WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is expected to unveil today his second ad of the general election -- an ad focusing on his economic message.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Suspended Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is telling senators that she is being unjustly accused of breaking fiscal rules in her management of the federal budget. Speaking at her own impeachment trial, she said, "My conscience is clear. I did not commit a crime." Rousseff is reminding senators that she was re-elected in 2014 by 54 million voters. She says that at every moment she has followed the constitution and done what was best for the country.

UNDATED (AP) — After facing some harsh criticism over the pricing of its emergency allergy treatment, the EpiPen, the drugmaker Mylan says it will start selling a cheaper, generic version.

Consumers and politicians have accused the company of price-gouging, since the list price for a pair of EpiPens has climbed repeatedly from around $94 in 2007.
