Trump’s latest unfounded charge has Clinton on drugs

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Donald Trump’s latest unsubstantiated salvo against rival Hillary Clinton charges she might have been on drugs during their last debate.

The Republican is challenging her to join him in undergoing a pre-debate drug test ahead of their third and final clash.

The unfounded claim that the Democratic nominee needed pharmaceutical help took some attention away from whether voters would believe the women who claim that Trump sexually assaulted them or instead accept the Republican’s flat denials.

Also overshadowed by Trump’s accusation was the release Saturday of yet more emails hacked from accounts of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The latest batch showed the campaign worrying whether Sen. Elizabeth Warren might endorse Bernie Sanders and wrestling with how to respond to revelations about her private email use.
