WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton's campaign manager says voters should pay attention to links between Donald Trump's staff and Russian political interests. The Associated Press has learned that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, helped a pro-Russian governing party in Ukraine secretly route at least $2.2 million to two Washington lobbying firms in 2012. Manafort did not report the payments to U.S. authorities. Clinton campaign chief Robby Mook stopped short of calling for a federal investigation, saying he'll leave the law to the "experts."

CHICAGO (AP) — An autopsy shows that the 18-year-old who was shot and killed last month by a Chicago police officer during a chase was hit on the right side of his back. The autopsy released today by the Cook County Medical Examiner's also determined that Paul O'Neal didn't have any drugs in his system when he was shot July 28 in a chase that was partially captured by police body cameras and dashcams. O'Neal careened down the street in a stolen car as officers fired repeatedly at the vehicle before it crashed into a police cruiser and O'Neal ran.
