Former Ford national security adviser Scowcroft endorses Clinton

Republican former U.S. National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft on Wednesday said he is endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton for president over Republican Donald Trump.

"She brings truly unique experience and perspective to the White House, having served as secretary of state, senator, and first lady," Scowcroft, who served as national security adviser under Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush, said in a statement.
