DNC CONVENTION | Trump calls Clinton disloyal in ousting Dem head

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Donald Trump says the Democrats’ outgoing party head, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is “highly over-rated,” and he’s accusing Hillary Clinton of throwing Wasserman Schultz “under the bus.”

Trump tells supporters in Roanoke, Virginia, that Clinton’s “disloyalty was incredible” for allowing Wasserman Schultz to be pushed out.

Her exit comes after the release of hacked emails that suggest some Democratic National Committee staff members favored Clinton over primary rival Bernie Sanders.

Trump claims Wasserman Schultz “worked very hard to rig the system” in Clinton’s favor.

Meanwhile, Clinton says she opposes a Senate bill that would slow growth rates for housing and education benefits for veterans.

Some veterans groups call that a cut because benefits may not keep up with inflation.

Clinton tells the Veterans of Foreign Wars Monday that she’d fight against the cuts. They’re part of a bill to overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs and make it easier to fire employees for wrongdoing.

Clinton faults Republicans for “chipping away” at veterans benefits.

Republicans point out that 28 Democrats have co-sponsored the Senate bill, including Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton’s newly announced running mate.
