Oh, well then it's all ok. Earlier, Dan wrote about the fact that the Clinton campaign’s newest anti-Trump weapon, Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, was accused of being involved in a 1998 homicide. What Dan didn’t mention was that the judge in the case also accused her of threatening to assassinate him if he indicted her boyfriend. Yesterday, Machado appeared on “CNN’s 360 with Gloria Vanderbilt’s Son,” where she levelled a blistering attack against Trump. When she finished, the host decided to ask her about her possible involvement with the murder.

Shortened title. Full title: Oh Dear, Clinton’s Latest Campaign Surrogate is a: Murder Accomplice, Hard Core Porn Star and Drug Lord Concubine This has to be the worst campaign vetting in the history of failed campaign vetting… Or the most horrible exploitation, Clintonian level exploitation, of a very troubled woman…. You decide. Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton’s entire campaign narrative is now centered around, and vested in, using a former Miss Venezuela, Alicia Machado, as an attack surrogate against Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton’s campaign goal is to paint Donald Trump as anti-woman, and fat-shaming, because the Miss Universe pageant owner told...

GotNews has already exposed Hillary Clinton’s Alicia Machado as a lying attempted murderess and porn star with a Mexican drug kingpin’s anchor baby. The Mexican Attorney General and GotNews’ unnamed federal law enforcement source both agree that Machado’s baby daddy is locked-up drug trafficker Gerardo Alvarez-Velazquez. Alicia Machado herself has variously claimed it’s her “best friend” Rafael Hernandez Linares and that “she’s kept quite about his identity because he isn’t involved in the entertainment world and she’d like to respect his privacy.” Does Alicia Machado’s daughter Dinorah look like she could be the drug kingpin’s kid? Yep.

The former Miss Universe at the center of a bitter exchange in Monday's presidential debate was accused of aiding a would-be murderer and threatening to kill a judge, it has emerged.

The then Miss Venezuela was photographed with Trump at a gym as he spoke about how she 'loves to eat', and she also claimed he mocked her Latino accent, calling...

CARACAS - A Venezuelan judge Thursday ordered a trial for four leaders of Súmate, the volunteer group that helped organize a failed vote to recall President Hugo Chávez last year. The judge accused them of ''conspiracy to destroy the country's republican system'' because they received U.S. funds. The defendants include María Corina Machado, who in May was invited to the White House for talks with President Bush and in June met with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during an Organization of American States General Assembly in Fort Lauderdale. The case against Machado, Alejandro Plaz, Ricardo Estévez and Luis Enrique...

Latin America: Since 9-11, the U.S. has tried to spread democracy not by buying candidates, but by encouraging civic institutions. It's in everyone's interest. One country, however, wants to throw someone in jail for it. Today an outrageous court hearing will take place in Caracas, Venezuela. Organizers of last year's recall referendum against President Hugo Chavez are facing potential charges of treason. Their crime? Taking a U.S. National Endowment for Democracy grant to advance democracy. It's not just political revenge from a victorious Chavez. It's also an attack on civic institutions and, if successful, opens the door to dictatorship and...

After studying engineering at Catholic University in Caracas she earned a post-graduate degree in finance from the Venezuelan business school IESA and went off to work for an auto parts manufacturer in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. Today, facing charges of conspiracy against her government, she has become an international celebrity for her efforts to defend Venezuelan democracy. Ms. Machado is one of the leaders of Súmate, a nongovernmental organization resisting efforts by President Hugo Chávez's to turn Venezuela into a dictatorship. Because of its...

President Bush held a news conference this AM (text found here), which will be replayed by C-SPAN tonight at 8 PM Eastern. Choice pull quote: Bush called a human rights report 'absurd' for criticizing the United States' detention of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and said the allegations were made by 'people who hate America.' People he met with in the Oval Office: Dr. Jose Miguel Insulza, Secretary General of the Organization of American States; crewmembers from the International Space Station Expeditions 7, 8, 9 and 10; and Maria Corina Machado, executive director of Sumate, a non-governmental organization that...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush met a prominent opponent of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the White House on Tuesday in a show of support that could anger the firebrand leader of a major U.S. oil supplier. Maria Corina Machado, a founder of Sumate, a citizens rights organization, helped promote an August referendum against Chavez and still faces a possible jail term of up to 16 years along with her colleague Alejandro Plaz. Called a "traitor" by Chavez, she was accused by a Venezuelan state prosecutor last year of conspiracy after her organization received a grant from the U.S. Congress-funded...

SACRAMENTO -- State Sen. Michael Machado has paid a $61,000 fine and returned more than $56,000 in illegal campaign contributions to resolve a complaint from the Fair Political Practices Commission, the commission announced Tuesday. The penalty and fines stem from a complaint originally filed with the commission by one of Machado's constituents, who argued that the senator used an old campaign account to illegally accumulate and spend campaign funds. Commission attorneys filed notice Monday that the two sides had agreed on a settlement. Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Loren McMaster must approve the settlement for it to become final. In...
