    FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state knew early this month that messages recovered in a separate probe might be germane to their case, but they waited weeks before briefing the FBI director, according to people familiar with the case. Director James B. Comey has written that he was informed of the development Thursday, and he sent a letter to legislators the next day letting them know that he thought the team should take “appropriate ..

(Yuri Gripas/Agence France-Presse via Getty Images) In the past 24 hours, two high-profile figures from opposite sides of the political spectrum have accused FBI Director James B. Comey of potentially and illegally influencing the presidential election. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) made the accusation in a letter Sunday night, and Richard Painter, who was an ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration, said the same thing in a New York Times..

  • For 25 years, it has been Clarence Thomas v. Controversy

    For 25 years, it has been Clarence Thomas v. Controversy
    Justice Clarence Thomas marked 25 years on the Supreme Court last week, and if he remains for another dozen or so, he could become the longest-serving member in the court’s history. But the unofficial title of the court’s most polarizing justice seems his to keep regardless of tenure. Dedicated supporters are determined that the 68-year-old Thomas gets his due as one of the court’s most productive, if un­or­tho­dox, thinkers, and they seized on the 25th anniversary to make their point. [Clar..

    Post-ABC poll finds tight presidential race, with mixed reaction to ...
    Republicans' growing unity behind their presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has helped pull him just 1 percentage point behind Hillary Clinton and has placed GOP leaders who resist him in a vulnerable position, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Tracking Poll. A majority of all likely voters say they are unmoved by the FBI's announcement Friday that it may review additional emails from Clinton's time as secretary of state. Just more than 6 in 10 voters say the news will make no dif..

    In final sprint, Trump targets Democratic states while Clinton tries to ...
    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is redirecting his attention to traditionally Democratic states in the final days of the 2016 campaign in an urgent attempt to expand what for weeks has been an increasingly narrow path to victory. Following FBI Director James B. Comey’s surprise announcement Friday that the agency would once again examine emails related to Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, Trump and his advisers see a fresh opportunity to make gains in states that most p..

    Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton Pumpkin Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) Everything was coming up Hillary Clinton just seven day ago. Buffeted by allegations of sexual assault and his penchant for self-inflicted wounds, Donald Trump was floundering. And as Trump flopped, Clinton soared -- rolling her momentum from a clean sweep of the debates into the final weeks of the campaign.  The question seemed to be not whether Clinton would win but by how much she would win by as her campaign move..

    The foreign leaders who are rooting for Trump
    It might seem as if the United States’ allies, from Mexico to Britain to Japan, are holding their breath while not-so-silently praying that Donald Trump does not become president. They’ve been watching Trump’s campaign “with disbelief, a good portion of dismay and distinctly growing apprehension,” as Sweden’s former foreign minister and Post columnist Carl Bildt put it. That’s true — but not entirely so. There are, in fact, a number of important U.S. allies, in and outside NATO, who either ope..

    Officer had a 'rapability' scale for female drivers, ex-cop says
    (iStock) Alexandra Drake went through field training with Michael Masella, a lieutenant with the New Boston Police Department, according to a lawsuit. During that time, a complaint alleges, Drake took note of what Masella would say during traffic stops that involved female drivers. “After completing the stop, he told Drake that he wanted to just take them out and ‘rape’ them rather than issue a citation,” it reads. “Masella would routinely make comments about female drivers whom he thought f..
