Cruz blames Trump for National Enquirer story about affairsTexas Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump at campaign stops earlier this year The already ugly race for the Republican presidential nomination took yet another nasty turn Friday, as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz accused rival Donald Trump of planting a National Enquirer story that alleged he has had multiple extramarital affairs. Published Thursday after weeks of rumors about the leader of the anti-Trump movement in the GOP primary, the story rumbled through the political world and burst onto Twitter, where some users have played a parlor game trying to identify the women. "For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you there is no low Donald won't go… Donald Trump's consistently disgraceful behavior is beneath the office we are seeking." Trump, in a statement, insisted he had nothing to do with the story. "I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week's issue of the National Enquirer is true or not, but I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it," Trump said.

A police officer patrols near a train after it was evacuated during an anti-terrorist operation in the Schaerbeek - Schaarbeel district in Brussels on March 25, 2016Belgian police shot a suspect as part of a huge European terror crackdown that netted several arrests Friday as France's president said a jihadist network that targeted both Paris and Brussels was being "destroyed". Grieving Belgians held prayers in the rain in a central Brussels square carpeted with flowers and tributes to the 31 dead and 300 wounded in Tuesday's carnage in Brussels, but there was also growing anger at the government for letting a string of militants slip through the net. The raids came as under-fire Belgian investigators uncovered alarming new evidence of a European jihadist cell tied to the bombings at Brussels' airport and metro, November's Paris attacks and a new French plot.

Garland nomination fight centers around disrespect for Obama, not the judgeHow do you get the Democratic base fired up about nominating a moderate white man in his 60s to the Supreme Court?

Masked Belgian police secure the entrance to a building in SchaerbeekBy Alastair Macdonald, Ingrid Melander and Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian police arrested six people in their probe of Tuesday's Islamic State suicide bombings in Brussels, while authorities in France said they thwarted a militant plot there "that was at an advanced stage." The federal prosecutor's office in Belgium said on Thursday that the arrests came during police searches in the Brussels neighborhoods of Schaerbeek in the north and Jette in the west, as well as in the center of the Belgian capital.
