State Dept. Posts Thousands of Hillary Clinton's Emails 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
The State Department has posted thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails
online as part of a court-ordered disclosure process following
revelations Clinton used a private email server while she was secretary
of state. The department said it redacted information from 125 emails
after discovering "confidential" materials, but said none of the emails
were marked classified when they were sent. Meanwhile, Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign is defending his remarks
about Clinton's aide, Huma Abedin, and Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner.
Weiner is the former New York congressman who resigned after admitting
to sending sexually explicit photos and messages to women online.
Speaking in Massachusetts over the weekend, Trump suggested Abedin's
husband's transgressions made her handling of Clinton's emails a
security risk.

Donald Trump: "Huma now is one of the people that — it all sort of
came through Huma. Who is Huma married to? One of the great sleazebags
of our time, Anthony Weiner! Did you know that? She's married to Anthony
Weiner. You know, the little bing, bing, bing, bom, bom...I love you
very much."

That's Donald Trump, imitating Anthony Weiner sending online messages.
Trump's aide, Michael Cohen, defended Trump's remarks, telling CNN,
"It's politics. All's fair in love and war."
