Hillary's top aid quits

Mak Penn, the top campaign strategist to Hillary Clinton, under fire for his meeting with a Colombian diplomat to discuss a free trade deal that the presidential candidate opposes, quit his post on Sunday, the campaign said.

Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, said Penn and his polling firm Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates Inc., would continue to provide polling and advice to the campaign.
