Trump raises $51 million in June for campaign and GOP

WASHINGTON

Donald Trump says he raised $51 million for his campaign and allied Republicans in the month of June.

That’s a dramatic uptick from his May numbers but sharply less than likely presidential opponent Hillary Clinton’s June haul.

Clinton raised almost $70 million in June for her campaign and Democratic allies, her campaign announced last week.

Clinton has spent tens of millions of dollars more than Trump to build up voter contact operations and advertisements ahead of the November election.

Trump previewed his June numbers on Twitter on Tuesday night by writing, “Raised a lot of money for the Republican Party. There will be a big gasp when the figures are announced in the morning. Lots of support! Win.”

Pistorius gets six years for murder

PRETORIA, South Africa

Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius stood and faced Judge Thokozile Masipa as she announced the sentence in a South African courtroom on Wednesday.

Pistorius was facing a possible 15-year jail term for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet cubicle door at his home in 2013, but Masipa said substantial and compelling circumstances existed in the double-amputee Olympic runner’s case to give him a lesser sentence.

Steenkamp’s parents, Barry and June, were present in the courtroom, which was packed with relatives of both Pistorius and Steenkamp and other observers.

The judge ordered a recess to give prosecutors and Pistorius’ defense lawyers time to decide if either wanted to appeal the sentence.
