Political drama has taken a dark turn amid dozens of Bomb Threats. So why wont the former president and his allies stop pushing the lies that started it all . Plus, the stunning charges against one of the most famous men in hiphop, superstar sean diddy combs accused today of everything from Sex Trafficking to arson, bribery, to kidnapping. How the indictment says he abused and manipulated women to gratify himself and to protect his reputation. And an extraordinary incident in lebanon, where hundreds of handheld pagers exploded all at once, killing eight people, injuring more than 2,000. Was it part of a coordinated attack . So much to get to today, but we begin in ohio, where life has been completely up ended by a baseless claim.

I know that. I know that regardless of someones background, race, gender, geographic location, i know that people are deeply troubled. By what is happening to that community in springfield, ohio. And its got to stop. Youve got to say that you cannot be entrusted with standing behind the seal of the president of the united states of america engaging in that hateful rhetoric that as usual is designed to divide us as a country.
