Donald Trump will not, after all, participate in a debate with Bernie Sanders, the presumptive Republican nominee announced in a statement Friday. “Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher,” Trump said. Randy Holmes/ABC via AP The billionaire businessman added that, though several networks had agreed to broadcast the face-off, they would “make a killing” on the event and “are not proving to be too generous to charitabl…

The Senate’s annual intelligence authorization bill reportedly contains a provision that would allow the FBI to obtain U.S. citizens’ email records without oversight. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) was the only lawmaker who voted against the still-classified bill in the Intelligence Committee, saying that its current wording infringes upon American citizens’ rights. The legislative text of the bill Wyden objected to will be made public at the committee’s discretion, which usually happens about a week or a week and a half after the bill is marked up in committee. A view of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Brendan Smialowski/A…

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe invoked the infamous Lehman Brothers bankruptcy as he warned his fellow Group of Seven leaders of potential economic hardships that could befall his country. Abe’s warning of an impending Lehman-magnitude crisis could be his set-up for why another delay in a hike of Japan’s national sales tax could come, according to CNBC. The prime minister has planned to raise the country’s sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent in April 2017 unless a natural disaster or economic collapse occurs. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe talks with Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena during an “Outreach Session” on Friday in Kashikojima, Japan. In the…

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Over the months, Hillary Clinton misstated key facts about her use of private email and her own server for her work as secretary of state, the department’s inspector general reported this week. According to the findings, she claimed approval she didn’t have and declined to be interviewed for the report despite saying “I’m more than ready to talk to anybody anytime.” Scrutiny of her unusual email practices appeared to be unwelcome, despite her contention those practices were well known and “fully above board.” (AP Photo/John Locher, File) A look at some of Clinton’s past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector gen…

When Fox News’ Jesse Watters went out on the street to quiz people about America’s past wars, he received some curious — and patently comical — responses. From confusion over why the U.S. commemorates Memorial Day to claims that Asia and Japan won the Civil War, a great many of Watters’ interview subjects clearly needed to brush up on their history. “Who did America defeat in the Revolutionary War?” Watters asked, receiving a variety of incorrect responses, including the French, Russia and Germany. And some respondents didn’t fare much better when it came to their Civil War knowledge, saying that they believed that Asia, the Soviet Union, France, England, Germany, Russ…

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s maternal aunt has been living in the United States for 18 years — and the Washington Post’s Anna Fifield tracked her down. The dictator’s aunt was known as Ko Yong Suk to his family although she goes by a different name in the United States, a name withheld by the Post to protect her safety. Ko and her husband — known as Ri Gang to the North Korean regime — live several hours outside New York City, where they operate their own dry cleaning store. They have three grown children who also live in the United States. “I think we have achieved the American Dream,” Ri said. “My friends here tell me I’m so lucky, that I have ever…

A DePaul University professor reportedly posted — and then deleted — her resignation on Facebook, citing the institution’s “embarrassing” handling of free speech on campus. (YouTube) The apparent public resignation comes after conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos held an event at DePaul University, during which angry protesters stormed the stage. Though Yiannopoulos stirred up controversy on campus, Cheng does not specifically name him. “To believe that universities are simply neutral platforms for ‘equal’ exchanges of ideas, the so-called free speech rooted in the market ideology, is delusional and that positional objectivity ends up reinforcing the exact inequa…

The family of Kate Steinle, the American who was fatally shot by an illegal immigrant in July 2015, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the 32-year-old would still be alive today had it not been for mistakes made by federal and state officials. “The Steinle Family hopes that their actions today will serve to highlight the lax enforcement of gun safety regulations among the law enforcement agencies involved and bureaucratic confusion so that this will not happen to others,” Frank Pitre, a lawyer for the family, said Friday, according to Fox News. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a Mexican immigrant who had been departed five times, was arrested following Steinle’s death. Sa…

NEW YORK — A “Ronald Reagan-type Republican” would not be able to win a current GOP primary, former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele predicted. Speaking about the brokenness of the political system at a private Manhattan club Friday morning, Steele said that, once former President Ronald Reagan “stepped off the grand national stage,” the Republican Party began the fight over who “would carry this mantle” — a quest that he said has yet to be fulfilled. Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. (Getty Images/Chip Somodevilla) “In fact, a Ronald Reagan-type Republican could not win a Republican primary today because of the gross …
