					<description><![CDATA[After weeks on the defensive, President Donald Trump has stepped up his efforts to dispute, downplay and distract from revelations stemming from the investigations into the Kremlin&#8217;s interference in last year&#8217;s election and possible Russian ties to his campaign associates. The White House says the real story is not about Russia — it&#8217;s about how Obama administration officials allegedly leaked and mishandled classified material about Americans. Trump and his aides have accused former officials of inappropriately disclosing — or &#8220;unmasking&#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump&#8216;s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests. Manafort proposed in a confidential strategy plan as early as June 2005 that he would&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Faced with aggressive on-air questioning about the president&#8217;s wiretapping claims, Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn&#8217;t flinch, she went folksy. Speaking to George Stephanopoulos on &#8220;Good Morning America,&#8221; she pulled out a version of an old line from President Lyndon Johnson: &#8220;If the president walked across the Potomac, the media would be reporting that he could not swim.&#8221; The 34-year-old spokeswoman for President Donald Trump was schooled in hardscrabble politics — and down-home rhetoric — from a young age by her father,&#8230;]]></description>

The former Democratic vice presidential nominee said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that his place is in the Senate and his decision not to run in 2020 is final. &#8220;Period. Full stop,&#8221; Kaine said. With a heightened national profile after campaigning across the country for more than three months as Hillary Clinton&#8216;s running mate, Kaine could have&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[His candidacy spiraling out of control, Donald Trump faced Hillary Clinton on the debate stage Sunday night in the most critical moment of his political career. Questions about Trump&#8217;s preparation, policy knowledge and temperament all were overshadowed by the political fallout from Friday&#8217;s release of a video that captured the Republican presidential nominee making predatory sexual comments about women a decade earlier. With tensions high, the candidates refused to shake hands at the start of the debate at Washington University&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some Mexican-Americans are taking issue with Republican Mike Pence brushing off GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump&#8216;s comments on Mexican immigrants as &#8220;that Mexican thing.&#8221; Pence chided Democrat Tim Kaine&#8216;s repeated mention of Trump&#8217;s comments on immigrants during Tuesday night&#8217;s vice-presidential debate, telling him at one point: &#8220;Senator, you&#8217;ve whipped out that Mexican thing again.&#8221; The Indiana governor&#8217;s remark has quickly become one of the most talked about moments from the forum, trending online under #ThatMexicanThing.

					<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama has signed a short-term funding bill to keep the government from shutting down at the end of the week. Lawmakers eager to leave town to campaign for re-election gave themselves breathing room by voting to continue existing spending levels for another 10 weeks, beyond the Nov. 8 election. Members of Congress will have to reach agreement on funding for the rest of the budget year when they meet in a lame-duck session after the election. The bill&#8230;]]></description>
