| Anonymous declares "total war" on Donald Trump, again | |
| Samuel Gibbs | |
| The hacking collective Anonymous has vowed once again to “dismantle” Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and to “expose what he doesn’t want the public to know”. | |
| The group announced its re-engagement of “OpTrump” through its traditional propaganda video, aiming to take down one of Trump’s property websites for Chicago on 1 April. | |
| Anonymous said: “We have been watching you for a long time and what we’ve seen is deeply disturbing. You don’t stand for anything but your personal greed and power. | |
| “This is a call to arms. Shut down his websites, research and expose what he doesn’t want the public to know. We need you to dismantle his campaign and sabotage his brand.” | |
| Anonymous last declared war on Trump at the end of 2015 in response to Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US. At the time the group took down the website of New York’s Trump Tower using a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) that overwhelms a site’s servers using bogus traffic. | |
| Whether this renewed effort by Anonymous will have a greater impact on Trump and his campaign for the US presidential elections is unclear. But the collective is urging everyone to support their campaign saying “you do not need to know how to hack to support this operation”. | |
| “This is a declaration of total war. OperationTrump engaged.” | |
| Trump has been the target of several hacking groups, allegedly leaking personal information, voicemail messages and attacking his various sites, all of which have had little effect on his popularity. | |

| A bombshell report from Politico paints a more-than-unflattering portrait of Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump and accused assailant in a criminal complaint filed by a female campaign journalist. | A bombshell report from Politico paints a more-than-unflattering portrait of Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump and accused assailant in a criminal complaint filed by a female campaign journalist. |

| According to more than 20 sources, Lewandowski has faced complaints ranging from physical aggression with other reporters to being “sexually suggestive” with female journalists. One anecdote: When he was working with the Koch Bros.-funded Americans for Prosperity super PAC, Lewandowski reportedly berated a female employee in public, using a very particular word for the female anatomy. | According to more than 20 sources, Lewandowski has faced complaints ranging from physical aggression with other reporters to being “sexually suggestive” with female journalists.

| Lewandowski has been accused by Michelle Fields, a now-former reporter for the conservative Breitbart News, of aggressively pulling her from proximity to the candidate, to the point where she says he left bruises on her arms. Fields’ account has been backed up by another reporter at the scene, audio of the exchange and even video. Trump continues to stand by his campaign manager, even though opponents Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have declared that they would have fired their campaign managers for similar behavior. | Lewandowski has been accused by Michelle Fields, a now-former reporter for the conservative Breitbart News, of aggressively pulling her from proximity to the candidate, to the point where she says he left bruises on her arms.

| Two weeks after the so-called Super Tuesday primaries proved to be a lot less decisive in determining the presidential nominee for either of the major political parties, the day we have dubbed Super-er Tuesday is finally here. Today marks the beginning of the crucial winner-takes-all primaries for the Republican candidates, wherein in the delegate-rich states of Florida and Ohio will allocate their delegates not proportionally, but entirely to the winner of a plurality of the state’s vote. (Not every Republican primary that occurs today or hereafter will be winner-takes-all, however – there will also be primary contests today in Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and the Northern Mariana Islands, a commonwealth in the Pacific Ocean.) | Two weeks after the so-called Super Tuesday primaries proved to be a lot less decisive in determining the presidential nominee for either of the major political parties, the day we have dubbed Super-er Tuesday is finally here.
