In Emails, Powell calls
Trump a ‘Disgrace’
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a trove of
newly leaked emails, former Secretary
of State Colin Powell calls Donald
Trump “a national disgrace” and
suggests his own Republican Party is
“crashing and burning.”
Powell also laments Hillary Clinton’s
attempt to equate her use of private
email at the State Department with his.
The emails, posted on the website
DCLeaks.com and irst reported by
Buzzfeed News late Tuesday, ofer in-
sight into the unvarnished opinions
of the respected retired Army general
who was secretary of state under Pres-
ident George W. Bush. The messages
run from March 2015 through last
month.
Powell, 79, did not respond Wednes-
day to a phone message or email seek-
ing comment. He earlier told BuzzFeed
that he does not deny the emails’ au-
thenticity. In the emails, Powell said he
stayed relatively quiet during the rise
of Trump, the Republican presidential
nominee. “To go on and call him an id-
iot just emboldens him,”
Powell said.

We honor

of African
Americans.
It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the
lives of all people working in the building
trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and
the long-held belief that workers deserve a “family
wage” - fair pay for an honest day’s work.
A family wage, and the beneits that go with it, not
only strengthens families, but also allows our
communities to become stronger, more
cohesive, and more responsive to their citizens’
needs.
Our family wage agenda relects our commitment
to people working in the building trades, and to
workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing
our part to help people achieve the American
Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear
regardless of race, color, national origin, gender,
creed, or religious beliefs.

her doctor said in a letter released
Wednesday by her campaign.
The health details made public by the
Democratic presidential nominee in-
cluded a description of the pneumonia
diagnosis Clinton received last week
Friday.
Her illness became public ater she
let Sunday’s 9/11 memorial service
early and was seen on video staggering
while getting into a van.
The health episode fueled long-sim-
mering conservative conspiracy theo-
ries about Clinton’s health and provid-
ed a fresh line of attack for rival Donald
Trump, who has frequently questioned
whether Clinton has the stamina to
serve as commander in chief.
Facing criticism about a lack of trans-
parency when it comes to her health,
Clinton’s campaign promised to dis-
close more detailed information about
her health this week.
The letter released Wednesday by
the campaign stated that Clinton un-
derwent a chest scan that revealed she
had “mild, non-contagious bacterial
pneumonia,” according to Clinton’s
physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of in-
ternal medicine at CareMount Medical
in Mount Kisco, New York.
She was treated with a 10-day course
of Levaquin, an antibiotic used to treat
infections.
