The Washington Times: Hillary Clinton’s closing argument is all about Donald Trump, as she piled on accusations Monday that the Republican presidential nominee is a threat to national security, in league with Russia and ready to start nuclear war.
The rapid-fire assault — including a lengthy white paper, a new TV ad and a stump speech focused almost entirely on attacking Mr. Trump — served to deflect attention for the FBI reopening an investigation of Mrs. Clinton for using a secret email setup as secretary of state, which sent her campaign into panic mode a week before the election.
At a rally at Kent State University in Ohio, Mrs. Clinton implied that there were political motivations behind the FBIprobe into her secret email setup at the State Department and potentially criminal mishandling of government secrets, and quickly pivoted to attacking Mr. Trump.
“I am running against a man who says he doesn’t understand why we can’t use nuclear weapons. He actually said, ‘Then why are we making them?’” she said. “He wants more countries to have nuclear weapons — Japan, South Korea, even Saudi Arabia. Imagine nuclear weapons smack in the middle of the Middle East.”
Mrs. Clinton said the most important question facing voters in the presidential election was whether the next president can be trusted with the nuclear arsenal and “literally make life-or-death decisions about war and peace.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Trump, at a rally in Michigan, blasted Mrs. Clinton with allegations that she is a criminal and applauded the FBI for finally catching up with her.
