HUFFPOST HILL - Guy From Weird Ads On The Bottom Of Websites Interviews Trump

Speculation around Hillary Clinton’s health continued, though no one is asking whether Donald Trump uses all that spray tan to cover a case of whatever that guy in “Powder” had. The U.S. and Russia are ramping up espionage operations against one another, reminding us that nothing sets off the cider vinaigrette in our Sweetgreen grain bowl quite like some polonium. And Colin Powell called the Cheneys “idiots,” though Dick Cheney couldn’t be reached for comment because he is currently eating a child’s heart for its lifeforce. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Wednesday, September 14, 2016:

THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES - Sam Stein, Dave Jamieson, Ben Walsh and Igor Bobic: “In a television appearance touting her father’s newly released maternity leave and child care plans, Ivanka Trump said that the Trump Organization provided all of its thousands of employees with paid maternity leave. If it does, that’s news to employees at many of the Trump Organization’s hotels. The Huffington Post on Wednesday morning checked the validity of Ivanka Trump’s comments to ABC. Employees at the Trump SoHo, New York and Miami hotels, as well as the Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, all said that they do not offer workers paid maternity leave. Instead, they said that the company complied with the Family and Medical Leave Act, a federal law that requires companies to give employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off for the adoption or birth of a child.” [HuffPost]
