SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Hillary Clinton is attacking Donald Trump for saying he provides on-site child care to employees. At a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, today Clinton noted that Trump had said he offered care at his businesses. But she added, "like so much of what he says, it's not true." The Associated Press reported last week that Trump had made the claim last year in Iowa, but that there was no evidence to back it up. Rather, Trump appeared to be referring to child care programs offered to guests at his hotels and golf club, when he talked about "Trump Kids" and "Trumpeteers."
NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton's campaign is questioning the ties between Donald Trump's top political aide and a pro-Kremlin political party in Ukraine. The Clinton camp says it's further evidence of Trump's cozy relationship with Russia. The New York Times says handwritten ledgers found in Ukraine show $12.7 million in undisclosed payments to Paul Manafort from the pro-Russia party. Manafort -- who has had several international clients including Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos -- denies any wrongdoing. He says he's a "campaign professional" who has never received any "off-the books cash payment."
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Volunteers with boats are part of the rescue effort in badly flooded parts of Louisiana. One man says he's helped organize volunteer efforts involving roughly 70 experienced boaters who rescued hundreds from flooded communities. State officials say about 20,000 people had to be rescued and 10,000 are staying at shelters. Louisiana's insurance commissioner estimates 75 percent of those affected by the catastrophic floods do not have flood insurance.
EASTMAN, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia police chief is remembering Officer Tim Smith as a "quiet, humble guy" who followed his father into law enforcement.

LEESPORT, Pa. (AP) — Authorities have determined that a Pennsylvania man shot and killed his wife and the couple's three young children before taking his own life. The bodies were found earlier this month in the family's home. Police cay Mark Short had bought the gun just one day after police responded to a domestic dispute call. The shootings took place a few weeks later.
