Ahead of campaigning in Ohio on Saturday, President Donald Trump unleashed a withering attack on the state's favourite son, savaging LeBron James in a late-night tweet that derided the intelligence of one of the nation's most prominent African-American men.

Dan Pfeiffer, former assistant and senior adviser to President Barack Obama, thinks he knows the exact date the modern era of fake news was born: April 27, 2011. "I had walked into the briefing room that morning with 50 copies of Barack Obama's birth certificate," Pfeiffer recalls in a memoir, " Yes We Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump ," set to be published next week.
A series of seemingly authoritative assertions in recent weeks about the shape and scope of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election interference has helped define it in the public eye, generating countless headlines and cable chyrons about the ongoing saga that has shadowed President Donald Trump's White House. They were made by Rudy Giuliani, the president's attorney, who has used a media blitz to frequently set - and later move - the goalposts of the investigation, making public declarations about the probe to color its perception among voters and lawmakers, all while confident that Mueller will never speak up to correct him.

The campaign of Mike DeWine calls out Mary Taylor as a "phony conservative" in a new TV commercial underlining a $1 million media buy ahead of the Republican gubernatorial primary on May 8. The 30-second DeWine spot, which will air statewide on broadcast TV, cable TV and radio buy, paints the lieutenant governor as a "career politician" who refused to endorse President Donald Trump, supported Medicaid expansion as part of Obamacare - "then lied about it" - and claims "she used used your tax dollars to benefit her family business." The commercial concludes: "Lt.
Mark Zuckerberg faced two days of grilling before House and Senate committees Tuesday and Wednesday to address Facebook's privacy issues and the need for more regulation for the social media site. Yet the hearings in Washington managed to showcase the normally press-shy Zuckerberg's ability to perform as an able and well-rehearsed, if a bit stiff, CEO of one of the world's biggest companies - and the degree to which much of Congress appears befuddled about technology and the relevant issues.
