Police in Lexington, Kentucky are investigating suspected gunshots fired into the windows of the Lexington Herald-Leader’s downtown building on Sunday morning.

In an interview aired on CBS’s Face the Nation, host John Dickerson backed Donald Trump into a literal corner over his baseless claim that Barack Obama wiretapped him at the Trump Tower.
