“Janet Reno, first
female US attorney
general, dies at 78”
Janet Reno, former US attorney general, died Monday
morning at her home in Miami following a long battle
with Parkinson's disease. She was 78. Reno, the
nation's first-ever female attorney general, served in
the Clinton White House from 1993 to 2001. At a
ceremony to honor Reno in 2009, then-Attorney
General Eric Holder praised his predecessor for her
tenacity and tireless work ethic during her eight years
in the job. "I don't know how many times she said to
me, 'What's the right thing to do?'" Holder said. "It
was never what's the easy thing, what's the political
thing, or the expedient thing to do.” The United States
Attorney General is the head of the United States
Department of Justice, concerned with legal affairs
and is the chief law enforcement officer and chief
lawyer of the United States government. The Attorney
General is appointed by the President of the United
States. This office of Attorney General was
established by the Judiciary Act of 1789.

FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Sunday the agency
hasn't changed its opinion that Hillary Clinton should not face
criminal charges after a review of new emails. "Based on our
review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in
July," Comey wrote in the new letter to congressional committee
chairmen.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each campaigned Thursday in
North Carolina, which is emerging as perhaps the state on which
the 2016 presidential race turns. Clinton has held a small but
persistent lead in the state in recent weeks. A Quinnipiac
University poll out Wednesday showed Clinton ahead, 48% to
Trump's 46%. It's made North Carolina's 15 electoral votes
Democrats' best chances of winning a state Mitt Romney carried -albeit by just 2 percentage points -- in 2012. And for Trump,
whose path to 270 electoral votes is already precarious, North
Carolina is essentially a must-win -- a test of whether he can turn
out working-class white voters and survive organizational and TV
ad spending disadvantages to the Clinton campaign.
