U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejected the state department's justification that such material should be held back under exemption of the Freedom of Information Act .

The U.S. government has long warned that Russian organized crime posed a threat to democratic institutions, including "criminally linked oligarchs" who might collude with the Russian government to undermine business competition.

There was a particularly significant moment Wednesday as FBI Director James Comey forcefully defended his decision to disclose, just days before the election, that he'd reopened the investigation of Hillary Clinton's e-mails. He said not speaking up about the discovery of new emails possibly related to the investigation would have been a "catastrophic" act of concealment but added that "it makes me mildly nauseous to think we had an impact on the election".
U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent would be a tailwind for profitability at Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but won't fundamentally change how its business units operate, Buffett said.

The plan also called for almost doubling the personal exemption for individuals but eliminating deductions for state and local taxes . Republican lawmakers will be open-minded, but "they're going to likely start off from a skeptical point of view", said David Winston, a GOP consultant who has advised congressional leaders.
BLAME US ALL: Hillary Clinton is blaming her loss on the FBI and the Russians. OK. But why did she lie about her email server? Why didn't she go campaign in Michigan and Wisconsin? It's because she was arrogant.
France sought to keep a computer hack of frontrunner Emmanuel Macron's campaign emails from influencing the outcome of the country's presidential election with a warning on Saturday it could be a criminal offence to republish the data.

France's election campaign watchdog is investigating a hacking attack and document leak targeting presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron that his political movement calls a last-ditch bid to disrupt Sunday's tense runoff vote.

French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron's team blasted a "massive and coordinated hacking attack" against his campaign after a flood of internal documents were released online late Friday, barely 24 hours before the election. The centrist candidate's furious staff said the release of thousands of emails, accounting documents and other files was an attempt at "democratic destabilisation, like that seen during the last presidential campaign in the United States".
Matt Laur, the host from Today, showed up at Ellen DeGeneres studio to interview her this week. He asked her a few questions but it was obvious that the point he was there was to talk about President Trump.

For months pundits and journalists worried over the possibility that a strategically timed leak could destabilise France's election, a replay of the obsessively covered disclosures that some Americans blame for scuppering Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and many others fear are sapping popular faith in Western democracy. Late Friday, with only minutes left before France's presidential campaign duel was due to cease fire for the weekend, it came.

"Real Time" hosts says winning the next election "begins with learning the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy" Bill Maher thinks enough time has passed in Donald Trump's presidency to pose an important question to a select group of Democrats: "to those liberals who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary [Clinton] because she was the 'lesser of two evils' - quite a bit lesser - what do you say now?" The marking of Trump's 100th day in office was, as Maher said on his HBO show "Real Time" Friday night, made into a big deal by "the media, the White House and political junkies."
Another presidential election, another massive data dump seemingly intended to sabotage a center-left candidate.
