality that many media organisations face.
"Getting a scoop takes time and costs money but not all of them become an actual article," Mr Shintani explained.
For example, it took his magazine nearly a year to publish an article about the bribery allegations against the then Economy Minister Akira Amari who later resigned from his position. Mr Amari said he had received money which he wanted declared as a political donation - however, he said some of it had been mishandled by his staff.
There is also a risk of being sued for defamation. The magazine has been taken to court numerous times and it was once ordered to pay 4.4 million yen ($38,760; Â£27,350).
But that has not stopped its 40 journalists from breaking stories. The weekly's investigative skills have long been reputable despite the populist nature of some of its reports.
Others have struck very much at the heart of Japan's political culture.
Back in 1974, it was Shukan Bunshun which reported the bribery allegation of the then prime minister Kakuei Tanaka. It eventually led to his arrest in 1976 and Mr Tanaka was later found guilty for violations of foreign exchange control laws.
Their repeated scoops have raised speculation that the magazine hires a private detective which Mr Shintani flatly denies.
"We may pay 5,000 to 10,000 yen ($46-92; Â£32-64) depending on tips but not much more," he said.
Shukan Bunshun has been winning the scoop battle this year but its rival Shukan Shincho also recently exposed an extramarital affair of Hirotada Ototake, known for publishing a popular book about being born without arms or legs, who had been rumoured to run for parliament.
The story shocked readers, not only because he is a symbol for the disabled in Japan, but also because he has admitted to five affairs.
Some of the so-called scoops have been dismissed as little more than tasteless gossip, but the fact remains the majority of recent exclusives have been broken by such magazines, not newspapers or broadcasters.
So what explains the tabloids getting there first? The finger is often pointed at the journalist clubs which reporters for mainstream media must belong to.
They give them access to government officials and press conferences but foreign media - including the BBC - and freelance journalists are not granted entry, leading to accusations that the authorities are trying to control the information that is reported.
Weekly magazine journalists don't have access either so while they are handicapped in terms of access, they are also freer to write what they like.
"There are lots of debates about how the government is trying to influence media," said editor of Shukan Bunshun, Manabu Shintani.
"But instead of expressing our opinions about it, it is our job to stick to facts and reveal what politicians are up to."
So by mixing big scoops with lots of gossip and pictures of topless girls - similar to that of The Sun's Page 3 girls - the Japanese public gets a different viewpoint and sometimes the real story from a tabloid.


A coroner examining evidence about a fatal pile-up on the M5 in 2011, said he may consider seeking a change in the law to control how close fireworks displays can be held to key roads.

West Somerset Coroner Michael Rose was speaking at a meeting to discuss ways to prevent a similar tragedy happening.
An inquest in April heard that seven people died after their vehicles entered an area of reduced visibility.
The coroner said smoke from a fireworks display nearby did not cause the crash.
However, he said it may have mixed with fog to further reduce visibility.
At the meeting on Tuesday he was told that fireworks display training had improved since the crash.
Mr Rose had prepared a list of recommendations which were discussed at the hearing.
Some ideas he floated included better training for those who stage displays.
He said: "Training of display operators should include instruction on the hazards of operating firework displays during periods of high humidity and after adverse weather."
But the Health and Safety Executive and the British Pyrotechnists Association said tighter regulations for operators would not prevent a repeat of the accident.
Mr Rose also said he was considering calling for no firework displays to be held "within distance of any motorway or Class A road".
He also secured a commitment by the Highways Agency to install more warning signs on the M5 near Taunton to warn of dangers ahead when traffic is slowing down.
The crash happened near junction 25 of the motorway at Taunton in November 2011.
The families of those who died are calling for licenses for fireworks display operators.
Geoff Counsell, the organiser of the fireworks display, was cleared of a health and safety offence last year.
The coroner's draft report had not been previously agreed by the relevant public bodies.
As a result, Mr Rose said he would produce a fresh report within a week taking into account of his view and others, which he will present to the government.


The duty of British schools to arrange daily acts of collective worship should be scrapped, a report says.

The study, for the Arts and Humanities Research Council says such acts, which must be Christian in nature, could discriminate against other religions.
It adds there is no clear rationale for the duty, and that parents are often unaware they can withdraw their children from religious assemblies.
The government said collective worship has an important role in schools.
Schools in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are required to provide daily acts of collective worship and religious observance is required in Scotland.
If the school is a faith school, these acts must be in line with the specific religion.
And in non-religious schools, the acts need to be broadly Christian in character without favouring any particular Christian denomination.
But the report by the University of Leicester urges ministers to re-think the duty.
Based on the contributions of 10 scholars in the UK, it focuses its recommendations on schools that are not religious in nature.
The statutory duty to provide an act of collective worship/religious observance in schools was introduced in 1945 and has been controversial for decades.
Issues include:
The report also highlights how in 2004, the Chief Inspector of Schools for England drew Parliament's attention to the fact that 76% of secondary schools were breaking the law by failing to provide daily acts of worship.
Schools and education authorities should make it clear that parents can withdraw their children from the acts, it recommends.
And it suggests all schools should make public the content of acts of worship so parents can make informed choices.
Schools need to provide alternative activities where opt-outs have been requested, it adds.
The Department for Education said the daily act of collective worship encourages children to reflect on belief, and helps shape fundamental British values of tolerance, respect and understanding for others.
"It is for schools to tailor their provision to suit the needs of their pupils, and parents can withdraw their children from all or any part of collective worship," a spokesman added.
He pointed out that some maintained schools and academies serve communities where the majority of pupils are of a faith other than Christian.
In this situation, a maintained school can ask the local Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (Sacre) to lift the requirement for Christian worship and replace it with worship based on a non-Christian religion, as appropriate.
Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain, chairman of the Accord Coalition which campaigns to end religious selection in schools, said: "The study is only the latest to identify major problems with how the current legal arrangements around school assemblies are working.
"Not only do they fail to properly respect staff, parents and pupils' autonomy and rights but, because many find the current rules unworkable, a culture has been created where a great many schools rarely provide assemblies, if at all.
"If we are to rescue the opportunity for pupils to communally explore and forge shared values, in a way that is workable and respectful, then the government must show leadership and repeal the collective worship laws as a matter of urgency."


Three children are in hospital after a suspected E. coli outbreak in County Durham and Teesside.

Public Health England (PHE) is warning people to not eat any cold pre-cooked meats and savouries bought since 25 June from Robinsons butchers in Wingate and Billingham.
Seven confirmed cases and one suspected one have been reported in the past week in both adults and children, PHE said.
A spokesman for Robinsons said it was discarding all ready to eat food.
PHE said the precautionary advice had been issued to residents in County Durham and North Tees after an investigation began into the possible source of an outbreak of E. coli O157.
Dr Deb Wilson, chairwoman of the outbreak control team, said: "The source of this outbreak is not yet known, however, several of the affected people are known to have eaten cooked meat products bought or supplied by Robinsons' butcher shops in either Wingate or Billingham.
"The owner and staff of Robinsons butchers and caterers are co-operating fully with the investigation and have agreed to discard all ready-to-eat food from both premises while the investigation continues."
The company has agreed to carry out a deep clean of both premises and reinforce good hygiene practices, PHE said.
Anyone who has bought cooked meats or savouries since 25 June and still has them in their fridge or freezer, is advised to throw them away immediately.
E. coli is a species of bacterium which is found in the intestines of animals and humans.
Symptoms of the O157 strain can range from mild diarrhoea to haemorrhagic colitis - a combination of severe abdominal cramps and blood in the stools.


World Rugby have moved to allay fears that Wales's 2017 South Pacific tour is in doubt because of concerns over facilities and medical cover.

Tests were scheduled in Samoa and Tonga in June, but they have confirmed games could yet be moved to New Zealand.
The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) say it wants to play on the islands, but will pursue alternatives if guarantees over player welfare are not met.
"There is no issue with Samoa as a venue," World Rugby told BBC Wales.
Wales are scheduled to play against Samoa on 24 June 2017 at Apia Park, Apia.
The sport's governing body helps tier two countries meet costs of hosting tier one nations.
World Rugby helped with appropriate medical cover when New Zealand played Samoa in Apia in 2015.
A delegation from World Rugby is scheduled to travel to Tonga and Samoa to assess whether facilities in each country are fit for purpose.
"Several other international sides have played in Samoa successfully in recent years," World Rugby explained.
"As regards Tonga, a new venue is due to be constructed there and we need to assess whether it will be completed in time for the fixture to take place as planned.
"In addition, from a due diligence point of view, we will be conducting a site visit in Tonga within the coming weeks to ensure that other facilities in Tonga are of the appropriate level to host a match of this nature.
"This would include accommodation, training facilities and medical provisions. As always, our number-one priority is player welfare.
"No decision has yet been taken on this. By way of contingency, it is possible the match could take place in Auckland if we cannot proceed with Tonga."
The original itinerary for Wales' tour was thought to include a third Test in Fiji, but BBC Wales understands this is no longer part of the schedule.
Fans and travel companies are currently in a state of limbo, with hundreds having registered for the tour.
Wales last toured the Pacific Islands in 1994.
The WRU say it expects a final decision to be made by the end of October.
A spokesman for the Samoan Rugby Union said: "At this stage we can't comment as the match has not yet been confirmed by World Rugby."
The Tongan Rugby Union has also been asked to comment, but has not yet responded.


The final shelters at the Calais migrant camp have been demolished, bringing an end to the "Jungle" camp in northern France.

The last shelters were demolished late on Monday afternoon, leaving just debris to be cleared.
More than 7,000 migrants lived at the camp before evacuation began on 24 October.
However, fears remain for up to 1,500 minors who were living in containers in the now-dismantled camp.
French President Francois Hollande said on Saturday that those children, who have been living in containers in a special part of the camp, would be moved to accommodation centres soon.
For the time being, they remain in the area, while France and Britain continue to argue over where they will be sent. Charity groups said they have been feeding the children and providing water, due to a lack of official support.

Meanwhile, police moved to clear part of a makeshift migrant camp in Paris which expanded in the days following the closure of the jungle camp in Calais.
An area in the north-east of the city saw numbers sleeping rough jump from around 1,500 to an estimated 2,500 in the last week.
The area in Paris, near Stalingrad and Jean Jaures metro stations, is frequently the site of makeshift camps.
Riot police forced migrants back as some tents were cleared on Monday. Police carried out identity checks and cleared a small area, but left the majority of the camp intact.
It is expected that a wider clearance will take place in the coming weeks.
Officials said some of the growth is likely from the dismantled Calais camps.
On Saturday, President Hollande said he would shut down camps in Paris, saying they were "not worthy" of France.
"We cannot tolerate camps," he said. "We will evacuate the camps in Paris because it cannot be a long-lasting solution."
The city has been dealing with similar migrant camps springing up for months, prompting routine clearances by police.


It has swiftly become the most anticipated birth since Prince George made his appearance in 2013.

In fact, the media spotlight is arguably greater.
There were only a few hundred photographers and well-wishers lined up outside the door of an exclusive London hospital's doors three and a half years ago, while this expectant mother is being closely watched at any one time by tens of thousands of people.
The only difference? The much-longed-for newborn is a giraffe - and one which is not afraid to take its time making an entrance.
When the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, almost 200 miles north-west of New York, decided to put a live stream of mum-to-be April's pen on to YouTube in February, they were hoping to inspire the community by capturing the birth on camera.
Although it will be a fourth calf for April, 15, it is a first for the zoo, and so they were understandably excited. But it's unlikely they anticipated the level of interest.
As of Friday morning, UK time, the latest live stream - set up on 24 February - has had almost 20 million views, with the accumulative time racked up by viewers equating to a somewhat staggering 1,036 years.
This means millions of people have spent a total of millennium - the same amount of time it took the world to go from the Dark Ages to putting a man on the moon - watching literally nothing happen.
This is despite promises that the baby giraffe could turn up at any minute - and people are starting to get a little twitchy.
"The timeline is obviously wrong a little bit wrong," conceded Jordan Patch, the park's owner, in a Facebook Live video earlier this week.
"We observed breeding behaviour in about mid-October (2015). It does not mean just because they bred, they conceived.
"If anything, maybe we missed a cycle. Cycles are every 17 days, so maybe 17 days past what we thought was the due date. Or maybe 34 days after that."
In the same video, Mr Patch also made an impassioned plea to the thousands of people emailing the zoo with their concerns - which ranged from what happened if the calf was in the wrong position, to what April was being fed - to stop writing in, as they simply did not have the manpower to cope with the influx.
The zoo has also been hit with other problems since starting the live feed. Notably, the video was removed from YouTube after complaints it was sexually explicit. After it was put back up, a spokesman for the park blamed the complaint on extreme animal rights activists.
There is of course an upside to all this publicity: a Go-Fund Me page has raised $25,725 (Â£21,039) for the new family - including first time dad Oliver, five - in just seven days.
But while the world waits for April's calf to finally turn up - and after a 15-month gestation period, one can only imagine she is among the most keen for it to be over - another giraffe decided to take its opportunity.
Dobby arrived at Denver Zoo on Tuesday, taking keepers somewhat by surprise. They had only recently realised mum Kipele was pregnant - she had been on birth control.
But the giraffe - who was only five feet (1.52m) tall and 73 pounds (33kg) at birth - has not had the easiest start to life, needing a plasma infusion in order to boost his immune system.
April's calf is expected to be as tall as six feet (1.82m) and 150 pounds (68kg) when he or she finally arrives.
However, when that will be is anyone's guess...


Sunday afternoon's meeting at Plumpton has been called off after the third race following rain on the track.

The course had passed an inspection shortly before racing, but a decision was taken to abandon the rest of the card after a second check.
Jockey Andrew Thornton told At The Races: "We're all for racing, but unfortunately the water is as much as a foot deep in places.
"It's getting worse and the rain doesn't look like stopping."
Nicky Henderson-trained L'Ami Serge had earlier galloped through the desperately wet conditions on his debut over fences to win the At The Races App On iPhone Novices' Chase by 27 lengths from Doctor Harper.

England have taken "big strides forward over the last eight months", said captain Alastair Cook after his side eased to a 241-run victory in South Africa on Wednesday.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The visitors claimed six wickets for just 38 runs on day five to win the first Test in Durban.
England regained the Ashes this summer but lost to Pakistan last month, winning six of their 14 Tests in 2015.
"Potentially this team can do some really good things," Cook said.
"There's so much talent in this side but it will take relentless hard work."
Cook said the tourists will have to guard against a South Africa backlash in the next match, starting on Saturday in Cape Town, where England have not won since 1957.
"It can turn very quickly. They have world-class players so we can't get too carried away," he said.
"But it would be nice to get our noses ahead again and to continue to put pressure on South Africa."
Nick Compton's grandfather Denis played in that 1957 victory by 312 runs, and Cook was full of praise for the current England number three's patient 85 from 236 balls in Durban. He had been out of the Test team since May 2013.
"The way Nick played really set up the first innings," Cook said. "He was a rock for us in that first innings. From that moment on, the guys bowled particularly well to take 20 wickets and we scored enough runs in the second innings."
James Anderson, England's leading Test wicket-taker, missed the Durban Test with a calf injury, but was seen bowling at the ground before the final day began.
Asked about the swing bowler's chances of being fit for Cape Town, Cook said: "He has had a tough week, bowling a lot and doing rehab. Hopefully he'll be fit.
"He is hopeful of playing and it's looking good but we'll know in the next 48 hours.
"We know what a strong side South Africa are in home conditions - but we're really prepared for this tour."
Meanwhile, England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow was delighted to claim the team's first stumping for 38 Test matches when he dismissed Temba Bavuma, having spilled a chance to stump AB de Villiers the previous day.
"It doesn't necessarily make up for it because I was desperately disappointed to miss it. You work so hard on your game that when the opportunity arises you like to take it," he told BBC Test Match Special.
"To get another one and get into the game was really pleasing and something I can take forward."
Asked about South Africa's batting frailties, he said: "They are not the number one side in the world for nothing and have proven over a long period how good they are.
"We've got to be mentally and physically prepared for what is going to be a very tough battle in the New Year Test match."


Australia's Nick Kyrgios said he is "100%" optimistic about playing at Wimbledon despite withdrawing from the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club because of injury.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 22-year-old was playing American Donald Young in the first round when he slipped and fell at the baseline.
After courtside treatment to his hip, Kyrgios continued until the tie-break but retired after Young took it 7-3.
Kyrgios withdrew from recent events in Monte Carlo and Rome with a hip injury.
"It just was a sharp pain when I fell," said the world number 20.
"I started feeling it when I was walking, when I was landing on my serve. It's exactly what I was feeling in Paris. I mean, it's tough to play through."
He added: "I felt pretty much everything I was feeling a month ago. It's not great at the moment. But we'll see."
Asked about his chances of recovering in time for Wimbledon, which gets under way on 3 July, Kyrgios said: "I'd play Wimbledon if I was injured pretty bad anyway.
"I'm here anyway. I don't really have time to go home or anything. Yeah, I will be playing, for sure."
And the Australian joked that the enforced lay-off meant he might spend the coming days at a pub in Wimbledon village.
"Dog & Fox," he replied, when asked for his immediate plans.
Kyrgios beat Rafael Nadal on his way to the Wimbledon quarter-finals three years ago, and lost to eventual champion Andy Murray in the fourth round last year.
"This is a big tournament but I think when you've got Wimbledon, or any of the Grand Slams, looming, you don't hang in there," former Davis Cup captain John Lloyd told BBC Sport.
"With Wimbledon coming, you can't take any chances."
