House Benghazi Report Finds No New Evidence of Wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton
(New York Times) -- Ending one of the longest, costliest and most bitterly partisan congressional investigations in history, the House Select Committee on Benghazi issued its final report on Tuesday, finding no new evidence of culpability or wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton in the 2012 attacks in Libya that left four Americans dead.
The 800-page report delivered a broad rebuke of the Defense Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department — and the officials who led them — for failing to grasp the acute security risks in Benghazi, and especially for maintaining outposts there that they could not protect.
Trump Announces Three Top Campaign Hires
(Politico) -- Donald Trump’s campaign announced a trio of new hires Tuesday morning as it ramps up its general election operation to match the massive team backing Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Former Republican National Committee communications department staff member Michael Abboud will join the Trump campaign as a communications coordinator. Abboud will focus on rapid response and daily messaging, the campaign announced, common political tactics that the Manhattan billionaire’s camp has only just recently begun to employ.
Clinton Rolls Out Wide-Ranging Technology Agenda
(Reuters) -- Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Tuesday laid out a technology and innovation agenda ranging from connecting every U.S. household to high-speed internet by 2020 to beefing up cyber security and reducing regulatory barriers.
A statement issued by her campaign said Clinton strongly supports the Obama administration's net neutrality rules requiring broadband providers to treat all data equally, rather than giving or selling access to a so-called Web fast lane.
Sanders Gives "Amazingly Condescending" Interview About Clinton
(Washington Post) -- The Democratic presidential primaries ended two weeks ago today. Bernie Sanders is still kind of, sort of running for the nomination, despite the fact he has lost -- by every possible metric -- to Hillary Clinton.
Clinton and her campaign have been generally fine with all of this, pivoting to the general election and assuming the Sanders thing would work itself out. That approach may change after the interview Sanders gave to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday.
