Newly released State Department emails shed light on top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s close dealings with Clinton Foundation matters while she was working at the State Department – as well as aides' frustration with their boss’s email practices.

A homemade gun allegedly exchanged in a gun buyback program. (Miesota Gun Owners Caucus) A Mieapolis gun buyback program targeting weapons used in street crimes may be shooting blanks, as detractors said a Saturday collection mostly took in antiquated, unused or homemade arms from legal owners and did little to thin the firearm supply actually available to dangerous criminals. Two Mieapolis locations collected about 150 firearms Saturday, but both exchanges were forced to shut down several hours early when officials ran out of Visa gift cards – $25,000 worth, The Mieapolis Star Tribune reported. And at least some of that money helped finance the purchase of even more guns. One anonymous ...

A Monmouth University Poll released Wednesday showed Clinton holding onto just a 2-point lead in North Carolina. She leads Trump 44-42 percent in the state, while Johnson is pulling 7 percent. The poll also shows Trump with a double-digit lead among independents. North Carolina is one of several battleground states considered critical to Trump’s hopes of capturing the presidency in November. He still trails in most s...

In the course of the campaign, Donald Trump has taken his whacks at Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and, yes, Bill Clinton. But this time feels different. The Republican nominee is, of course, entitled to defend himself against Khizr Khan, who took the stage at the Democratic convention and denounced him as an anti-Muslim bigot. But the way in which he has done it has fueled the story. There is no question that Khan, whose soldier son was killed in Iraq, provided a heartbreaking moment in Philadelphia. Trump had nothing to do with his son’s wartime death, of course, but Khan took his pro...
