CBSN
Pittsfield, Massachusetts — Vice President Kamala Harris attended her first major fundraiser Saturday since becoming the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Speaking to more than 800 attendees in Pittsfield, Massachusetts — mostly composed of Democratic donors — Harris made her campaign pitch and defended her record to that of her rival, former President Donald Trump.
"As attorney general, I took on one of our country's largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students," Harris told the fundraiser's attendees. "Well, Donald Trump ran a for-profit college that scammed students," referencing the now defunct Trump University. In 2016, Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle several civil lawsuits brought by former students.

WASHINGTON — An American intelligence assessment of the Ecuadorian presidential election, set for Sunday, concluded that a reelection of the incumbent president would better serve U.S. national security interests over the challenger. The assessment comes as the Trump administration mulls establishing a permanent U.S. military presence in the South American country, once known as the "island of peace," to help battle violent gangs, CBS News has learned.
