The former president pushed back on criticism that donors to the Clintons Foundation engaged in a “pay-to-play” scheme, whereby donations to the foundation bought influence with Hillary Clinton during her term as Secretary of State.

Host Bill O’Reilly directly asked the Republican nominee if he plans on attacking Clinton’s marriage if she chooses to criticize Trump’s own past relationships. He did not give specifics.
But the Republican has faced questions about why he told a rally in Colorado about the bombing in NY before local authorities had confirmed details of the explosion.
When I am President, terrorists like today’s suspect in the NY and New Jersey bombings, Ahmad Khan Rahami, and yesterday’s knife-wielding ISIS sympathizer in Minnesota, Dahir Adan, will be stopped. As many as six explosive devices were found in nearby Elizabeth, New Jersey, and a pipe bomb exploded near a New Jersey shore town further south.
Police released a photo of a 28-year-old immigrant wanted for questioning in the blasts. Now we must defeat radical Islamic terrorism.
He claimed credit on Friday for ending to the controversy that he stoked, falsely insisting that Clinton was responsible.
ISIS is another acronym for the Islamic State group.
Hillary Clinton briefly turned her focus from national security on Monday, wooing younger voters at a midday rally in Philadelphia.
Trump, who has in the past talked of the need for a resumption of harsh interrogation tactics like waterboarding for terrorism suspects, said authorities need to “get information” from the bombing suspect “before it comes no longer timely”, but that instead he would probably be coddled.
At a speech in Philadelphia on Monday, Clinton called for vigilance.
Clinton said the attacks were “a serious challenge” that the country can meet in “concert with our values” and said she has been in favor of “tough vetting”.
As a NY senator she voted for the Iraq War, which lacked United Nations endorsement and destroyed the Iraqi state, giving rise to a Sunni insurgency, costing thousands of American and Iraqi lives and trillions of dollars.
“You see a Republican nominee for president who incites hatred and violence like we’ve never seen before in any campaign”.
Mrs. Clinton reminded the public of the millions of naturalized citizens in the United States from all over the world who are law-abiding, peaceful citizens.
Following the bombings in the NY and New Jersey area, Donald Trump condemned political correctness while hunting for terrorists on Monday morning, and mocked America’s “stupid” leaders.

Anticipating Mr. Trump’s response, Mrs. Clinton intensified her argument that his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country and enable law enforcement to use racial and religions profiling only helped ISIS and its sympathizers. “Our country’s been weak”.
