MPR News Update, PM Edition for July 27, 2016

Trump was referring to the ongoing controversy surrounding the private server Clinton used while secretary of state.

That's not hyperbole, those are just the facts," Clinton senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement. | Related: Why would Vladimir Putin want to leak the DNC emails? | Forecast
