WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and his summit with Russian President Donald Trump (all times local): 1:50 p.m. House Republicans have used a party-line vote to block a Democratic measure aimed at condemning President Donald Trump’s stunning comments in Helsinki, Finland, about Russia. It was the first vote testing how Congress will react to Trump’s remarks. On Monday, Trump stood beside Russian President Vladimir Putin and challenged American intelligence agencies’ findings that Moscow had interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections. He seemed to accept Putin’s insistence that his government had done nothing. By 230-183, the House rejected a Democratic measure endorsing Speaker Paul Ryan’s remarks criticizing Russia. The Wisconsin Republican said “there is no question” Russia interfered in the elections and said there is “no moral equivalence” between the two countries. The two-page Democratic proposal … [Read more...] about The Latest: House GOP blocks measure to condemn Trump

Giuliani leaves trail of contradiction as he defends Trump
Rudy Giuliani, an attorney for President Donald Trump, applauds at the Iran Freedom Convention for Human Rights and democracy at the Grand Hyatt, Saturday, May 5, 2018, in Washington. (Andrew Harnik/AP) WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s new attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is delivering confounding and at times contradictory statements as he tries to lessen the legal burdens on his client from an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and a $130,000 hush payment to a porn actress. The former New York City mayor is embracing his client’s preferred approach to challenges as he mounts Trump’s defense through the media. But it’s proving to be a bewildering display. In an interview Sunday with ABC’s “This Week,” Giuliani dismissed as rumor his own statements about Trump’s payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, said he can’t speak to whether the president lied to the American people when he denied knowledge … [Read more...] about Giuliani leaves trail of contradiction as he defends Trump

CBS News Logo Trump demands $75 million from Panama condo owners
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump is demanding as much as $75 million from hundreds of condo owners in Panama City's Trump Ocean Club, alleging that its directors wrongfully fired his company as administrator managing the luxury building that is the tallest in Central America. The Republican presidential candidate and celebrity businessman filed his claim confidentially with the Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce court of arbitration, The Associated Press has learned. The court organizes arbitration over complex civil settlements, often involving business deals that cross continents. Trump's claim alleged a criminal conspiracy to remove his management company from its unpaid position as building administrator for the luxury property in Panama City. As the AP reported last month, the owners' board of directors had accused Trump's managers of repeatedly exceeding budgets, paying themselves bonuses without permission and improperly passing costs from the building's Trump-controlled … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Trump demands $75 million from Panama condo owners
What a Donald Trump economy might look like
Will Donald Trump make America's economy great again if he's elected president? With the Republican National Convention scheduled to focus on economics today, perhaps that will bring more clarity to Trump's vague and sometimes contradictory discussions of his economic ideas. Based on what we can learn from his speeches, media appearances and his website, what do we know about his economic proposals? Let's start with what Trump gets wrong about the economy and then turn to the things he gets right. What Trump gets wrong: Tax cuts are the key to higher economic growth: Trump would cut taxes significantly for individual and businesses. The tax cuts would occur at all income levels, but the biggest benefit by far would go to those at the top of the income distribution. Analysis of the plan by the Tax Policy Center suggests it would increase the federal budget deficit by $9.5 trillion over the first decade and an additional $15 trillion over the next 10 years. Trump claims that he'll … [Read more...] about What a Donald Trump economy might look like
