This is AP news minute.
1. Democratic presidential nominee 1 Hillary Clinton released her joint 2 tax returns for 2015 as well as those of her running mate Tim Kaine and his wife. The Clintons paid a federal tax rate of 34.2% and denoted almost 10% of their income to charity. Donald Trump 3 has so far declined to release his tax returns.
2. Toyota is recalling nearly 340,000 vehicles for a third time. This recall involves Toyota rav 4 SUVs from the 2006 to 2011 model years. And the Lexus HS250 sedan from the 2010 model year.
3. National transportation safety board officials say it will be at least a few weeks before they could reveal what was found on the voyage data recorder of a doomed 4 cargo 5 ship. The EL faro ship sunk last October, taking with its 33 victims on board.
4. And a Philadelphia Uber driver is heading to Rio next Monday, thanks to the generosity 6 of strangers. Eillis Hill told a passenger that he couldn't afford to fly to Brazil to see his son compete in Shot Put. The woman was so moved by his story. She started an online fundraiser that topped its $7500 goal.
