TRUMP, CLINTON WINNERS IN MISSOURI
Presidential frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were declared the official winners of the Missouri primaries on Tuesday – nearly a month after they were held. The March 15 votes in both parties were extremely close: Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders were neck-and-neck, as were Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander finally certified the result, tweeting: “@HillaryClinton and @realDonaldTrump have officially won Missouri.” Clinton earned 49.6 percent of the vote, to 49.36 percent for Sanders, according to the results posted on the secretary of state’s website. On the Republican side, Trump earned 40.84 percent of the vote, to 40.63 percent for Cruz.
TRUMP, CLINTONS GO WAY BACK
These days, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton fire plenty of withering invective at each other in the battle for the White House. But the billionaire tycoon was once on good terms with the Clintons, newly released documents show. A 450-page trove of records released on Tuesday by the Clinton Library shows Democratic frontrunner Hillary’s husband Bill – President between 1993 and 2001 – knew Trump in the 1990s, when the current Republican frontrunner’s name came up in several White House memos.
MEXICAN ANCHOR CROSSES SWORDS WITH TRUMP
It featured drama and tension fit for a A bouffant-haired, billionaire-turned-politician clashing with a famous TV journalist intent on getting answers. The jaw-dropping scene played out on live television in August, when White House hopeful Donald Trump threw famous Mexican-American reporter Jorge Ramos out of a news conference. The anchor for Univision, a US Spanish-language channel, was trying insistently to ask a question about immigration when Trump shot back that the journalist had not been called on. The fracas erupted just two months after the real estate tycoon entered the race for the Republican nomination with harsh words about Mexican immigrants, calling them rapists and vowing to make Mexico pay for a massive border wall.
