Obama: No politics in Clinton email investigation
President Obama said Hillary Clinton exhibited "carelessness" in handling emails, but defended his former secretary of state and said that politics will not influence an ongoing investigation of her. "I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the FBI — not just in this case, but in any case," Obama said on Fox News Sunday. Obama also said he believes Clinton "has not jeopardized America’s national security." It was Obama's first appearance on Fox News Sunday during his presidency.

Pacquiao defeats Bradley again, retires (for now)
If he does go through with his plan to retire, Manny Pacquaio certainly went out on a high note. Pacquaio, 37, knocked Timothy Bradley down twice en route to a unanimous decision victory Saturday night. Pacquaio won the last two fights of their celebrated trilogy and most thought he won the first in 2012 that ended with a highly controversial win for Bradley. But will Pacquaio retire?<span style="color: Red;">*</span>He answered it this way: “I have a commitment to my family that I am going to retire after this but I don’t know,” he said. “Maybe I will enjoy being a retired man and helping the people.”
