Trump Doubles Down On Judge Criticism, Hillary Has Votes For Nom, Obama To Endorse Hillary?

Clinton, Sanders blitz California on final day of campaigning.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are blitzing California on an intense final day of campaigning in the 2016 Democratic primary.

The former secretary of state on Tuesday is expected to become the first female presumptive nominee of a major party -- a feat that will likely raise pressure on Sanders to drop his bid quickly. The Vermont senator has been loathe to discuss exiting the race -- even raising the potential over the weekend of a contested convention -- but struck a more subdued note Monday.

"Let me just talk to you after the primary here in California, where we hope to win," Sanders told reporters at a news conference. "Let's assess where we are after tomorrow before we make statements based on speculation."

Trump orders surrogates to keep criticizing judge, sources say.

Donald Trump on Monday ordered surrogates on a campaign call to keep criticizing a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit against him, according to two sources on the call.

Trump has ignited a firestorm by calling federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel a "hater" and describing the Indiana-born jurist as "a Mexican."

The presumptive Republican nominee told top surrogates on the conference call to ignore a campaign memo issued the night before urging them to dodge questions about the lawsuit and Trump's controversial questioning of the judge's impartiality, the sources told CNN. The call was first reported by Bloomberg Politics.

Trump made it clear on the conference call that there would be no apologies for his comments about the judge and said he feels that he's been wronged in the fierce criticism he has faced over the comments, a top Republican official and a Trump campaign surrogate told CNN, requesting anonymity to divulge details of a private conversation.

John Oliver makes 'TV history' by forgiving $15 million in medical debt.

As part of a scathing takedown of the debt-purchasing industry, late night comedian John Oliver forgave nearly $15 million of medical debt with a tap of a giant red button on Sunday night.

Oliver called the giveaway the "largest one-time giveaway in television history." He just about doubled the value of Oprah Winfrey's famous "You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" giveaway to her entire studio audience in 2004.

The stunt followed a long look at debt collectors on his HBO show "Last Week Tonight," in which Oliver sharply rebuked debt purchasers for unscrupulous behavior that is limited by hardly any regulatory oversight. (HBO is owned by CNNMoney's parent company, Time Warner.)

The segment included a hidden camera brought into a Debt Buyers Association conference by "Last Week Tonight" staffers, which showed panelists appearing to scoff at how Americans don't understand their legal rights about paying their debts.

To further illustrate the lack of regulation and ease at which debt collectors can harass people over money they owe, Oliver said "Last Week Tonight" spent $50 to create its own debt collection agency, based in Mississippi.
