Sexual assaults often go unreported

Hillary forgets whether she ordered emails to be destroyed
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said she “does not recall” ordering emails related to State Department business to be deleted or permanently erased from her personal server after she left her post in 2013, according to sworn testimony made public Thursday.

OJ Simpson was wanted by Trump for Celebrity Apprentice
The proposal was quickly and unequivocally shot down by NBC at the time. The company released a statement in April 2008 saying, “NBC representatives have never considered O.J.

Unlike Trump, Warren Buffet pays his taxes
Donald Trump is a master of the “I am rubber and you are glue” approach to political rhetoric, but at Sunday night’s presidential debate, he tried a novel variant on the strategy. After Anderson Cooper asked him point blank if he used his $916 million reported loss from his 1995 tax return to avoid income […]
Bill Clinton racked up frequent flyer miles on the “Lolita Express”
An investigation into official flight records of financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express” are once again dragging former President Bill Clinton into the national spotlight. Flight logs obtained by Gawker in January 2015 put Mr. Clinton on the billionaire’s infamous jet more than a dozen times — sometimes with a woman whom federal […]

The poll, conducted on Saturday and Sunday but before the second presidential debate, shows Clinton […]
Trump, if elected, to “jail” Clinton
Donald Trump’s pledge Sunday night that he would order his attorney general to investigate Hillary Clinton, and his quip that she should “be in jail,” is a direct breach of the tradition of nonpartisan rule of law. “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look […]
