Hillary Clinton slapped with dreaded 'Four Pinocchios' rating for false claim that the FBI director said she told the truth about her classified emails.

Washington Post fact-checker gave Clinton the worst possible score for lying about the FBI's position on her classified email scandal.

The FBI director, Clinton claimed Sunday, 'said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people.'

But in a congressional hearing last month, the FBI director said multiple times that she had lied to the public and the press.

Clinton ultimately blamed the career professionals at the State Department for sending classified documents to her private, unsecured email address.

That address, though, was the only one she had while she was secretary of state.

Clinton's campaign manager told 'Morning Joe' that the FBI believed Clinton has no reason to think the documents were classified at first.

Kochs reject push to meet with Trump.

Top Donald Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between the GOP presidential nominee and Charles Koch in Colorado Springs on Friday, but Koch aides rejected the entreaties, according to two Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.

Koch and his brother David Koch, who helm an influential network of advocacy groups and major conservative donors, have been sharply critical of Trump’s rhetoric and policy stances and have indicated they do not intend to support his campaign.

DESPERATE DON: ALREADY HOWLING ABOUT ‘RIGGED’ ELECTION

Prepare for a meltdown from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump if he loses the election.

He told supporters on Monday that he fears the election could be rigged, an indication that even if Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wins, Trump might not accept it.

He made the comments while talking about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who lost the Democratic nomination to Clinton and whose supporters Trump has openly courted.

“First of all, it was rigged,” Trump said of the Democratic primary during a rally in Columbus, Ohio. “And I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest.”

Roger Stone on The Milo Show: How Trump Can Fight Voter Fraud

“I think we have widespread voter fraud, but the first thing that Trump needs to do is begin talking about it constantly,” Stone said.

“He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: ‘I am leading in Florida.

The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud.

If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.’”

Mr. Trump,

We are all Gold Star Families, who have lost those we love the most in war. Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.

Your recent comments regarding the Khan family were repugnant, and personally offensive to us.

When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us.

When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice.

You are not just attacking us, you are cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost.

You are minimizing the risk our service members make for all of us.

This goes beyond politics. It is about a sense of decency.

That kind decency you mock as "political correctness."

We feel we must speak out and demand you apologize to the Khans, to all Gold Star families, and to all Americans for your offensive, and frankly anti-American, comments.

We hope you will hear us.

Sincerely,

Trump campaign asks Capitol Hill for support in Khan controversy.

U.S. Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign appealed to Capitol Hill for support on Monday as his attacks on the Muslim parents of a decorated American soldier killed in Iraq drew sharp rebukes from fellow party members.

Trump's criticism of Khizr Khan and Ghazala Khan, who took the stage at last week's Democratic convention, sparked growing concern and dismay from Republican lawmakers responding to the latest Trump outburst to blindside his party colleagues.

Republican Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war and the most prominent veteran in Congress, along with the commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, joined the chorus of condemnation, reflecting the highly regarded place the military and its veterans hold with many in the United States.

Trump's dispute with the Khans has dominated the White House campaign in recent days and underlined the uneasy alliance between many leading Republicans and the party's freewheeling, unorthodox nominee for the Nov. 8 election.

Rob Wasinger, a onetime congressional candidate who has been working for the Trump camp on congressional outreach, sent an email to senior Senate aides saying, "We want to get several member statements out today on this, and would really appreciate your help."

A similar appeal was made to Republicans in the House of Representatives, according to a senior aide.

Attached to the appeal were talking points lawmakers could use to try to tamp down the controversy growing since last week's appearance at the Democratic convention by the Khans, the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed by a bomb in Iraq 12 years ago.

Trump: My Position On Keeping Terrorists Out Is What Bothered Khizr Khan

In an interview with a local Ohio television station on Monday, Donald Trump said that Khizr Khan was really bothered by his position on border security — specifically

his promise to keep radical Islamic terrorists from entering the country.

When the interviewer brought up Trump’s position on border security, Trump said, “It’s a very big subject for me. And border security’s very big.

And when you have radical Islamic terrorists probably all over the place, we’re allowing them to come in by the thousands and thousands.

And I think that’s what bothered Mr. Khan more than anything else.

Eric Trump: Clinton’s Policies Cost Life Of Humayun Khan

Eric Trump defended his father’s comments on the Khan family on Monday, arguing that the policies of Hillary Clinton were to blame for the death of Capt. Humayun Khan.

Humayun Khan died in Iraq in 2004, when Clinton was still the senator from New York. Clinton voted in favor of the war. Donald Trump running mate, Mike Pence, also voted in favor of the war.

Trump Called Russia’s Invasion Of Ukraine “So Smart” In 2014

Donald Trump said in an April 2014 interview that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “so smart.”“Well, he’s done an amazing job of taking the

mantle,” Trump said of Russian president Vladimir Putin in an interview with Fox News’ Eric Bolling. “And he’s taken it away from the

president, and you look at what he’s doing. And so smart. When you see the riots in a country because they’re hurting the Russians, okay,

‘We’ll go and take it over.’ And he really goes step by step by step, and you have to give him a lot of credit.”

Donald Trump Praised Putin For Bashing The Term “American Exceptionalism” In 2013

Donald Trump praised Vladimir Putin in 2013 for his New York Times op-ed in which he criticized President Obama’s use of the phrase “American exceptionalism.”

Speaking on Piers Morgan Tonight in September 2013, Trump said Putin “really put it” to President Obama over the phrase.“You think of the term as being fine, but all of sudden you say, what if

you’re in Germany or Japan or any one of 100 different countries? You’re not going to like that term,” said Trump. “It’s very insulting and Putin really put it to him about that.”

Watch Donald Trump Throw Crying Baby Out of Rally

Donald Trump made the mother of a crying child the butt of an unfortunate joke at his rally in Ashburn, Virginia on Tuesday.

At first, the Republican nominee drew attention to the baby by saying he didn't mind the sound of crying.

Then, reversing course, he told the mother to leave.

Trump reportedly asked adviser why US can't use nuclear weapons.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough told a stunned panel Wednesday morning that when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump

met with an unnamed national security expert earlier this year,

he repeatedly asked why the U.S. couldn't use its nuclear weapons stockpile.

"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert went to advise Donald Trump," Scarborough said.

"And three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons — three times he asked.

At one point, 'If we have them, why can't we use them?'"
