TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Anyone worried that Republican Gov. Chris Christie was being held hostage by Donald Trump as he stood, seemingly shell-shocked, behind the GOP presidential front-runner on Super Tuesday can rest easy.
"No, I wasn't being held hostage. No, I wasn't sitting up there thinking, 'Oh, my God, what have I done?'" Christie said Thursday back home in New Jersey. "I don't know what I was supposed to be doing. All these armchair psychiatrists should give it a break."
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department will have to decide whether Hillary Clinton or any of her subordinates should face legal consequences for her use of a private email server and her handling of sensitive government information, a decision whose timing is fraught with serious political repercussions.
Even though Attorney General Loretta Lynch has said there is no "artificial deadline" for concluding the investigation, the Obama administration is in the unenviable position of conducting an election-year probe that, no matter the outcome or reassurances to the contrary, will result in grievances about its impact on the presidential election.
