Posted: 26 Apr 2016 02:40 PM PDT

Trump's campaign chief ducks questions about ties to Russian billionairePaul Manafort on "Meet the Press" earlier this month. A court in the Cayman Islands has sought to question Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's chief campaign aide, to determine what happened to $26.2 million invested by a billionaire Russian oligarch in a Cayman Islands partnership with the political consultant, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News. Court-appointed liquidators from the Cayman Islands last summer initiated a legal action in federal court in Alexandria, Va., seeking to question Manafort and two business partners under oath about a business deal between them and firms controlled by Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate who for years was barred from entering the United States over allegations of ties to organized crime.

After Tuesday, will Bernie Sanders' tone pave way for concession?Polls suggest that Sen. Bernie Sanders is poised to lose Maryland and Pennsylvania in key races Tuesday, raising questions about whether the progressive candidate — who continues to raise millions of dollars from his passionate supporters — will adopt a more unifying tone as his chances for the Democratic nomination fade. During last week's New York primary, Sanders sounded a defiant note as he lost the delegate-rich state, fiercely criticizing rival Hillary Clinton in an hourlong speech at Penn State University.

Ted Cruz and the 17 percent who are backing Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
