Reaction to Supreme Court deadlock on immigration

Jury finds Led Zeppelin did not steal riff for 'Stairway'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. presidential campaign. (all times EDT): 2 p.m. Donald Trump says in a radio interview that he would prefer to use his companies' resources for campaigning without paying them. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is pushing back on complaints that his campaign has paid millions of dollars for event space at his venues. Previous political candidates have carefully separated their business ventures from political efforts. An Associated Press analysis found that Trump's campaign spent about $6 million on various Trump products and services, as well as reimbursing family members for travel. Some Trump purchases include airplane costs and Trump-branded wine and bottled water. "By law, I have to reimburse the aircraft and the plane and all the stuff," Trump said in an interview Thursday with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt. "And I'm very meticulous about it." ___ 1:50 p.m. Republican Donald Trump says he has officially forgiven more than $50 million in loans to his campaign. The presumptive GOP nominee's campaign says in a statement that, "Mr. Trump has fully extinguished (terminated) this loan per his commitment." "Therefore, he has personally invested in excess of $50 million dollars in the future of our country." Trump had long stated that he had no intention of reimbursing himself for the loans that funded his primary campaign. But his decision to lend himself the money, instead of contributing it outright, fueled speculation that he might one day change his mind. Trump campaign finance chair Steve Mnuchin told CNBC earlier Thursday that Trump had forgiven the loan this week. He also said Trump would continue to give personally to the campaign. Federal election filings show Trump had loaned the campaign $45.7 million as of May 31. ___ 12:45 p.m. Hillary Clinton plans to address one of the country's oldest Latino civil rights organizations at its annual convention in Washington next month. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's remarks to the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, will come just weeks after a Supreme Court ruling blocking President Barack Obama's immigration plans. The decision Thursday ensures that immigration will remain a central issue in the fall campaign, particularly among Latinos turned off by Republican Donald Trump. He has called for a wall to be built on the U.S.-Mexican border and pledged to throw out all people living in the U.S. illegally. Clinton called the ruling "unacceptable" on Thursday. She has promised to expand Obama's proposal to shield millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally from deportation. ___ 12:05 p.m. Hillary Clinton says a tie vote by the Supreme Court blocking President Barack Obama's immigration plan is "unacceptable." Thursday's ruling effectively kills Obama's plan to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation — a plan Clinton supports. In a statement released by her campaign, Clinton defended the legality of Obama's plan, saying the ruling was "purely procedural." But, she says, it's a reminder of the "harm Donald Trump would do" to immigrant families and "how much damage" Senate Republicans are causing by refusing to consider Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland. She said as president, she would "do everything possible under the law to go further to protect families." ___ 9:05 a.m. Hillary Clinton has announced the endorsement of more than 40 business leaders, part of an effort to win support from independents and Republicans worried about Donald Trump. Many of the chief executives touted by the campaign Thursday had previously declared their support for Clinton, including Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet. But the group also includes some longtime Republicans like AT&T Services Inc's Jim Cicconi and Dan Akerson, formally of General Motors Co. and Nextel Communications Inc. Their support comes two days after Clinton delivered a speech warning that Trump's economic policy would lead the country back into recession. The Clinton campaign has been working to organize support from Republican business leaders and foreign policy experts, who question Trump's experience and policy plans. ___ 3:44 a.m. Donald Trump's presidential campaign is trying to recover from a rocky stretch of dipping poll numbers and limping fundraising. But at week's end he's tending to business in Scotland. For his first international trip since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump is checking on a pair of his championship golf resorts. The Trump Turnberry golf course has undergone a $300 million renovation, and Trump also owns a golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland. His campaign says Trump doesn't plan any meetings with Scottish political leaders. He arrives a day after the United Kingdom votes on whether to remain in the European Union. Trump's trip to Scotland has some Republicans worrying that his attention is divided between his businesses and his campaign.
