The Republican nominee’s recent choice of Steven Bannion, a firebrand conservative, as his new campaign chief showed Trump was embracing the extremist white nationalist stances of the so-called “alt-right” movement, she said.

Bill Clinton announced this week that if his wife is elected, the foundation will accept only Usa contributions, that he will step down from the board and will no longer raise funds for the charity.
Her speech came on a day when one poll showed her support reaching an important threshold – backing from just over half of all respondents. “Don’t be fooled” by Trump’s efforts to rebrand, she told voters Thursday, saying the United States faced a “moment of reckoning”.
Trump has recently attempted to enlarge his tiny base of support among blacks – it has been as low as 1 percent – arguing that African Americans have “nothing to lose” by voting for him.
Now Trump is trying to soften his hard-line program.
Clinton campaign spokesman Robby Mook told MSNBC on Wednesday that Clinton does not have a conflict of interest with charitable work, and pointed to her rival’s tangled business interests with Wall Street, China and Russian Federation. The people who gave the money knew exactly what they were doing.
Pushing back, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said the AP report relied on “pretty flawed methodology” and said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday that Clinton was being held to a different standard than other politicians with charitable work.
“This is among the strongest and most unmistakable pieces of evidence of what we’ve long suspected: at Hillary Clinton’s State Department, access to the most sensitive policy makers in USA diplomacy was for sale to the highest bidder”, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.

He reiterated calls to build a wall on the southern U.S. border with Mexico in a bid to stop illegal immigration, a structure he said Mexico would pay for.
Also in Karl’s report was a one minute 38 second bit on Donald Trump’s flip-flop on immigration.
Giving in to the persistent urging of party leaders, Trump has begun relying more on a TelePrompter, allowing for fewer troublesome off-the-cuff remarks.
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night defended the Clinton Foundation and responded to Donald Trump’s accusation that the foundation “sold access” to Clinton while she was secretary of state.
The comments are Clinton’s first addressing the concerns that have been raised by newly released emails showing foundation staff inquiring with Clinton’s staff at State about securing meetings for top contributors.
“The corruption was revealed for all to see”.
Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into a protection racket.
The USA Today wrote “Mothball the Clinton Foundation” in its editorial.
