Did you get the message, Floyd Mayweather? MMA champion showman-turned-boxer Conor McGregor wore a pin-striped suit finely detailed with profanities to a Los Angeles event Tuesday to promote their August boxing match. From a distance, it appeared as though the UFC lightweight champion was wearing a normal three-piece pinstriped suit while trading barbs with Mayweather. Upon closer review, however, the Irishman’s pinstripes were revealed to be made up of the words “F--- You” repeated vertically. The suit was made by clothing label David August.

President Trump thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin would be happier with a President Hillary Clinton, especially when it comes to energy policy and America’s military might. In a preview clip of the president’s sit-down with 700 Club televangelist Pat Robertson, Trump said, “I’’m a big military person... [and] if Hillary had won, our military would be decimated. Our energy would be much more expensive. That’’s what Putin doesn’’t like about me.” He continued: “That’’s why I say, ‘Why would he want me? Because from day one I wanted a strong military, he doesn’’t want to see that. And from day one I want fracking and everything else to get energy prices low and to create tremendous energy.” By contrast, the president claimed, a President Clinton would benefit Putin on energy policy: “He would like Hillary, where she wants to have windmills. He would much rather have that because energy prices would go up and Russia as you know relies very much on energy.” Trump lamented how people believe the Kremlin wanted a Trump presidency, declaring to Robertson that his administration has done “all the things that [Putin] would hate, but nobody ever mentions that.””

Wray: ‘Wise’ to Tell FBI When Foreign Gov’t Offers Election Info

Christopher Wray, President Trump’s FBI director nominee, said on Wednesday that it would be “wise” for an individual approached by a foreign government with election information to inform the FBI. Wray was reacting at his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who claimed to have dirt on Hillary Clinton, and the circumstances surrounding that meeting. Wray added that the FBI should be informed of “any threat or effort to interfere with our election by any nation state.” Trump Jr. has shrugged off the meeting, calling it “a nothing.” He said he did not inform his father that the June 2016 meeting, which was also attended by Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, took place.
