PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says her family paid a State Department employee to maintain the private email server she used while secretary of state and compensated him "for a period of time" for his technical skills. The Democratic presidential candidate talked about it with reporters today after a campaign event in New Hampshire. The employee, Bryan Pagliano, told a House committee this week that he would invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination if called to testify.
CAIRO (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama has phoned the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to express condolences after 45 troops from the United Arab Emirates were killed in an attack in Yemen. A Saudi Arabian military spokesman said today that 10 Saudi troops were also killed in yesterday's rebel missile strike on an ammunition depot. It was the first public acknowledgement by the Saudis that they have ground troops in Yemen, where they lead a coalition targeting Shiite rebels and their allies.
BEIRUT (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry has called Russia's foreign minister to express concerns about reports "suggesting an imminent enhanced Russian military buildup" in Syria. That's according to a statement that did not elaborate or confirm the accuracy of the report. Russia has been a stalwart ally of Assad throughout Syria's civil war and has provided diplomatic support and weaponry to help the Syrian leader maintain his grip on power.
UNDATED (AP) — Hundreds of migrants trying to leave the Greek island of Lesbos to make their way to western Europe have clashed with police. The people, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, are frustrated that authorities are not processing them quickly enough so they can travel to the mainland, and from there across the Balkans to western Europe.
PHOENIX (AP) — A federal judge has found that the challengers of Arizona's landmark immigration law failed to show that police would enforce the statute differently for Latinos than it would for people of other ethnicities. The judge upheld the controversial requirement that police, while enforcing other laws, can question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally. Yesterday's ruling gives a victory to backers of the law and could mean the end of the challenges filed after its 2010 passage.
