Former President Bill Clinton and vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine took aim at Donald Trump Saturday evening, lambasting him for comments he made about the Muslim parents of a fallen soldier.
Earlier in the day, during an interview with ABC News' "This Week," Trump criticized Khizr Khan, who, with his wife, Ghazala, at his side, delivered an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, condemning the wealthy businessman for his calls to ban Muslims.
The couple's son, Humayun, an Army captain, was killed by a car bomb while protecting his unit in Iraq in 2004.

Mark Cuban, the flashy billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, made a surprise stop here in his hometown to support Hillary Clinton and mock Donald Trump.
"Leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating," Cuban said. "You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff," using some local slang for an idiot.
"Is there any bigger jagoff in the world than Donald Trump?" he said as the crowd roared.

As conservative mega-donors Charles and David Koch kick off their biannual summit with their extensive network of donors, Donald Trump lobbed a preemptive shot, claiming he had rebuffed the industrialists' request for a meeting.
But top officials to the Koch operation threw cold water on that Saturday afternoon, saying they had no knowledge of a meeting request.
"I know a meeting didn't happen. You'll have to talk to him about what his facts are," said Mark Holden, a top official for Freedom Partners, which oversees the network's myriad of advocacy, grass-roots and philanthropic arms.

Bill Clinton did a lot of things on stage at his wife's campaign stop in a factory here. He laughed at jokes, he looked inquisitively at the crowd of union workers and he chewed a piece of gum.
The one thing he didn't do is talk.
As Hillary Clinton sets off on her first trip since accepting the Democratic nomination, one of the most famous and talented talkers in American politics has been unusually quiet.

To the extent Donald Trump has articulated a coherent foreign policy, it appears a dark shoot-from-the-hip unilateralism that puts him at odds with thinking that has dominated the GOP for generations.
As Trump starts his general election campaign, many Republican foreign policy and national security advisors and thinkers who have spent decades promoting America’s preeminent role in world affairs remain deeply skeptical of his views.
They say they are aghast that the GOP nominee boasts of reading little and ignoring expert advice, and instead gleaning his knowledge of global events from Sunday TV talk shows.

Donald Trump's response to a Muslim father of a fallen soldier in which he insists he's made sacrifices, caused a stir on Twitter Saturday.

John McCain has backed Donald Trump, but his granddaughter says she is still "nursing a grudge" against the Republican nominee, who famously questioned the Arizona senator’s heroism a year ago.
Caroline McCain endorsed Hillary Clinton in an essay on Medium this week.
"Trump’s statement, in my view, is unforgivable, and speaks to the kind of man he is,” she wrote. "A coward who has never faced danger in his life, an insecure brat who shirked duty for comfort, and a man who is wholly unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.”

Donald Trump responded Saturday to criticism from the Muslim father of a fallen soldier, who in an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention said the billionaire businessman has "sacrificed nothing" for the country.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Trump insisted that Khizr Khan, whose son, Humayun, was killed in 2004 by a car bomb in Iraq, was misguided in his criticisms. Trump said he has sacrificed, mostly when it comes to his business dealings.
“I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures,” Trump said in the interview. “I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot.”

Donald Trump has released his first television ad of the general election, assailing Hillary Clinton's leadership.
The ad from Trump, released Friday on social media, comes as Clinton's campaign and her allies have already spent a deluge of cash on advertising in several battleground states.
Jason Miller, a strategist for Trump, told Bloomberg Politics that the campaign is putting money behind the general-election ad but hasn’t released details about the ad buy.
