A firm run by Donald Trump's campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government, emails obtained by The Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law.
The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah group has accused the U.S. and President Barack Obama of creating the Islamic State group, using the words of presidential hopeful Donald Trump as proof. Quoting the Republican candidate, Hassan Nasrallah also accused Mr. Trump's Democratic Party competitor Hillary Clinton of helping create the militant group.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Barack Obama shake hands for the cameras before the start of a bilateral meeting at the United Nations headquarters September 28, 2015 in New York City. Few U.S. officials in 2011 could have imagined Syria would look this bad for the U.S. in 2016.
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton basked in a diplomatic "Moscow Spring," seizing on Vladimir Putin's break from the presidency to help seal a nuclear arms-control treaty and secure Russia's acquiescence to a NATO-led military intervention in Libya.

His critics have used a lot of adjectives to describe Donald Trump: outrageous, flamboyant, pompous, thin-skinned, erratic, egocentric and paranoid, for starters. But maybe it's time to use another word: "crazy."
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at the 2016 National Association of Black Journalists' and National Association of Hispanic Journalists' Hall of Fame Luncheon at Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, Friday, Aug. 5, 2016.
The head of WikiLeaks opened up to the comedian about how he hacked the DNC and why the organization hasn't targeted Trump yet. The head of WikiLeaks , still banished to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, has come under fire by U.S. intelligence officials-and even NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who criticized the organization's "hostility to even modest curation"-for not just his troubling anti-Semitic streak or lingering rape accusation, but also that they are probably doing the work of Russia in releasing thousands upon thousands of Democratic National Committee emails, thereby tilting the U.S. presidential election towards former reality star Donald Trump, whose campaign has very deep ties to Vladimir Putin.
"Obviously we know these come from Russia, and we also know that you do not like Hillary Clinton at all, as does not Vladimir Putin ," said Maher. "So it look likes you are working with a bad actor, Russia, to put your thumb on the scale and basically fuck with the one person who stands in the way of us being ruled by Donald Trump," the comedian added.

Donald Trump's latest rash of blunders - attacks on a Gold Star family, ignorance about Russia being in Ukraine, an invitation to Vladimir Putin to meddle in our elections - should dissipate some of the fog that enveloped Republicans after watching him take the GOP presidential nomination. They've been selling themselves and other Republicans a bill of goods.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during a town hall event in Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 1. Donald Trump poses a serious threat to our democracy. Hellbent on whipping up fear and resentment, Trump is running for president on a platform of visceral contempt - for immigrants, Muslims and facts - trafficking in insults rather than ideas.
On the Acela Express from Washington, D.C., to Boston, I am searching my hopper of words for one that describes the feeling of watching on television Donald Trump's news conference in Florida. I am, as it were, dumbfounded by the braggart.
