Trump, Clinton draw crowds in Iowa
IOWA -- All eyes are on Iowa this weekend, where there were a few verbal jabs from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, this time aimed at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Trump gave away free barbecue to a big crowd of fans while Clinton held a much smaller and more sedate affair under a sycamore tree.
Trump drew a crowd around the block, one tenth the size of Oskaloosa itself.
Never mind that editorial in the state's largest newspaper calling Trump a "self-absorbed, B-list celebrity."
Trump tried to ban Des Moines Register reporters at his speech but some made it anyways.
One tweeted, "Trump staff polite; Trump silent when he saw me."
Trump energized the crowd with his signature style on immigration, even giving a shout out to Good Morning America.
Trump has the biggest lead by far of any Republican, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
But the Democratic frontrunner, also in Iowa, didn't seem daunted.
"I am not new to this and I have the scars to prove it," Clinton said.
Clinton was on a stump in a backyard and was trailed by questions about classified information in her private emails.
"The facts are pretty clear. I did not send or receive anything that was classified at the time," she said.
Internal investigators for the intelligence community are now calling for an FBI review, saying "potentially hundreds" of Clinton's messages as Secretary of State left national security material exposed.
"This is all about my desire to have transparency and to make the information public," Clinton said.
The Clinton campaign says the state department will make public more of Clinton's private emails later this week. They also say she'll testify publicy before congress later this fall on the Benghazi attacks just as the primary campaign hits primetime.
