NEW YORK (AP) — Energized by a final batch of primary victories, Hillary Clinton is setting out on the difficult task of uniting her fractured Democratic Party for the five-month presidential battle with Republican Donald Trump. Fellow Democrats are growing more insistent in trying to push Bernie Sanders out of his all-but-hopeless challenge to her.
Sanders vowed to continue to his campaign to the last contest in the District of Columbia next Tuesday. But about half his campaign staff is being laid off, two people familiar with the plans said Wednesday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the layoffs.
An expert in financial and securities law says he's "skeptical" New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman can build a strong case against Exxon Mobil for fraud and deception.
