After a dramatic presidential debate, multiple women came forward accusing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of unwanted sexual advances, charges he denies. WikiLeaks released more rounds of emails from within the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton that suggested Clinton was fed a question for a televised town hall and that a staffer communicated with the Department of Justice about Clinton’s emails, among other revelations. Both ongoing stories have reverberated throughout both political parties and the electorate. On the international front, the Navy launched missiles at rebel sites in Yemen after attacks on U.S. ships, Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej passed away after a 70-year reign and Nigeria’s Boko Haram freed the 21 kidnapped Chibok girls after being captive for over two years. Read more about these stories and the other biggest news events of the week, as they appeared in The Daily Edition. 1. 2 additional women accuse Trump of sexual assault—CNN, Jeremy Diamond and Daniella Diaz Top line: “Two additional women on Friday stepped forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexually assaulting them, the latest revelations to rock the GOP nominee’s campaign… The allegations, which have rocked Trump’s presidential campaign, emerged days after audio of a lewd conversation in which Trump bragged in 2005 about kissing and groping women surfaced last Friday. Trump apologized for the words, but insisted in the second presidential debate Sunday that he never sexually assaulted women in the way he boasted about on tape in 2005. The women who have leveled allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump this week have all said the publication of the 2005 tape and Trump’s denial in Sunday’s debate prompted them to come forward.” Topic to follow: Donald Trump 2.

Donald Trump’s GOP civil war—CNN, Stephen Collinson Top line: “On one side is Trump, who spent much of Tuesday lashing out on social media at his GOP foes, such as Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain, and lamenting the lack of party unity. He’s backed by conservative lawmakers including Iowa Rep. Steve King and the throngs of loyal supporters who attend his rallies, including the one here in Panama City, Florida, Tuesday, where he renewed his call for a government investigation into his opponent, Hillary Clinton. On the other side is Ryan, who is devoting the full resources of his stature to maintaining a congressional majority. That dominance of Capitol Hill is suddenly threatened — and not just in the Senate, where there are many competitive races, but also in the House, where the GOP majority was considered untouchable until recently.” Topic to follow: Republican Party 6.
