Manafort has denied impropriety.

He also blamed President Barack Obama for tolerating the rise of the extremist group and undermined his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as incapable of launching the war on terrorism.
Clinton’s campaign has called for full disclosure of any ties between pro-Russia entities and Manafort or anyone else from Trump’s team.
The campaign shake-up, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, comes as polls show Trump trailing Clinton nationally and in key battleground states following a hard campaign stretch that saw him insulting the Muslim parents of a U.S. Army soldier who died in Iraq and temporarily refraining from endorsing Ryan in his primary race.
Trump also tackled the “false narrative” that police are the problem. Bannon is a former Goldman Sachs banker and does not bring presidential campaign experience to Trump’s White House bid.
Trump received the briefing Wednesday afternoon in a secure room at a Federal Bureau of Investigation office in New York City.
“Anyone who can not condemn the hatred, oppression and violence of radical Islam lacks the moral clarity to serve as our president”, Trump said, adding that Clinton lacks “the judgment, the temperament and the moral character to lead [the] nation”.
He declared aloud what nearly everyone secretly knows, that the horrifying condition of black people in urban America is at least partly, probably largely, the fault of the media’s darling, the Democratic Party.
Democrats, he claimed, have pushed policies that exacerbate poverty and crime.
Clinton’s campaign did not respond late Tuesday to a request for comment.
“A vote for anyone other than Donald Trump is de facto a vote for Hillary Clinton”. Since the Republican National Convention, the Trump campaign has struggled to rally African-American support. A Los Angeles Times poll had Clinton beating him among black voters by a margin of 89 percent to 5 percent.
At the beginning of this presidential race, Donald Trump had some pretty cut-and-dry foreign policy proposals: build a wall to keep the Mexicans out, ban the Muslims from coming in, and almost one year later, not too much has changed.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump is using new language to talk about how he’d make decisions as president. He says, “They’re terrific people, they’re winners, they’rechamps, and we need to win it”.
“We have our police who do a phenomenal job and in this case a gun was pointed at his head, I guess, and I assume the tapes are going to be revealed at some point, and can sometimes be a very good thing”.
“Don’t be complacent my friends because even though, we’re doing fine right now, I’m not taking anybody, anywhere for granted”.
FBI Director James Comey said last month investigators determined Clinton’s actions were “extremely careless” but that there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

Yet at least 110 Republicans, including two retiring GOP congressmen, Scott Rigell and Reid Ribble, say Trump is a lost cause, signing a letter urging the committee to abandon Trump.
