Associated Press: “It’s a conspiracy: The 2016 campaign features one candidate who warned against the ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’ and another who was a leader of the so-called ‘birther’ movement.”

“Donald Trump and his surrogates hint at a mysterious ‘illness’ afflicting rival Hillary Clinton. Pushing back, Clinton warns of murky ties between Trump and the Russian government, insinuating that her Republican opponent may be a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

“Rumors and innuendo long confined to the far reaches of the Internet are dominating the presidential race, forcing Clinton to grapple — once again — with the kinds of whispers that have dogged her family for decades.”
