WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Monday it is launching an investigation into the apparent hacking of a trove of Democratic National Committee emails, a string of which have indicated that party bosses worked behind the scenes to tip the nomination in the direction of Hillary Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders.
"The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter," the statement read. "A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."
BOSTON – In a move reminiscent of its one-time parent, the Boston Globe put its editorial opinion front and center Thursday, wrapping the newspaper with a package urging tighter gun controls under a red-letter headline: "Make it stop."
The paper's move reflected a Dec. 5 New York Times front page which prominently displayed an editorial calling for a ban on military assault-style weapons like those used both in the San Bernardino, California, terrorist attack and in the massacre in Orlando this week. The Globe's more ostentatious display recalled an editorial attack on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in April using a mock front page.
