Republican Vice presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence calls on Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “to come clean about the Clinton Foundation”, as he also highlighted reports about thousands of emails under review while Clinton served as Secretary of State.

“We’ve going to build a wall folks, don’t worry, we’re going to build a wall, he said. That wall will go up so fast your head will spin”, Trump said.
Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday that he’s “not flip-flopping”, but wants to come up with “a really fair, but firm” solution.
The spot effectively portrays just how unsafe Donald Trump would be as commander-in-chief as he has repeatedly proposed reckless foreign policies, claims he knows more about ISIS than the generals, and says he gets his military advice from “the shows”.
Since he entered the presidential race a year ago, Trump insisted the estimated 11 million immigrants already living in the United States illegally would have to be expelled from the country, despite the logistical and humanitarian questions a mass deportation would present. “Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot”.
Any backtrack would mark a dramatic reversal for Mr Trump.
“I said that it’s something that has been done in a very strong manner”, Trump said, explaining why he had originally referenced the historic deportations.
“What Donald Trump says is we need a fair and effective way to deal with the 11 million who are here, who live among us”, Conway said on CNBC on Monday.
A campaign official not authorized to publicly discuss Trump’s plans said it was being postponed, likely until next week, but did not say why.
The United States has long deported illegal immigrants who are violent criminals, and Obama’s administration has focused on targeting “felons, not families”. People who attended say that Trump asked for suggestions on a “humane and efficient” way to handle people already living in the country illegally, including a way to put millions of undocumented immigrants on a path to legal status and citizenship.
Katie Packer, a Republican strategist who founded a political consulting firmed aimed at appealing to Republican women, said that Trump has a history of seizing on his rivals’ perceived weaknesses. “Bill, you’re the first one to mention “detention centre”. In the latest revelations, the State Department said Monday it is reviewing almost 15,000 previously undisclosed emails.
For the better part of two decades, the invocation of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” against the Clintons – as Clinton famously called it when allegations of sexual misconduct engulfed her husband’s administration – has elicited eye rolls even among some of the couple’s allies.
“There is absolutely no connection between anything that I did as secretary of state and the Clinton Foundation”, Clinton said in a statement last month.
The ex-president said in the event of another Clinton presidency, the foundation’s work, funding and his role in it would raise questions that would need to be resolved “in a way that keeps the good work going while eliminating legitimate concerns about potential conflicts of interest”.
