For the first time on Hillary Clinton’s book tour, she encountered a melange of people from different points in her life — from Washington’s most powerful figures to former 2008 campaign volunteers to her niece and nephew — at a signing at a Costco in Virginia on Saturday. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said she was “just shopping” and wandered by in sandals, a striped shirt and pants, grabbed a book. Rep.
