Democrat Hillary Clinton on Saturday received her first national security briefing since accepting her party's nomination for the presidency last month.

" Seven months after a federal judge ordered the State Department to begin releasing monthly batches of the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, the government told The Associated Press it won't finish the job before Election Day. The department has so far released about half of the schedules.
From Jerusalem to Beirut to Cairo, the upcoming US elections are being closely followed, partly for their entertainment appeal, but also as the US remains crucial for its role in the Middle East. "Partly because of the characters involved, there has been a lot of media coverage here," Tamir Sheafer, a professor of political science at Hebrew University told The Media Line.
When I wrote the headline "Hillary's heel," I was thinking of Achilles, not Bill, though the former president is usually within nipping range of his wife's pantsuit hem. Hillary Clinton's Achilles' heel is her very Clinton-ness.
Former President Bill Clinton says he's proud of people who have donated to the Clinton Foundation and the work the organization has done, as he waded into a dispute that Republicans are hoping will damage his wife's presidential campaign. "We're trying to do good things," Bill Clinton said Wednesday.
"The Clinton Foundation is considering exceptions to its plan to stop accepting corporate and foreign donations and reduce family involvement as a way to insulate Hillary Clinton from potential conflicts of interest if elected president," the Wall Street Journal reports. "As recently as this summer, the foundation was discussing with some allies plans for Chelsea Clinton to leave the board, along with former President Bill Clinton, if Mrs. Clinton should win.
Chelsea Clinton plans to stay on the board of the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Clinton is elected president in November, a spokeswoman for the younger Clinton told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. That follows an earlier report this week that said the Clinton family would wind down some of the foundation's activities if Hillary Clinton wins the White House.
Hillary Clinton is sidestepping new questions about nearly 15,000 recently discovered emails or her family's charitable foundation - a stay-the-course strategy sure to be tested in the sprint to Election Day. Clinton has no immediate plans - in an interview or a news conference - to explain the FBI's discovery of another batch of emails or personally clarify how her administration would wall off the organization founded by her husband, former President Bill Clinton , if she's elected president.
After Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Bill Clinton received $17.6 million in payments from a for-profit university. Since that time, another organization with a connection to that university received almost $90 million in grants from an agency that's part of the State Department.
Bill Clinton accepted nearly $20 million in payments from a prominent for-profit education company, despite the fact that his wife, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, has made criticism of such firms a cornerstone of her education policy proposals, a new report alleges. The former president took at least $17.6 million from Laureate International Universities, a large for-profit education conglomerate that runs at least 80 schools and universities across the world, in exchange for a five-year role as "honorary chancellor," NBC News reported.
Donald Trump, after weeks of self-inflicted damage, has seen support for his candidacy in national polls dip into the 30s - Barry Goldwater and Walter Mondale territory - while Hillary Clinton has extended her lead to double digits in several crucial swing states. The vote may be more favorable to Trump than the worst-case-scenario prognosticators suggest for a very simple reason: Landslides do not really happen in presidential elections anymore.
More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money - either personally or through companies or groups - to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
Hillary Clinton's connections between her political life and the global foundation that she and her husband launched are being questioned in light of her presidential bid. Changes to the way the Clinton Foundation operates have started to emerge in recent days and the extent of those changes depends on the fate of the November election.

Hillary Clinton was confronted by a new round of questions about potential conflicts of interest between her family's foundation and her work at the State Department as well as the prospect that more e-mails from her private account will be released right up to the November election. Separate lawsuits brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch spurred the release Monday of previously undisclosed e-mail exchanges between a former Clinton Foundation executive and top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, as well as an order from a federal judge that the State Department expedite its review of almost 15,000 previously undisclosed documents the FBI recovered from Clinton's private e-mail servers.
For more than a decade, lawmakers have been pointing at their counterparts to take the blame for what just about everyone agrees is a broken immigration system. Republicans say President Barack Obama's immigration enforcement policies encourage more people to sneak into the country.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has uncovered nearly 15,000 new emails to or from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton when she served as secretary of state, and a federal judge has ordered a speedy release of the emails. Lawyers for the State Department suggested to begin the release of the emails by Oct. 14. However, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg of Washington rejected the proposal, ordering the State Department to prioritize Clinton's emails and to return to court on Sept.
Once again, the Clinton Foundation popped up to give the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton a nosebleed. A batch of emails turned up by a conservative activist group's FOIA requests revealed, in the words of the Wall Street Journal , "new examples of a Clinton Foundation official seeking access to the State Department on behalf of donors at a time when Hillary Clinton led the department."
Former President Bill Clinton defended the work of his charitable foundation Monday, telling supporters that it had "improved millions of lives around the world" but needs to change if his wife, Hillary Clinton, wins the White House. The former president outlined the Clinton Foundation's accomplishments and planned shift in scope in an email to about 500,000 supporters.
