A group of Russians operating from a building in St. Petersburg, we are told in a February 16 US government indictment, sent out tweets, Facebook and YouTube postings, etc. to gain support for Trump and hurt Clinton even though most of these messages did not even mention Trump or Clinton; and many were sent out before Trump was even a candidate.

On September 7, the Mongolian State Great Khural dismissed the Cabinet of Ministers led by ‎Jargaltulgyn Erdenebat for violating the country’s laws on key economic issues related to concessionary transactions, child benefits and shares of stocks in mining company.
