Supporters celebrate after hearing the verdict Thursday. (Don Ryan/AP) The leaders of the armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge were acquitted Thursday, a stunning series of verdicts that cleared Ammon Bundy, the group’s leader, as well as his brother Ryan and five others. But that surprising outcome may have overshadowed the reality that this saga is far from over. While a jury acquitted the Bundy brothers, most of the people charged with the Oregon takeover already pleaded guilty or ..>> view originalLawyer Accuses Justice Thomas of Groping Her at Party in 1999

Officially, the Clinton campaign is not commenting on Biden's name being on the list, first reported by Politico on Thursday, and campaign advisers have said this is not being discussed in the campaign.

Even as Trump has been getting pummeled in recent weeks -- both in the polls and on the airwaves -- and has seen his fundraising fall off, he still hasn't put his money where his mouth is. On Wednesday, Donald Trump reiterated a previous pledge: that he would spend $100 million of his own mo..>> view originalDakota pipeline protests: Will police crackdown dampen efforts to block project?
