Pumpkin carvers took a creative stab at the likenesses of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for Halloween; check out these “Trumpkins” and “Clintkins.” 

A Vladimir “Putkin” even made it in Dublin, Ohio, painter Jeanette Paras’s 26th annual display this year.

At a time when Donald Trump’s casinos were bleeding money and he was badly in debt, the Republican presidential nominee used a “legally dubious” accounting maneuver to avoid reporting hundreds of millions of dollars in income, according to a New York Times report Monday.

In the early 1990s, Trump convinced financial backers to forgive large debts he could not repay, the paper wrote. But he avoided having to report the canceled debts as income because he gave the backers equity in his partnerships that owned the casinos, effectively writing off the income.

Trump’s attorneys advised him at the time that if he were audited, the Internal Revenue Service would not look favorably upon the tactic, the paper reported. In 2004, Congress voted to outlaw the practice. Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton was among those who voted to close the loophole.

Vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine plans to give a speech entirely in Spanish as he campaigns in Phoenix on Thursday, part of an effort by Democrats to boost Latino voting in Arizona in hopes of winning the reliably Republican state.

According to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, that’s a first for a rally in an American presidential contest.

But it’s not the first time the Virginia senator has showcased his fluency in Spanish, which he burnished as a missionary in Honduras.

Hillary Clinton implored her supporters to do the unthinkable Monday night: Imagine Donald Trump was elected president.

"I'd prefer to be motivated by what we're for and not what we're against. But I also think it's prudent to imagine what could happen if we don’t do our part," the Democratic hopeful said as the sun set on her evening rally on the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati.

"When in the future somebody asks you, maybe your kids or your grandkids, what did you do when everything was on the line, I want you to be able to say, I voted for a better, fairer, stronger America."

Donald Trump's campaign sought to distance him from his former campaign chief Paul Manafort on Monday night following reports that the FBI is looking into the ex-aide's foreign business ties.

"Mr. Trump severed ties with Mr. Manafort many months ago. Mr. Trump has no knowledge of any of his past or present activities," campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email.

NBC News reported Monday that federal investigators had begun a preliminary inquiry into Manafort's ties to Russian interests.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign sought to deflect attention from a new email-related investigation by arguing that FBI Director James B. Comey, who made the review public, was acting hypocritically.

Comey reportedly resisted the government's move this month to publicly accuse Russia of interfering in U.S. political affairs, citing the timing so close to an election. Then on Friday, Comey stepped into uncharted territory by disclosing the existence of a new review of emails possibly linked to Clinton's private server.

Campaign spokesman Brian Fallon called the discrepancy “a pretty astonishing double standard.”

The Republican leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday demanded additional information about the FBI's new investigation of emails that may be related to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said the bureau’s vague disclosure on Friday about the new review, just 11 days before the presidential election, was unsatisfactory and unfair.

'[Y]our disclosure did not go far enough,” Grassley wrote to FBI Director James B. Comey about Comey's notice to congressional leaders about a new review of emails related to Clinton aide Huma Abedin. “Unfortunately, your letter failed to give Congress and the American people enough context to evaluate the significance or full meaning of this development. Without additional context, your disclosure is not fair to Congress, the American people or Secretary Clinton.”

CNN distanced itself from interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile after supposedly hacked emails said she gave Hillary Clinton’s campaign advance word about a question for a March 6 primary debate with Bernie Sanders.

Brazile was a commentator for CNN and a vice chair at the DNC at the time. She was suspended in July when she took over the DNC chair duties.

Hillary Clinton urged voters not to be "distracted" by the FBI's revived scrutiny of her email practices and sought to turn the focus to her Republican rival, casting Donald Trump as an untested leader who can't be trusted with nuclear weapons.

Kicking off the final week of the presidential race with a rally at Kent State University, Clinton acknowledged that voters may be asking what "this new email story is about," or "why in the world the FBI would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of wrongdoing with just days to go."

"That's a good question," she added with a chuckle, before saying investigators "by all means" should examine thousands of emails found on a laptop computer apparently used by the husband of a top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin.

A white nationalist leader who has funded several ads supporting Donald Trump has a new robocall in Utah targeting Evan McMullin, the upstart who could stop a Trump victory in the Beehive State.

McMullin poses a serious threat to Trump in Utah, where voters, many of whom are Mormon, have never fully warmed to the celebrity businessman's candidacy.

The robocall beginning Monday seeks to sway Utah's conservative religious electorate by highlighting McMullin's personal life; after his parents divorced, his mother married a woman.
