ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders dueled for support Tuesday ahead of California's presidential primary, as the Vermont senator showed few signs of backing off his efforts to boost his longshot odds for the nomination.
Sanders' campaign launched a $1.5 million ad buy in the state and announced it would seek a recanvass in last week's Kentucky primary, where he trailed Clinton by less than one-half of 1 percent. The recanvass, which is not a recount, involves reviewing the election results but is unlikely to change the results or the awarding of delegates.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department intends to seek the death penalty against Dylann Roof, the man charged with killing nine black parishioners last year in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Tuesday.
"The nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm compelled this decision," Lynch said in a brief statement that said the department had considered "all relevant factual and legal issues."
