Freshly assimilated into the Trump Collective, RNC strategist Sean Spicer says Mr Trump has made clear that the RNC must launch “aggressive” attacks on Hillary Clinton and not follow its past practice of not be willing to attack opponents.

Along those lines, David Cay Johnston has a new article out about how Donald Trump’s rise in the world of Manhattan real estate was paved or, perhaps better to say, cemented with enduring ties to members of organized crime. Johnston’s article is based on his and Wayne Barrett’s years of reporting on Mr Trump. And guess, what, Barrett is joining us at The Hive (sub req) at 12:30 PM to answer your questions about Mr Trump. Join me at 12:30 with Wayne, TPM Senior Editor Catherine Thompson and fellow readers.
