Over
300 'Predator Priests' In Pennsylvania Accused Of Abuse
More than 1,000 children -- and possibly many more -- were molested
by hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses, while
senior church officials took steps to cover it up, according to a landmark
grand jury report released Tuesday. The grand jury said it believes the
"real number" of abused children might be "in the thousands" since some
records were lost and victims were afraid to come forward. The report said
more than 300 clergy committed the abuse over a period of decades. CBS

Trump's
'That Dog' Attack On Omarosa Is Latest Insult
President Trump on Tuesday added his former White House aide, Omarosa
Manigault Newman, to the growing list of African-Americans he has publicly
denigrated on Twitter, calling her that dog and a crazed, crying lowlife
in the wake of her allegations against him of mental deterioration and
racism. Even for a president who consistently takes to Twitter to assail
his adversaries, the morning tweet about Ms. Manigault Newman was a remarkably
crude use of the presidential bully pulpit to disparage a minority woman
who once served at the highest levels in his White House. NY

VOA VIEW: Kind words - Omarosa is an idiot.

Manafort's Defense Rests Without Calling Any Witnesses
The defense in former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manaforts tax and

Endorsements: Loyalists, Rising Stars And Safe Bets He's Picked
President Trump has bucked the tradition set by previous presidents
by endorsing many candidates during primary season, adding his influence

He has picked candidates he sees as the most electable, or the most loyal,

Ted
Cruz, Beta O'Rourke Woo Voters In Battleground North Texas
Cruz, the incumbent Republican, was at The Pantry in McKinney and Babe's
Chicken House in Arlington, holding classic retail meet and greets, urging
conservatives to support his re-election bid and stem the predicted blue
wave that propel Democrats and his rival. O'Rourke was hosting big town
hall meetings in Richardson and DeSoto, areas that offer him opportunities
to woo persuadable voters, while mining the traditional Democratic base.
His morning town hall in Richardson drew an estimated crowd of 2,500, with
attendees spilling into overflow rooms. Dallas News

Less
Than Half Of Female Millennials Identify As Feminists
Less than half of millennial women said they think of themselves as
feminists, according to a new poll released Tuesday. CBS News released
the poll that found 46 percent of American women aged 18-35 identified
as feminists with only 34 percent of women over the age of 35 identifying
the same way. The results were split along party lines with 63 percent
of millennials who identify as Democrats surveyed saying they associated
themselves with the term and only 29 percent of Republican millennial respondents
saying the same. Forty-eight percent of those that identified as independents
said they felt they were feminists. Hill

Paul: 'It's Naive' To Expect Russians To Admit To Election
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said on Tuesday that Russian officials refused
to acknowledge interfering in the 2016 presidential campaign during his
recent trip to Moscow and Saint Petersburg, which was encouraged by President
Donald Trump. But Paul, a top Trump ally, called hopes that Russia would
eventually admit to election meddling "naive" and said the U.S. should
cease expecting a diplomatic confession from Russian President Vladimir
Putin or members of his government. Houston Chronicle

Huckabee Sanders's Stunning Non-Denial That Trump Used N-Word
The person who speaks for the president on Tuesday declined to vouch
for him. Asked whether there is a tape anywhere of Donald Trump using the
n-word, as former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has claimed,
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pointedly and repeatedly
declined to rule it out. At one point she even said, I cant guarantee
anything. Washington Post

Campaign Files For Arbitration Against Omarosa
Donald Trump's presidential campaign has filed for arbitration proceedings

a tell-all book from her time on the president's 2016 campaign and in the
White House. The move is the latest escalation between the former "Apprentice"
star and the president, who has labeled Manigualt Newman "wacky," "deranged"
and a "dog" in posts to his Twitter account this week. Politico

Weeks To Election Day As 4 More States Hold Primaries For Congress
With less than three months until the mid-term elections for the U.S.
House and Senate, four more states hold primaries today for the Congress,
but the roster of races is unlikely to produce the news associated with
last weeks tight race in a special U.S. House election in Ohio, which
amplified questions about whether the GOP can maintain control of Capitol
Hill after November. AJC

Tinder
And Match Group Were Poor Match From The Beginning
The legal dispute between Tinder and parent company Match Group is
new, but the bad blood between key figures at the two companies apparently
isn't. Three of Tinder's cofounders, along with a group of current and
former key employees, believe that the management of Match Group and its
corporate parent, IAC, have repeatedly reneged on formal agreements and
shorted them of money and ownership since the founding of the dating-app
company in 2012, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday. Business

3 Conspiracy Theorists Took 'Q' And Sparked Qanon
David Reinert holds a large "Q" sign while waiting to see President
Donald Trump at a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, on Aug. 2, 2018.
"Q" represents QAnon, a conspiracy theory group that has been seen at recent
rallies. In November 2017, a small-time YouTube video creator and two moderators
of the 4chan website, one of the most extreme message boards on the internet,
banded together and plucked out of obscurity an anonymous and cryptic post
from the many conspiracy theories that populated the website's message

Uber
Hires Former NSA Counsel As New Security Head
Uber has hired a new chief security officer, the New York Times reports,
filling the role that has remained vacant since Joe Sullivan was fired
last year. Sullivan was fired for his role in covering up a data breach
that exposed the personal info of around 57 million Uber customers and
drivers. Instead of reporting the breach, Uber paid the hackers that stole
the information $100,000 to delete the data. Matt Olsen, former general
counsel of the National Security Agency and former director of the National
Counterterrorism Center, stepped in to help the company structure its security
processes following the disclosure and he has now been named as its new
chief security officer. Engadget
