Donald Trump is at it again. On Friday, the Republican Presidential Candidate said that the bodyguards assigned to the Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton, should "disarm immediately" and "see what happens." "She goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before," he said at a Miami, Florida campaign rally. "I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Right? Right? I think they should disarm immediately. What do you think? Yes? Yes. Yeah. Take their guns away. She doesn't want guns. Let's see what happens to her. Take their guns away, okay? It would be very dangerous.

After Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis was belatedly disclosed on Sunday, supporters are rallying around the Democratic nominee and saying her commitment to campaigning through the illness proves she's "tough as hell." Clinton's critics, on the other hand, remain skeptical as ever, with Gop nominee Donald Trump seemingly suggesting his opponent's health issues go beyond pneumonia. Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton, 68, in the past, told the Associated Press that her jam-packed weekend after being diagnosed with pneumonia was "an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies." "After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting,...

Just hours before news broke that husband Anthony Weiner was caught in his third sexting scandal in five years, top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin was attending a big-dollar fundraiser with her boss at the Hamptons home of Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel. Diamonstein-Spielvogel, the chairwoman of the New York State Council on the Arts, tells People that Abedin has "been through enough" and "she deserves our respect and privacy in this really difficult time in her life."

Huffington Post co-founders Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer have settled a lawsuit that claimed they stole the idea behind the site from two Democratic consultants. The lawsuit came in New York Superior Court from Peter Daou and James Boyce, who alleged that in 2004, they gave the HuffPo founders a memorandum that proposed a website and blog collective to serve as a counterpoint to prominent conservative sites like Drudge Report. The lawsuit further claimed that Huffington had agreed to participate in the project, present it to potential investors, and through a series of meetings had formed a joint venture

A New York judge refused for a second time Arianna Huffington and Ken Lerer's request to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that the media moguls stole the idea for the Huffington Post, according to court documents obtained by TheWrap. The new ruling on Thursday also includes claims of fraud and unjust enrichment, new allegations in a case that has been ongoing since October 2011, when two Democratic political operatives, Peter Daou and James Boyce, sued Huffington and Lerer for allegedly stealing an idea they brought to the pair in 2004. The news...

Did Arianna Huffington and Ken Lerer steal the idea for the Huffington Post? Though Huffington has deemed the allegation "ridiculous," a judge thinks that a lawsuit making that claim is serious enough to go to trial, per a ruling in a New York court Wednesday. Peter Daou and James Boyce, two former political advisers, filed suit against the HuffPost co-founders last November claiming that they took their idea for a liberal-leaning news site. Since then, Huffington and Lerer have tried to have the case thrown out, but to no avail. The judge ruled...

By Robyn Twomey (Huffington); by Julian Dufort (Boyce and Daou).In the winter of their discontent (November 2010), James Boyce and Peter Daou, two Democratic consultants for the Huffington Post, filed a lawsuit claiming to have created the blueprint for HuffPo in 2004. According to Boyce and Daou, their proposal for “1460,” a liberal answer to the Drudge Report, became the basis for Arianna Huffington’s eponymous Internet portal, which was sold to AOL for $315 million in February. Responding to Boyce and Daou’s claims, Huffington wrote, “Your suggestion, after nearly 6 years, that you understood all along that we were in a ‘partnership’ to create and operate the Huffington Post is stunning. And ridiculous.” Yesterday, a Manhattan judge refused a motion by Huffington’s lawyers to dismiss the suit, moving the case into a discovery and fact-finding phase. In the February 2011 issue of Vanity Fair, contributing editor William D. Cohan dissected Boyce and Daou’s claims.

A pair of Democratic strategists filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming that Huffington Post founders Arianna Huffington and Ken Lerer stole their idea for the site. In the suit filed in New York Supreme Court late Monday, Peter Daou and James Boyce -- who served as consultants for John Kerry and Hillary Clinton’s failed 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns, respectively -- allege Huffington and Lerer “entered into a joint venture” with them to develop the liberal site they, in fact, had "conceived.” According to the suit, Daou and Boyce -- who have...
