Guccifer hacked Hillary

"The infamous Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer,” claimed he easily – and repeatedly –
breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server in early 2013.   
"For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody," Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held.
Guccifer’s potential role in the Clinton email investigation was first reported by Fox News last month. The hacker subsequently claimed he was able to access the server – and provided extensive details about how he did it and what he found – over the course of a half-hour jailhouse interview and a series of recorded phone calls with Fox News."

Kasich drops out

"Kasich is dropping out of the Republican presidential race, he said Wednesday.
Kasich's decision to suspend his efforts came after he improbably became the last challenger to Donald Trump, who emerged as the presumptive GOP nominee Tuesday night when Ted Cruz dropped out.
"I have always said that the Lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone," Kasich told reporters in Columbus, Ohio. "And as I suspend my campaign today, I have renewed faith, deeper faith, that the Lord will show me the way forward, and fulfill the purpose of my life." CNN

Hillary challenged in West Virginia

"Clinton faced some angry voters Monday during a campaign swing through West Virginia, a state that overwhelmingly backed her eight years ago in her primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.
Bo Copley, an unemployed coal worker, asked Clinton why voters should believe her pledge to help revitalize the region's economy during a stop at a health center in Williamson.
"Still supporting her hurts you," he told Sen. Joe Manchin, who joined Clinton at the small round-table event. "It's not a good outlook here."
Her efforts haven't been helped by a remark she made in a March interview with CNN, when she said she would "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." She was responding to a question about how her policies would benefit poor white people in southern states." CNN

Trump mocks Cruz over Fiorina fall

"At his campaign rally in Carmel, Indiana, today, Donald Trump wasted no time bringing up a video of Ted Cruz's new running mate, Carly Fiorina, taking a fall Sunday.
"By the way, she fell off the stage the other day, did anybody see that? And Cruz didn't do anything. Even I would have helped her," Trump told 1,600 supporters while taking swipes at his rival.
In the video, it appears that Cruz didn't immediately see the fall, which did not injure Fiorina.
The fall took place in Lafayette, Indiana, " ABC

"SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Donald Trump is over this primary.

“The people of Indiana are going to put me over the top and we can focus on Hillary Clinton,” Trump told supporters at the Century Center here Monday evening, moving past Cruz and John Kasich." Politico

"There's a whole question of uniting and there's a whole question as to temperament," Trump continued. "He's certainly a smart guy, but there's also a temperament issue." TheHill
