Donald Trump's top aide leaves campaign

 

The campaign manager for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is to leave his job.

A campaign spokeswoman said Corey Lewandowski would "no longer be working with the campaign'' and said the team was grateful to him "for his hard work and dedication".

The exact reason for Mr Lewandowski's departure is not yet clear.

The New York Times said the campaign was planning adjustments to the needs of the general election campaign.

His departure comes as Mr Trump, a New York businessman, faces strong resistance from senior members of his own party over his strident tone and his hardline immigration policy.

FBI to Release Partial Transcripts of Omar Mateen's Conversations with Police

U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch said that the FBI would release a partial transcript of conversations between Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and the police. Omar killed 50 people and injured several others at the gay club in Orlando during a gunfight with the police.

The transcripts, however, will not include his declaration of loyalty to the Islamic State. “These are the calls with the Orlando PD negotiating team, who he was, where he was,” Lynch said on MSNBC. “What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda.”

James Comey, the director of the FBI, has said that Mateen made three phone calls with police during the massacre, the Washington Post reports. The transcripts will be redacted “to avoid re-victimizing those people that went through through this horror,” Lynch said on CNN. “But it will contain the substance of his conversations.”

“It’s been our goal to get as much information about this investigation into the public domain as possible,” Lynch said. “So people can understand, as we do, possibly what motivated this killer, what led him to this place and also provide us with more information.”
