  3. DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Donald Trump is losing business to Mexico – a prestigious golf tournament at his resort at Doral.

    The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that a World Golf Championship, which attracts the best players in the world and has been at Trump-owned Doral in South Florida since 2007, is relocating to Mexico City next year.

    The decision incensed Trump, who suggested Tuesday night in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, “I hope they have kidnapping insurance.”

    Cadillac did not renew its title sponsorship of the event, and PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said another sponsor that wanted to be at Doral could not be found. The tour signed a seven-year deal with Grupo Salinas, a group of Mexico City companies overseen by chairman Ricardo Salinas.

    That means Doral, the longest-running PGA Tour event in Florida dating to 1962, will not have a tournament next year.

    Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, called it a “sad day for Miami, the United States and the game of golf” to leave Doral after 54 years for Mexico.

    “No different than Nabisco, Carrier and so many other American companies, the PGA Tour has put profit ahead of thousands of American jobs, millions of dollars in revenue for local communities and charities, and the enjoyment of hundreds of thousands of fans who make the tournament an annual tradition,” Trump said. “This decision only further embodies the very reason I am running for president of the United States.”

    Trump also addressed the topic at a rally in Sacramento, California

    “They moved the World Golf Championships from Miami to Mexico City. Can you believe it? Can you believe it?” Trump told the crowd. “Not good. But that’s OK. Folks, it’s all going to be settled. You vote for Donald Trump as president, if I become your president, this stuff is all going to stop.”

    Finchem said the move had nothing to do with politics, only finances.

    “As we anticipated, some of the reaction revolves around the feeling that somehow this is a political exercise, and it is not that in any way, shape or form,” he said. “It is fundamentally a sponsorship issue. We are a conservative organization. We value dollars for our players. We have a strong sense of fiduciary responsibility. So we make decisions that are in the best interests of our players, short term and long term.”

    The coincidence of the move from Trump’s resort outside Miami to Mexico City was not lost on some of the players.

    When he announced his candidacy last year, Trump said Mexico was sending its unwanted people to the United States, and that in many cases they were “criminals, drugs dealers, rapists.”

    “It’s quite ironic that we’re going to Mexico after being at Doral,” Rory McIlroy said. “We just jump over the wall.”

    McIlroy said it was good for the World Golf Championship to be in Mexico because these events were meant to be played around the world. Three of them had been held in the United States. The other is in Shanghai.

    Trump’s son, Eric, said Cadillac was “ready, willing and able to continue as the title sponsor for the tournament.” A Cadillac spokesman said only that it made the decision not to extend its sponsorship after six years.

    Trump purchased Doral in 2012 and poured $250 million into renovations. He also brought in Gil Hanse, the architect chosen to design the Olympic course in Rio de Janeiro, to redo the course long known as the “Blue Monster.”

    The tour signed a deal with Doral through 2023, though there was a provision in the contract that a new title sponsor had the option to move it elsewhere. Finchem suggested that Trump’s ownership of Doral might have contributed to the difficulty in finding a sponsor willing to pay an estimated $12 million a year.

    But he said it was much the presence of Trump as the caustic comments that have marked his campaign.

    “I think it’s more Donald Trump is a brand – a big brand,” Finchem said. “And when you’re asking a company to invest millions of dollars in branding a tournament, and they’re going to share that brand with the host, it’s a difficult conversation. … So I think the difficulty there is more that and less politics,” he said. “The politics might have contributed some since he’s been running, but it’s more that. And he knows that.”

    Finchem said he met with Trump on Tuesday to tell him the tour’s decision.

    Salinas, whose properties include TV Azteca, was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2005 over accusations he engaged in an elaborate scheme to conceal his role in a series of transactions through which he profited $109 million. He settled a year later for $7.5 million.

    Finchem said the tour researched his history and was aware of the SEC civil suit but that “given the facts, it should not be something that would preclude us to do this particular transaction.”

    The tournament will be called the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship and will be held March 2-5. Finchem said the 2017 schedule is not set, so it was not clear if Mexico would be in the middle of the Florida swing or be held before the tour reached Florida.

    Still to be determined is the golf course. Finchem said the tour has narrowed it down to two options he did not disclose.

    The PGA Tour already has one tournament in Mexico in the fall, the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, held at a beach resort south of Cancun.

    The tour has had problems in Mexico City in the past. When a PGA Tour Champions event was held there in 2003, six players were robbed at gunpoint in a restaurant, and thieves got away with expensive watches. No one was hurt.

  7. Bryan Pagliano, the man who was responsible for setting up Hillary Clinton’s private email server at her home in Chappaqua, New York, has said that he will plead the Fifth Amendment in an open records lawsuit filed by the conservative organization Judicial Watch.

    Pagliano was scheduled to give a recorded deposition and answer questions within the next week about the unique setup that Clinton used as secretary of state. However, Pagliano’s lawyers now say he will refuse to answer any questions, and instead provide a written deposition.

    Bryan Pagliano, a former State Department employee who helped set up and maintain a private email server used by Hillary Rodham Clinton, departs Capitol Hill  in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015, to give his deposition to a House panel on the Benghazi investigation. Pagliano will assert his constitutional right not to testify before any congressional committees, his lawyer says.  (AP Photo/Cliff Owen)

    “Given the constitutional implications, the absence of any proper purpose for video recording the deposition, and the considerable risk of abuse, the Court should preclude Judicial Watch, Inc. (“Judicial Watch”) from creating an audiovisual recording of Mr. Pagliano’s deposition,” Pagliano’s lawyers wrote, according to Fox News.

    This isn’t the first time Pagliano has asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

    In September, he invoked his right after being called upon to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, something which even one of Pagliano’s own attorneys acknowledged “may be controversial in the current political environment.”

    One thing that is different for Pagliano this time around, however, is that unlike the last time he took the Fifth, he now has immunity from the Justice Department. Federal investigators cut the deal with Pagliano in March after he agreed to cooperate with them in the ongoing probe into the former top diplomat’s email practices.

  10. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the House Select Panel on Infant Lives, called on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday to investigate StemExpress and several abortion clinics for potentially violating federal law.

    Blackburn said that the Select Panel’s investigation uncovered evidence that shows StemExpress and the abortion clinics may have violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 – or HIPAA – by allowing StemExpress to review the private medical records of patients.

    In a letter to the Office of Centralized Case Management Operations at HHS, Blackburn wrote that “These violations occurred when the abortion clinics disclosed patients’ individually identifiable health information to StemExpress to facilitate the [tissue procurement business’] efforts to procure human fetal tissue for resale.”

    Blackburn said in a statement that “The key to understanding the HIPAA and consent violations that we’ve referred to HHS is that there’s a business contract between StemExpress and the abortion clinics under which both sides make a profit from the baby body parts inside the young woman’s womb.”

    “The contract changes the way both entities view the young woman: her baby is now a profit-center,” she added. “This betrayal of a young woman’s trust should disgust us all. It takes financial advantage, obtains consent through coercion, and deceives the woman, all in violation of federal privacy laws.”

    The House authorized the Select Panel to investigate allegations that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, is selling aborted fetal body parts to researchers for profit. The allegations were raised by a series of undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives that appeared to show them negotiating the price of fetal body parts “per specimen.”

    Trafficking human body parts – including those of the unborn – is a felony in the United States. Spokespersons for Planned Parenthood have denied making a profit from illegal transactions and announced it will no longer accept “reimbursement” for donations of body parts to researchers.

    David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical Progress and the filmmaker behind the undercover videos, said in a statement that “Stem Express paid Planned Parenthood the break the law.”

    “The documents released today by the Select Investigative Panel show StemExpress and the biggest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the country engaged in a five-year-long scheme to profit off aborted baby body parts using unprotected confidential patient information and disregarding normal patient protections, in direct violation of HIPAA and other federal laws,” Daleiden said. “Now we know why Planned Parenthood and their allies have fought so hard to oppose any scrutiny of their barbaric aborted baby body parts business: the violations in Planned Parenthood and StemExpress’ illegal baby body parts trade goes far deeper than anyone ever realized.”

    “CMP’s videos only scratched the surface of the systematic profiteering off the private health information and baby body parts from pregnant women that Planned Parenthood and their business partners like StemExpress relentlessly pursued,” he continued. “Elected officials at all levels must now act immediately to hold lawless entities like StemExpress and Planned Parenthood accountable for their atrocities against humanity.”

    Congressional Democrats and Planned Parenthood have asked House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to disband the panel. One hundred and eighty one House Democrats wrote a letter to Ryan in which they argued that the panel “lacks credible evidence” to continue its investigation.

    “[T]he Chair and majority staff continue to harass individuals, researchers, clinics, and health care facilities, issuing a total of 35 subpoenas so far, often without reaching out to the subject of the subpoena to ask for voluntary compliance first or without giving subjects sufficient time to comply,” they wrote. “Congress simply has no business ‘prosecuting’ these unfounded allegations.”

    AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan, told the Washington Post that “Speaker Ryan supports the Select Committee’s continued efforts to protect infant lives.”

    Blackburn told Fox News she is using her subpoena power to fully investigate the matter.

  12. Hillary Clinton took a page from Donald Trump’s playbook Wednesday, going on an all-out Twitter rant to openly criticize her Republican opponent for his past business practices and, most notably, Trump University.

    “New documents confirm Trump ‘University’ was a scam that preyed on families to make money,” one tweet from Clinton read. Another referenced Trump calling a reporter on Tuesday a “sleaze.”

    “The gist: Trump’s for-profit university deceived & exploited students to take their money. And he has the gall to call the media ‘sleazy.’”

    Yet another tweet put out by the Democratic presidential candidate alleged that Trump “intentionally put people at risk” by being “misleading, fraudulent, and dishonest.”

    She accused the brash, billionaire businessman in another tweet of “lying” and committing “fraud.”

    Clinton then used Trump’s business practices to say that he would treat the American people the same way as he has been accused of treating his customers.

    “He’s trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University,” she wrote.

  13. WASHINGTON (AP) — Civil liberties groups are criticizing an FBI proposal that they say would make it harder for people to know if personal information about them such as fingerprints and iris scans is on file.

    The FBI is proposing to exempt a large identification database from certain provisions of the federal Privacy Act, a law that, among other things, lets individuals sue to see what information the government keeps on them.

    That database, known as the Next Generation Identification system, contains a wealth of biometric data such as fingerprints, palm prints, photographs and iris scans. It holds photographs submitted by law enforcement agencies but also millions of fingerprints of Americans who have undergone background checks.

    The proposed Privacy Act exemption is needed “to prevent interference with the FBI’s mission to detect, deter and prosecute crimes and to protect the national security,” according to a Justice Department notice that appeared recently in the Federal Register. FBI and Justice Department officials noted this week that law enforcement agencies may claim exemptions for records “compiled for the purpose of identifying criminals and for conducting criminal investigations.”

    They also said in a statement: “The Department of Justice and the FBI take very seriously their strict compliance with the Constitution, all federal laws including the Privacy Act, and their own policies regarding the free exercise of constitutional rights.”

    The public has an opportunity to object to the proposed rule change.

    Among the groups challenging the proposal is the American Civil Liberties Union, which says the change would make it harder for people to know whether the government maintains information on them and whether that information contains errors.

    Neema Singh Guliani, ACLU legislative counsel, said in a statement that it was disturbing that the FBI has been collecting biometric information “without adequate privacy protections.”

    “But, now they want to strip away the basic right of these individuals to find out whether their information has been stored, shared or contains errors. The FBI should abandon this misguided proposal, and instead focus on providing greater transparency and accountability into its current practices,” she said.
