1. State Department investigating Clinton Foundation
A previously secret investigation of the Clinton family charity was revealed by the Washington Post, and, separately, a judge ordered new batches of Hillary Clinton’s emails to be released. Fun!
Summary
The Clinton Foundation inquiry asks whether projects during Clinton’s time as secretary of state underwent appropriate government review, and also focuses on aide Huma Abedin.
2. Black Caucus Pac endorses Clinton
The Congressional Black Caucus Pac endorsed Clinton, and Representative John Lewis, the civil rights icon, said of Bernie Sanders’ civil rights record: “I never saw him. I never met him.”

3. Trump settles with Univision
The Spanish-language broadcaster dumped Trump’s Miss USA pageant last summer because he’d offended many Hispanics. He sued for $500m. The settlement terms are secret.
4. Sanders goes on Stephen Colbert
“People have a right to be angry,” Sanders said. “We have a right to be angry when we are the only major country on Earth that doesn’t provide paid family and medical leave.”
Even if Sanders wins the popular vote, Clinton could still get the nomination

5. Cruz, Rubio weigh in on draft for women
Republicans Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who both have day jobs in the Senate, said they’d back a bill barring the White House from including women in selective service registrations.
Summary
Rubio was looking loose on the South Carolina stump, meanwhile, despite cracking a molar on a Twix bar (?!). He attacked Trump for spouting “profanities”.
