--RNC FACT-CHECK: Trump last night offered a stinging indictment of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, as well as the legacy of the Obama administration. He made several claims about both, so ABC News decided to fact-check them, as well as the claims made by other speakers on prior days of the convention. Here are some of the claims and how they stack up from ABC’s CHRIS GOOD, JOHN KRUZEL and NOAH FITZGEREL: http://abcn.ws/2a9Vyh4

--5 WAYS THE CLINTON CAMP RESPONDED TO THE RNC: The RNC was filled with nonstop attacks against Hillary Clinton. And in response, her campaign has been laying on the snark. The Clinton camp -- which has at least two dozen staffers in Cleveland for the week -- has been trolling the Republicans’ every move in real time, sending out press releases, tweets, Snapchats and gifs. Here are five ways the presumptive Democratic nominee and her team have responded to the events this week, courtesy of ABC’s LIZ KREUTZ: http://abcn.ws/2a1BnwT

THIS WEEK ON ‘THIS WEEK’: Ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, George Stephanopoulos goes one-on-one with Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and Sen.

Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, and Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota.

TRUMP BECOMES FIRST GOP NOMINEE TO MENTION LGBTQ CITIZENS IN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH. For the first time in history, a Republican nominee has mentioned the LGBTQ community in a GOP nomination acceptance speech, writes http://abcn.ws/2a9Vyh4. "Only weeks ago, in Orlando, Florida, 49 wonderful Americans were savagely murdered by an Islamic terrorist. This time, the terrorist targeted our LGBTQ community. No good. We are going to stop it," said Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presidential nominee. http://abcn.ws/2ae3IDh

IVANKA TRUMP INTRODUCES HER FATHER DONALD: HE IS 'THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION.’ Ivanka Trump called her father "a political outsider" and "a fighter" while introducing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention. "For more than a year," she said of his run for the presidency, "Donald Trump has been the people's champion." Ivanka Trump, 34, described her father as the type of leader who transcended politics and said she personally didn't consider herself "categorically Republican or Democrat," reports ABC’s MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN. http://abcn.ws/29ZTZQg

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO STUMPS FOR TRUMP. Joe Arpaio, the 84-year-old Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, and a controversial opponent of undocumented immigration, said that "my most important mission is to elect Donald Trump," citing his willingness to build a wall and secure American borders. Arpaio, who walked onto the stage at the convention to resounding applause, has been a lightning rod for scandal since his election in 1993, largely because of his staunch policies, which many view as anti-immigrant, ABC’s MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN notes. http://abcn.ws/2a4jm3I

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

TRADING UP: WHAT A PAPER CLIP WILL GET YOU AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. With a red paper clip in hand, ABC News attended the Republican National Convention this week. The goal was to see how far up the paper clip could be traded with delegates and people at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. The first swap was for a pin from North Carolina. Not everyone was willing to part with their political swag, especially delegates from Texas who refused to give up their cowboy hats. Watch the video above by ABC’s OLIVIA SMITH and RONNIE POLIDORO to see what ABC News wound up with by the end of the week. http://abcn.ws/29SMYOk

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

360 VIEW OF THE BALLOON DROP AT THE RNC. The final night of the Republican National Convention concluded with a traditional ending for an unconventional candidate. Some 125,000 red, white and blue balloons and 1,000 pounds of confetti that were tied up at the ceiling for the week were finally released on the Quicken Loans Arena crowd. Fireworks erupted outside the "Q." On the Jumbotron read "Trump Pence Make America Great Again." http://abcn.ws/29Sue1q
