Ex-congressman: 'If Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket'

Walsh, a former tea party congressman from Illinois who is now a conservative talk radio host, tweeted, "On November 8th, I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in?"

Walsh did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment. But he did respond to CNN's Jake Tapper via Twitter when he asked: "What exactly does that mean?"

"It means protesting. Participating in acts of civil disobedience. Doing what it takes to get our country back," he responded to Tapper.

TV anchor accused of being fascinated by sex

The Republican claimed she showed "bias" for mentioning the groping allegations against Donald Trump.

Ms Kelly retorted she was not fascinated by sex but by who was going to be in the White House.

The Fox News journalist has previously angered Mr Trump for questioning his attitude towards women.

Mr Trump publicly criticised Ms Kelly on a number of occasions after she asked about derogatory remarks he had made - including calling women "fat pigs" - during the Republican primaries in 2015.

Trump: Clinton's foreign policy plan would start WWIII

He said the US should focus on defeating the so-called Islamic State rather than convincing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to stand down.

Mrs Clinton has been proposing a no-fly zone over Syria, which some say could lead to conflict with Russian jets.

The Clinton campaign accused Mr Trump of "playing to Americans' fears".

Mr Trump also attacked Republicans for not uniting behind his candidacy.

"If we had party unity, we couldn't lose this election to Hillary Clinton," he told Reuters news agency at Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.

Elizabeth Warren rips Trump over Tic Tacs

In a video released earlier this month, the Republican nominee said he needed Tic Tacs before talking with "Access Hollywood's" Billy Bush on a hot mic about how he can do anything to women because he is a celebrity.

"I've gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait," Trump said.

Warren, and most every Democrat as well as many Republicans, took issue with the comments that have now rocked Trump's campaign.

US election: Trump outlines plan for first 100 days

With 17 days until the election, much of the recent focus has been on controversies linked to his campaign.

But in a speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he sought to highlight changes he would introduce.

Among them were restrictions on lobbyists and a renegotiation on trade and climate change deals.

Mrs Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine appeared at events on Saturday in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state in the race for the White House.

White powder at Clinton campaign HQ 'non-hazardous'

Clinton campaign workers had opened an envelope containing the white substance Friday, police said.

The envelope had first been delivered to Clinton's midtown Manhattan office and opened there, said Lt. Thomas Antonetti of the New York Police Department. It was then transferred to her Brooklyn campaign headquarters. The reason why it had been taken there was unclear.

But it resulted in the evacuation of the building's 11th floor during the evening. Another floor used by the Clinton campaign in the building remained operational during the incident.

Trump to make 'closing argument,' lay out plan for first 100 days

Trump is set to offer up the key principles and policies driving his presidential campaign in a speech Saturday morning in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The location is forever etched in American lore given that it was the battlefield where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address, though Trump will not speak at precisely the same spot.

Trump, speaking on Fox News Friday night, and his campaign aides declined to offer any substantive details of what he will address in the speech.

Early voting numbers promising for Clinton in battleground states

More than 3.3 million Americans have already voted. And among that group, Democrats have improved their position in North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and even Utah compared to this point in 2012.

US elections: Russian request to monitor vote gets a 'nyet'

Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana turned down the request from the Russian consulate in Houston. Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler wrote that recent flooding had left his office extremely short-staffed trying to deal with the damage and prepare adequately for the vote on November 8. "Had this flood event not occurred, we certainly would have been open to such a visit," he told Consul General Alexander Zakharov.

Both Oklahoma and Texas denied the Russian proposal citing state laws that prohibit it.

Donald Trump: 'I will totally accept' election results 'if I win'

Trump offered a stunning declaration during the final presidential debate that he might not accept the results of next month's election. In his first speech since the debate, Trump seemed to simultaneously double down on the stance he articulated Wednesday night while also trying to clean it up.

Trump argued forcefully during a rally here that he was being asked to "waive" his right to contest the election after critics slammed him for refusing to pledge to accept the results of the election the previous night during the final presidential debate.
