A CNN report claimed the US Secret Service has spoken to the GOP nominee’s campaign about the Second Amendment comments.

No doubt much to their disappointment, Clinton’s 2015 tax information provides no major mudslinging ammunition for the Republican Party or the Trump campaign. Over 60% of the Clintons’ $10.6 million income comes from speeches.
“Words matter my friend, and if you are running to be president or you are president of the United States words can have tremendous consequences”, Mrs Clinton said.
Clinton’s campaign also released 10 years of years of returns from running mate Tim Kaine and his wife, Anne Holton.
The filing shows that the Clintons paid a federal tax rate of 34.2 percent in 2015.
As for taxes, the former secretary of state responded directly to Trump’s new proposal by calling it “the Trump Loophole”, arguing that it would allow him to pay a lower rate than middle class families.
The group said one email shows the Clinton Foundation asking for Clinton staffers at the State Department to put a billionaire foundation donor in touch with a “key” figure in an overseas post.
Republicans have expressed frustration that this story was dominating the political coverage, when Mr Trump could have been attacking Mrs Clinton for emails that have just been released by conservative group Judicial Watch.
While also avoiding mentions of gun rights supporters, Trump focused instead on the state of manufacturing in the USA and regulations on the coal industry.
Donald Trump will campaign in an unlikely venue: deep-blue CT.
Last year Hillary and Bill Clinton released all of their tax returns from 2007 to 2014.
“We’re having a problem”, Trump told the ministers, adding that the next president could get to nominate up to five high-court justices.
It’s probably not helped by the fact that The Donald has dragged his feet on releasing his tax returns and now doesn’t plan to do so until after the election. These rumors have been partly fueled by Trump’s foray into the casino industry and the associations he has formed in the process. Perhaps Trump’s unsavory relationships would be revealed on his tax return. The concerns are compelling enough that dozens of anxious Republicans gathered signatures Thursday for a letter urging the GOP party chairman to stop helping Trump and focus on protecting vulnerable House and Senate candidates.
Others have suggested that Trump’s association with Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin are much closer than anyone imagines.
On Monday, The New York Times published an in-depth story about campaign manager Paul Manafort titled “Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Top Trump Aide”.

Manafort has worked for or with a number of Putin associates in both Russian Federation and the Ukraine. He can bring his tax return. She focused her criticism on Trump’s tax cuts, which she said would benefit his businesses and other wealthy people like him. But given his frequent refusals and the possibility that the release of his tax return would reveal things Trump would rather we didn’t know, it seems unlikely he will release this document anytime soon.
