An African American congressman who represents Kansas City, Missouri, said he has received an "avalanche of mean-spirited phone calls" - including from "N-word sickos" - since hackers allegedly leaked the cell phone numbers and other personal information of nearly all Democrats in the House of Representatives last week. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said in a statement to ABC News that his cell phone number and other personal information were released in the alleged leak on Aug. 12. Cleaver has changed his phone number and has ramped up security at his personal residence because his home address was also made public, according to his spokesperson.

Florida-based Moon Express was granted permission by the United State government to undertake a robotic lunar landing in 2017, marking the first time a non-governmental entity has been afforded such approval.

Despite negative news coverage and an uproar on social media, Trump's remarks may have little effect on his standing in the polls.
