Associated Press -- Trump, Clinton respond to New York City explosion

Donald Trump appeared to pre-empt New York City officials when he declared Saturday evening that a "bomb went off" in New York City before officials had released details. "I must tell you that just before I got off the plane a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows what's going on," Trump said, minutes after stepping off his plane during a rally at an airport hangar in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Buzzfeed -- Why It’s So Hard For Trump To Give Up His Birther Crusade

In the five years since Donald Trump first launched his birther crusade, he has had plenty of reasons — and opportunities — to disavow the conspiracy theory and apologize for championing it. Yet, even now, 51 days from a presidential election that he could conceivably win, the Republican nominee can’t quite bring himself to fully let go.

CNN -- Obama: Trump would be 'insult to my legacy'

Fox News -- Putin: US campaign shows Russia's importance

Vladimir Putin says the prominence of Russia and himself as an issue in the U.S. presidential campaign indicates the country's growing importance. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments about Putin's power and support have brought rebuke from critics who suggest he would take a soft line in dealing with the Kremlin.

Politico -- Trump: Robert Gates 'probably has a problem we don't know about'

Donald Trump returned fire at former Defense Secretary Bob Gates at a Colorado rally Saturday, calling him a "nasty guy" who "probably has a problem we don't know about." The GOP nominee's comments come after Gates' scathing Wall Street Journal op-ed published online Friday, where he attacks Trump as “cavalier about the use of nuclear weapons,” with “a record of insults to servicemen, their families and the military.”

The Hill -- Trump threatens to sue New York Times

Donald Trump threatened to sue the New York Times on Twitter after posting several other messages blasting the paper and its well-known columnist Maureen Dowd. "My lawyers want to sue the failing @nytimes so badly for irresponsible intent. I said no (for now), but they are watching. Really disgusting," Trump tweeted.
