A federal lawsuit by a pro-Trump politico claims that 33 state Democratic Party committees illegally laundered donations totaling $84 million that ultimately ended up in accounts that directly benefited Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign for president.
Donations that on paper were supposed to benefit state Democratic committees actually ended up in large measure being passed through to the Democratic National Committee, which used it to try to get Clinton elected, according to Dan Backer, a lawyer for the Committee to Defend the President.
In January the Pittsfield School Committee voted to rename the holiday celebrated on the second Monday of October "Indigenous Peoples Day" instead of Columbus Day.
But the chairman said the committee will reconsider the vote after about 30 Italian-Americans showed up to argue against the decision at a committee meeting last week.
