WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign already has a nickname for Hillary Clinton's new running mate: "Corrupt Kaine." The Trump campaign calls Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine "ethically challenged," citing a Politico report that he accepted $160,000 in gifts from 2001 to 2009, when he was Virginia's lieutenant governor and governor. Earlier Friday, Trump sent supporters a text calling Clinton, Kaine and President Barack Obama "the ultimate insiders."
NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (AP) — The personnel file of a North Miami police officer who shot an unarmed black therapist contains numerous commendations and only one complaint. Jonathon Aledda shot therapist Charles Kinsey Monday while he was trying to coax an autistic man back to a group home. A union official has said Aledda was aiming for the autistic man because he thought he was a threat, but the officer missed and hit the therapist. Kinsey is recovering.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled in favor of a Missouri lawmaker who cited religious objections while challenging the inclusion of birth control coverage in his state government-provided health insurance. State Sen. Paul Wieland, a Roman Catholic, says the ruling, while applying only to his family, could serve as a guide for others seeking to challenge the application of a similar section of President Barack Obama's health care law.
