As allegations swirl about whether Hillary Clinton is healthy enough to be commander-in-chief, she faced late night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel, who flat-out asked her if she was “fit” for office.
“These latest emails are further evidence that Mrs Clinton set up her private server to prevent the public from seeing how Hillary and Bill mixed public power with their personal financial and political ambitions via the family foundation”, The Wall Street Journal said in a lead editorial.
The reports have been dismissed by Clinton as “conspiracy theories” by rival candidate Donald Trump and by the 68 year-old’s doctor who declared her “fit to serve as President of the United States”.

“He seems very genuine”, she said. The last time Clinton made a campaign stop in Northern Nevada was in February.
Clinton also leads over Trump among Hispanic voters, 73 per cent to 22 per cent and with Asian-American voters, 66 per cent to 23 per cent. “And I am drawing on my experience in elementary school”, Clinton said.

“It’s time for Hillary Clinton to come clean about the Clinton Foundation”, Pence said to applause from an audience at Modern Companies Inc., which cuts metal and other materials. “The Clinton Foundation must be immediately shut down and an independent special prosecutor be appointed to determine if access to Hillary Clinton was for sale”, Pence stated in a press release on Tuesday afternoon.

Perhaps not, but it certainly appears that donors to her foundation received special access to the inner circle of the State Department.
