A statement from the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that it is “investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC”, adding that “a compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously”.

Watch how he’s introduced: Hillary Clinton has joked that she’s still working on what to call her husband if she’s elected, offering “first dude” and “first mate” as possibilities.
