Department and the Clinton Foundation. A couple of very bad ones came out, and its called pay for play. And some of these were really, really bad and illegal. A lot to get to tonight. Lets begin with cnn correspondent jim acosta and brin. Jim, this is just days after the father of the orlando shooter was sitting behind Hillary Clinton. Who was sitting behind donald trump tonight . Reporter don, you said it. Theres never a shortage of jaw dropping moments. Donald trump was trying to call attention to the fact that the father of the Orlando Night Club shooter was at a Hillary Clinton event earlier this week. He was saying this as a disgraced former congressman was sitting behind him in the audience here at this rally in sunrise, florida. That was former congressman mark foley, who resigned nearly ten years ago in disgrace after it was learned he was sending sexually explicit texts to congressional pages. So here is that moment when donald trump was talking about the father of that Orland
The Democratic Convention is under way, officially gavelled, not by the party chairwoman, forced out yesterday, practically booed off the stage by her own delegation this morning. Party hoping acrimony will yield through unity throughout the week and taking steps as we speak right now. Also tonight, rolling out heavy hitters. New jersey senator cory booker, first Lady Michelle obama, senator Elizabeth Warren and runnerup Bernie Sanders. More on booing supporters gave them in a moment.

Costello. Thank you for joining me. The Donald Trump Campaign momentum stalls, frustration builds. Just as National Polls show Hillary Clinton recapturing the lead, where hearing inside accounts of growing divisions and plunging moral. Trump is said to blame. The republican nominee responded earlier this morning. Tweeting this, quote, there is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before. But insiders say trumps tendency to become distracted and go off message is a big problem. Magnified against prominent republican, and against the parents of a muslim u. S. Soldier. Here is what our sources tell john king. Campaign chair, Paul Manafort is telling trump he must keep his promise to stay focused on the issues, and rnc boss Reince Priebus has talked to trump several times. One major flash point. Trump ignoring senior staffers, and refusing to drop the fight against those gold star parents, the kahns. One aide said to us, he keeps snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

At times, painting an exceedingly dark picture of the state of the country. The attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities, threaten our very way of life.

And portraying america as a broken nation that he is uniquely qualified to bring together. Nobody knows the system better than me. Which is why i alone can fix it. Trumps message for the public, im with you. People who work hard, but no longer have a voice, i am your voice. Rejecting globalism, trump insisting America First. His key theme, restoring law and order to a country he says has been overwhelmed with crisis and violence. The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation, will soon, and i mean very soon, come to an end. Trump, bl
