My biggest question when I picked it up was: Did Hillary stiff the writer out of the final payment as she did Barbara Feinman , real author of It Takes a Village ? You don't have to read any further than the cover of the book to answer the question posed by its title: What Happened : Hillary Clinton.
President Donald Trump on Sunday mocked the leader of nuclear-armed North Korea as "Rocket Man" while White House advisers said the isolated nation would face destruction unless it shelves its weapons programs and bellicose threats. Trump's chief diplomat held out hope the North would return to the bargaining table, though the president's envoy to the United Nations said the Security Council had "pretty much exhausted" all its options.
Credit agency Equifax traced the theft of sensitive information about 143 million Americans to a software flaw that could have been fixed well before the burglary occurred, further undermining its credibility as the guardian of personal data that can easily be used for identity theft. Equifax identified a weakness in an open-source software package called Apache Struts as the technological crack that allowed hackers to heist Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and full legal names from a massive database maintained primarily for lenders.

Funding for Great Lakes restoration was approved by the U.S. House Thursday as part of its $1.2 trillion spending plan for the federal government next year. The $300 million in funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which houses annual spending for Great Lakes toxic sediment removal and invasive species management through the Environmental Protection Agency, was included despite efforts from President Donald Trump's administration to cut funding for the program entirely.
Sen. John McCain said Thursday the Senate could not overcome an impasse on debates and voting for controversial amendments to its 2018 defense policy bill, including a measure to eliminate sequestration.

Democrats in the House and Senate said Thursday they had a deal with President Trump to protect immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, but passing that "deal" through Congress still faces significant hurdles. By Thursday afternoon, three major problems emerged with the supposed deal described by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. First, Pelosi said Democrats are angling to pass a "Dream Act" bill from Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., that would give so-called Dreamers a path to permanent resident status in the U.S., and even U.S. citizenship.
