Fifty cents on the dollar: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says that, in the event of an economic crash, he might seek to pay back investors in U.S. government debt less than they were owed. Experts warned creditors would see the country as an unreliable borrower.

Nothing compares 2 U: 1990s pop star Sinéad O’Connor has been sued by 1990s talk show host Arsenio Hall over a Facebook rant in which O’Connor accused Hall of supplying drugs to Prince.
