Trump's new DC hotel vandalized with spray-painted graffiti

WASHINGTON –  Donald Trump's new luxury hotel in downtown Washington has been vandalized.
District of Columbia police say someone spray-painted the phrases "black lives matter" and "no justice no peace" on the front of the building on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday, the phrases were covered up with pieces of plywood.
Police spokeswoman Aquita Brown said Sunday that police have not identified any suspects. The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. Saturday, and police are investigating.
The Trump International Hotel opened on Sept. 12. The Trump Organization won a 60-year lease from the federal government to transform the historic Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue into a hotel. Rooms at the hotel start at just under $400 a night, down from nearly $900 a night when the hotel opened.

Judge Jeanine Slams Hillary: 'You Don’t Support Women, You Destroy Them'

"What’s more offensive? Words or actions?" Judge Jeanine Pirro asked in her 'Opening Statement' on Saturday.
"The presidential election in 38 days comes down to the battle of political corruption versus truth—where one candidate chooses political correctness, [and] the other [is] brave enough to state the obvious," Pirro said on "Justice".
"One says things not politically correct: not run through the prism of the contemporary political lens. The other...carefully filters [her words] and then flat out lies to [our] faces," Pirro said, pointing to Hillary Clinton.
Pirro particularly criticized Clinton for claiming to be a champion for women and families.
"You tell me what’s worse—name-calling or lying to grieving parents as their sons' bodies lay cold in caskets...and then turning around and calling those parents liars," she said, referring to allegations by Benghazi victim Sean Smith’s mother Patricia, who said Clinton lied to her about the circumstances of her son's death.
"And although [Donald Trump] may be impolitic, and while I am not a fan of things he said 20 years ago about a woman—under a contractual obligation to maintain her appearance—your history with women is about destroying them," Pirro continued.
"You don’t support women, you destroy them—whether it’s all the women who've accused your husband of serial marital infidelities, sexual harassment, and yes—rape. Instead of protecting a 12 year old, a college intern, a rape victim, you job: ruin them. Destroy any woman who gets in the way of your ambition. None of it [is] the predator’s fault."
Pirro recalled allegations that Clinton called Gennifer Flowers "trailer trash" and Monica Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony toon."
"What’s important are not words," Pirro said, referring to Clinton’s repeated criticisms of Trump’s language, "what’s important are actions...how one candidate has chosen to lie about issues that involve the government of the greatest nation on Earth."
"She’s gaming you, folks," Pirro said to the audience, "she takes money from countries who stone women for adultery...this woman has corrupted the State Department, the Department of Justice and—now I’m ashamed to admit—the honored tradition of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."

Clinton's depiction of young voters who backed him

Bernie Sanders on Sunday acknowledged being bothered by Hillary Clinton’s unflattering perception of the young Americans who backed his longshot primary bid against Clinton, saying their campaigns still have “real differences,” despite their joint effort to defeat Donald Trump.
“Of course it does,” Sanders, a Vermont senator, told CNN’s “State of the Union,” in response to a question about whether Clinton’s remarks at a fundraiser amid their hotly contested Democratic primary bothered him. “We have real differences.”
Clinton characterized the young voters -- impassioned by Sanders' populist message and who still have yet to embrace Clinton -- as “living in their parents’ basement” and disenfranchised about the future, according to a 49-minute audiotape of the February fundraiser, purportedly found in a hacked email, then given to The Washington Free Beacon, which first reported the story.
"If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to being a barista . . .  then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing," Clinton also says in the audio tape, describing her thoughts after talking to a young African-American voter.
Clinton, like her Republican rival Trump, will need the youth vote to win the presidency.
However, Clinton continues to struggle with the voting bloc, which includes many college students, like those who helped Barack Obama win two terms and who frequently back liberal candidates.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Sept. 14 shows 55 percent of likely voters ages 18 to 34 are voting for Clinton, compared to 34 percent for Trump. The poll follows one by the school released a month earlier that showed Clinton with 64 percent of that vote, compared to 29 percent for Trump.
Despite Sanders’ misgivings about Clinton and her policies, the self-described democratic-socialist has helped Clinton try to win the youth vote, most recently at the University of New Hampshire last week where they touted essentially a hybrid free-tuition, debt-free college affordability plan.
“The bottom line is what we have done since the primary is work together in a number of areas,” Sanders also said on CNN.
He also said that Clinton’s basic argument at the private fundraiser was, nevertheless, essentiallly what he said during the primary, that young people graduating from college cannot find a job that pays enough for them to move out of their parents’ basements.
“We need a political revolution,” Sanders said.
With about five weeks to go before Election Day, Clinton holds a slight, single-digit lead over Trump, her Republican rival, according to most recent polls.
New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump adviser, told “Fox News Sunday” that Clinton’s comments just add to her recent remark that half of Trump supporters are “deplorables.”
“If you are not part of the Northeast elite, she has nothing to do with you,” Christie said.

Sept. 11 widow sues Saudi Arabia days after Congressional override

A woman whose husband was killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks filed a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia Friday, two days after Congress passed a law allowing Americans to sue foreign governments over their alleged roles in terror attacks.
Stephanie DeSimone filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. Her husband, Navy Cdr. Patrick Dunn, was killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. DeSimone, then known as Stephanie Dunn, was two months pregnant with the couple's first child.
DeSimone's lawsuit, which was first reported by Bloomberg, alleges that the Saudi government provided material support to Al Qaeda and its leader, Usama bin Laden. She is seeking unspecified damages for wrongful death and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers who commandeered passenger flights to use in the attack were Saudi.
On Wednesday, both houses of Congress overwhelmingly overrode President Obama's veto of the bill, which allows families sue in U.S. court for any role that elements of the Saudi government may have played in the 2001 attacks. Courts would be permitted to waive a claim of foreign sovereign immunity when an act of terrorism occurred inside U.S. borders.
The following day, Republican leaders acknowledged the law may have been flawed, with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., saying "there may be some work to be done" to make sure it doesn't lead to U.S. service members overseas being sued.
The White House had warned that it could have a chilling effect on Saudi Arabia's cooperation with the U.S. in fighting terrorism. Senior national security officials also argued that it could trigger lawsuits from people in other countries seeking redress for injuries or deaths caused by military actions in which the U.S. may have had a role.
But top lawmakers said the White House didn't press those warnings until it was too late and the popular bill was already barreling its way through Congress. Other lawmakers acknowledged that they didn't pay much attention to the bill.

Trump says Clinton 'should be in prison,' questions her health and loyalty to Bill

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stepped up his personal attacks on Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton Saturday night, telling supporters in Pennsylvania that Clinton "should be in prison" over her use of a private email server while secretary of state.
Trump made the apparently unscripted statement as chants of "Lock her up!" rang out at the rally in Manheim, Pa. Trump himself has avoided using such language in the past. But this time, he joined in.
The real estate mogul also made an apparent reference to former President Bill Clinton's sexual indiscretions, saying that Hillary Clinton's "only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself."
"I don't think she's even loyal to Bill if you want to know the truth," Trump added. "Why should she be, right? Why should she be?"
Trump previously highlighted the 42nd president's infidelities in a New York Times interview published Friday.
"Hillary was an enabler," Trump told the paper. "And she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it's a serious problem for them, and it's something that I'm considering talking about more in the near future."

When asked by The Times about his affair with Marla Maples while married to his first wife, Ivana during the late 1980s, Trump said "I wasn't president of the United States. ... I don't talk about it."
Completing a trifecta of personal attacks against the former first lady, Trump also questioned Clinton's phsyical stamina, referencing her fainting episode while attending a Sept. 11 memorial service last month.
Rattling off a list of world problems, Trump told the audience, "She's supposed to fight all of these things and she can’t make it 15 feet to her car. Give me a break." At that point, Trump imitated Clinton's stumble that was recorded by a bystander as she tried to leave the event.
"Folks, we need stamina, we need energy, we need people who are going to turn deals around."
For the second straight evening, Trump questioned the integrity of the nation's voting system, recalling his warning earlier this summer that the election result would be "rigged".
"You gotta get out, get your friends, go watch your polling booth," Trump said Saturday. "I’ve seen too many bad stories especially here in Pennsylvania.
"We can't lose an election because of, you know what I'm talking about," the real estate mogul added. "A lot of bad things happen. I don't want to lose for that reason."
Trump spoke hours before The New York Times reported that it had obtained documents showing that Trump had claimed a $916 million loss on his 1995 tax returns, an amount so large it may have allowed him to avoid paying income tax for 18 years.
Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon called Trump's rally remarks unhinged in a Twitter post and speculated that they were an effort to distract from the Times report.

In tape, Clinton characterized much needed young Sanders supporters, calls self 'center left, to the center right'

Hillary Clinton is back on the campaign trail locking arms with former Democratic rival Bernie Sanders to tout debt-free college education. But Clinton has privately distanced herself from such promises and other progressive ideals championed by Sanders, instead describing herself as a “center-left to the center-right” candidate, according to a recently released audiotape.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, made the comments in February, at a private fundraiser in northern Virginia. The audio tape was purportedly included in a Clinton campaign staffer’s email that was hacked, then given to The Washington Free Beacon, which reported the story Friday.
In the roughly 49-minute tape, Clinton suggests the 2016 presidential race has been divided into two camps: the far-right “populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach” espoused by many Republican candidates and Sanders’ democratic-socialist vision that includes “free college, free healthcare” and “go as far as Scandinavia, whatever that is.”
“I am occupying from the center-left to the center-right,” continued Clinton, who warned about over-promising potential voters.
She also characterized disaffected young Americans -- particularly the many college students who joined the so-called Sanders’ political revolution -- as “living in their parents basement” and feeling their post-graduate jobs are “not at all what they envisioned for themselves. … They don’t see much of a future.”
“If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to being a barista … then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing," Clinton also says in the audio tape, reflecting on a recent conversation with an African-American millennial.

The release of the tape comes at a difficult time for Clinton, who continues to struggle to connect with young voters and secure their vote.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Sept. 14 shows 55 percent of likely voters 18 to 34 voting for Clinton, compared to 34 percent for Trump, compared to a poll released a month earlier by the university that showed Clinton with 64 percent, compared to 29 percent for Trump.
With about five weeks to go before Election Day, Clinton holds a slight, single-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, according to most recent polls.
Clinton, in the tape, also seems to suggest that some young voters are naïve about politics and the working world, saying, “Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession.”
Clinton spokesman Glen Caplin told FoxNews.com on Saturday: “As Hillary Clinton said in those remarks, she wants young people to be idealistic and set big goals. She is fighting for exactly what the millennial generation cares most about -- a fairer more equal, just world. … That’s why she worked with Sen. Sanders on a plan to provide students with debt-free college and it’s why she’s traveling the country listening to their concerns and talking about not only what’s at stake in this election, but her plan for the generation. …They’ve helped her craft and promote the most progressive platform in Democratic party history.”
The Clinton campaign also pointed to tweets by Sanders’ spokesman Mike Casca, who called at least one of the stories about the tape “misleading” and “completely inaccurate." "She's clearly saying she gets why Bernie's supporters are frustrated,” Casca tweeted Friday night after a story by Politico.
Also on Saturday, Clinton supporters argued the candidate has publically stated such a position several times this election cycle, including in the CNN debate last fall when she said, “We are not Denmark. I love Denmark. We are the United States Of America.”
Clinton said Wednesday at a rally with Sanders at the University of New Hampshire: “None of you have more at stake in this election than young Americans … Bernie and I are excited about what he can do together.”
Clinton said she wants a moratorium on repaying student debt and the debt to be “forgiven” for those who go into public or national service.
