Less than a month after receiving a $200,000 donation from mega-donors Robert and Diana Mercer, the super PAC backing Senator John McCain's Republican primary opponent, Kelli Ward, reported paying $450,000 to Cambridge Analytica, the 'psychographic' data firm owned by Robert Mercer. Ward has been largely unable to persuade donors and outside groups to make significant investments in her long-shot candidacy, so the Mercers' $200,000 donation to KelliPAC on July 22 was notable.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called on pharmaceutical company Mylan NV to voluntarily drop the price of its severe allergy treatment drug EpiPen, which has increased in price by more than 400 percent in the past decade. "That's outrageous - and it's just the latest troubling example of a company taking advantage of its consumers," Clinton said in a statement.
With all the attention being paid to the Clinton Foundation, a much bigger and more troubling story about Hillary Clinton is largely being ignored - a dramatic and potentially damaging shift on trade. Last October, when Clinton signaled her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, the Democratic presidential candidate said that while the version of the TPP negotiated by the Obama administration fell short, she still believed "in the goal of a strong and fair trade agreement in the Pacific as part of a broader strategy both at home and abroad."

CHICAGO – Higher prices and fewer choices on the Illinois marketplace under President Barack Obama's health insurance law will make choosing a plan for 2017 a potentially frustrating experience for families who buy their own coverage, according to information released Wednesday by the Illinois Department of Insurance. Statewide, an average price increase of 43 percent is ahead for a popular type of middle-tier coverage used as a benchmark under the health law, the department said.

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.
