WASHINGTON (AP) — After insisting the American public wasn't interested in his tax returns, the White House has released President Donald Trump's 2005 income tax return. The documents show he made more than $150 million in income in 2005 and paid $38 million in income taxes that year. The release came just ahead of a broadcast by MSNBC. A statement bashed "dishonest media." The statement also said the broadcast, hosted Rachel Maddow was "desperate for ratings." It dismissed the disclosure as "a story about two pages of tax returns from over a decade ago."
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal indictment unsealed today in San Diego accused a retired Navy admiral and eight other current and former military officers of helping a Malaysian defense contractor overbill the Navy by $35 million. Prosecutors say the contractor, nicknamed "Fat Leonard" Glenn, supplied Retired Adm. Bruce Loveless and the others prostitutes, lavish meals, expensive wine and cigars worth $2,000 a box in exchange for classified information that helped his company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia. The "Fat Leonard" scandal has already resulted in 13 guilty pleas.
SEATTLE (AP) — Lawyers for the government have told a federal court that President Donald Trump's revised travel ban is "substantially different" from the original. They've also suggested in court filings that a judge shouldn't apply a previous restraining order to the new version. The Justice Department filed the documents in Seattle, two days before the executive order is set to go into effect.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The former South Carolina police officer charged with killing an unarmed black man running from a traffic stop has asked a judge to allow a publicly funded lawyer to represent him. News outlets report Michael Slager made that request today during a hearing in Charleston. Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman says he'll issue a ruling later. Slager says his family of five lives under the poverty line. Slager was fired and charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Walter Scott following an April 2015 traffic stop in North Charleston. Slager's first trial ended in a hung jury. Prosecutors have said they would retry him, and that's set for August.
NEW YORK (AP) — Official weather watchers in Boston say it received just under 7 inches of snow from a nor'easter that also hammered parts of Massachusetts with near hurricane-force winds that sent waves crashing over seawalls. Forecasters say deviations in the storm system also resulted in Philadelphia and New York receiving less snow that the earliest forecasts. Some inland locations were not so fortunate. The storm snarled air and rail service, forced school closures and caused scattered power outages from Virginia northward.
