Inside Donald Trump's private security force. Johnson jurors say trial was unfair. Swallow wants preliminary hearing now.
Happy Wednesday. Donald Trump's rallies are drawing record crowds, and record protestors.

Politico takes an inside look at the Trump private security folks. [<a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/inside-trumps-security-juggernaut-221543"; target="_blank">Politico</a>]
