Views differ on why protester drove through Yorba Linda crowd
-- Different views emerged Sunday on why a 40-year-old Long Beach woman drove through a crowd during a heated demonstration in Yorba Linda on Saturday, badly injuring a man and woman. Anthony Bryson, who helped the driver, Tatiana Turner, plan a protest against police brutality, said an angry mob had surrounded Turner and wouldn’t let her leave the parking lot. Richard K.

Trump’s tax revelation could tarnish image that fueled rise -- The bombshell revelations that President Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes the year he ran for office and paid no income taxes at all in many others threaten to undercut a pillar of his appeal among blue-collar voters and provide a new opening for his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, on the eve of the first presidential debate.

Long-Concealed Records Show Trump’s Chronic Losses and Years of Tax Avoidance -- Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750. He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.
