Fahrenthold posts image of the check from Trump's foundation for the portrait of himself
https://twitter.com/Fahrenthold/status/776163260865314816Here's the check that @realdonaldtrump sent for that painting. Clearly came from his foundation, w/his signature.
In another tweet, he says that:
Fahrenthold is the WashPost investigative journalist who wrote the Trump foundation story. Not sure what to make of this.
Clinton campaign releases additional medical records
Source: USA Today
Hillary Clinton is releasing more detailed medical records Wednesday that describe the form of pneumonia she's been diagnosed with as a mild, non-contagious bacterial infection and which include more specifics about the results of routine lab tests, such as blood cholesterol levels and her annual mammogram.
...
In July 2015, Bardack, an internist in Mount Kisco, N.Y., said Clinton is a healthy 67-year-old female whose current medical conditions include hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergies. She concluded then that Clinton is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve.
Clinton's history of blood clots has been a focus. Clinton, who is now 68, had to undergo anticoagulation therapy to dissolve a blood clot and had to wear special glasses to correct double vision for nearly two months starting in late 2012. Bardack said follow-up exams in 2013 revealed complete resolution of the effects of the concussion as well as total dissolution of the thrombosis. Shes had two prior blood clots in her leg, once in 1998 and once in 2009.

This is a good start, but I think Hillary has an opportunity here to really put this ridiculous controversy to bed by releasing the underlying tests her doctor mentioned as well as waiving HIPAA and having her doctor take questions from the media. She shouldn't have to but it is an opportunity to contrast herself with Trump's bogus Dr. Oz release and put this whole issue behind her.

Quinnipiac: Clinton leads by 5 among likely voters, 2 in 4-way race
Down from 10 in the last poll, but not nearly as bad as we had feared.
Poll was conducted September 8-13, so Sunday's events partially but not fully reflected.

*** NEVADA POLL (Monmouth): Trump 44 Clinton 42 Johnson 8
https://twitter.com/mmurraypolitics/status/776104482056744960NEW Monmouth poll of Nevada likely voters:
Trump 44 Clinton 42 Johnson 8
Senate:
Heck 46 Cortez-Masto 43
All I have so far is the twitter link.
POLL: Clinton/Trump tied in 4 way, Clinton +1 in 2-way among LV (Reuters/Ipsos)
2 way LV: Clinton 40, Trump 39
4 way LV: Clinton 39, Trump 39, Johnson 8, Stein 2
2 way RV: Clinton 43, Trump 37
4 way RV: Clinton 40, Trump 36, Johnson 8, Stein 3
As you can see, Hillary does better among registered voters than likely voters. So some of the tightening we have seen may be because it's usually around this time that pollsters switch to the likely voter screen.
Additional notes:
Poll conducted September 8-12, so mostly before the incident Sunday
Poll puts party ID with leaners at 43 D, 33 R

Politifact rates President Obama's assertion re. Trump Foundation TRUE
Fahrenthold verified the anecdote about the painting with the painter, and his reporting found that, at the time the painting was auctioned, the vast majority of funds in the foundations coffers were from other people, not Trump. Based on the information available, the story seems solid.
We rate Obamas statement True.

New York attorney general opens 'inquiry' into Trump Foundation
Source: Politico
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an investigation into the Donald J. Trump Foundation to make sure its complying with the laws governing charities in New York," he said Tuesday.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed Schneidermans remark and said the New York Attorney Generals office has opened an inquiry into the Trump Foundation based on troubling transactions that have recently come to light.
Schneiderman -- who for months has tangled with Trump over a fraud lawsuit his office filed against Trump University, the Manhattan billionaires real estate seminar program -- told CNNs The Lead that the GOP nominees charitable foundation is also under scrutiny.

I am proud of the New York's tradition of vigorous AG investigations. Unlike his Florida counterpart, I don't think Schneiderman will be bought off.
