Clinton and Trump clash on terrorism and guns in address
In starkly different tones, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump proposed contrasting plans to curb terrorism and gun violence after a deadly Orlando attack. Trump pushed immigration bans and suspensions on certain regions, while Clinton urged targeting lone wolf attackers, expanding air campaigns against ISIL, pressuring allies like Saudi Arabia Kuwait and Qatar to curb funding, and banning assault weapons.

Orlando nightclub massacre suspect with prior FBI scrutiny
The Orlando shooter Omar Mateen had been investigated by the FBI three years earlier after boasting of ties to radical circles and mentioning mutual acquaintances with the Boston Marathon bombers. The 2013 case closed after 10 months with no charges. A separate 2014 probe also found no significant radical links, though Comey warned the bureau will continue reviewing past actions and acknowledge hundreds of ongoing investigations that rarely lead to arrests or monitoring.
