Lopez Corruption

Veteran leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office as Mexican president on Saturday, vowing to see off a "rapacious" elite in a country struggling with corruption, chronic poverty and gang violence on the doorstep of the United States.

Declaring "our country's going to hell," Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday pledged to secure the borders, rebuild inner cities and end government corruption during a raucous rally here four days before the election.

It's been a heck of a week for Jose Lopez, an Argentine ex-cabinet minister who was arrested trying to hide bags stuffed with cash and jewels at a monastery.
