US President Barack Obama canceled his first meeting with Philippines counterpart Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday after the blunt-spoken Duterte described him as a “son of a bitch,” casting a shadow over a gathering of Asian leaders in Laos.

Duterte, who has been roundly criticized abroad for a “war on drugs” that has killed about 2,400 people since he took office two months ago, said hours later that he regretted his comments “came across as a personal attack” on the US president.

“President Duterte explained that the press reports that President Obama would ‘lecture’ him on extrajudicial killings led to his strong comments, which in turn elicited concern,” the Philippines government said.(nypost.com)…[+]

Newly released FBI documents detailing the bureau’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails reveal the aide who would likely follow her into the White House as chief counsel was central to a cover-up of evidence sought by investigators.

If you believe what Hillary Clinton recently told FBI investigators, classified State Department information wound up on an unsecured e-mail system in her New York home after aide Huma Abedin took it upon herself in 2009 to task a young campaign functionary to slip into the basement and, without her knowing it, set up a private e-mail server to run as a parallel system.

This was all done without her authorization, Clinton claimed, and for reasons unbeknown to her. The FBI, which refused to file charges against Clinton, apparently bought the far-fetched alibi — hook, line and server.(nypost.com)…[+]
