“Donald Trump, who continues to refuse to release his tax returns and show the public his personal accounting, will be sitting down with the perpetrators responsible for one of the largest municipal bond fraud cases in SEC history”, said Democratic Reps.

Following Trump’s speech, police made several arrests and were dressed in riot gear as they clashed with protesters who threw bottles at them. Officers arrested two other people after the rally on suspicion of unlawful assembly after they did not follow orders to clear the streets.
“There is no drought”, Republican presidential-hopeful Donald Trump told a crowd of voters on parched California soil on Friday.
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump says he will wait to debate the official Democratic nominee, and not debate Bernie Sanders, calling the Democratic nominating process “totally rigged”.
“My environmental standard is very simple, I’ve said it to everybody”, he added.
“Both offers include a major contribution to charity”, Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver said in a statement. If elected, Trump says he will lift these water-saving rules.
Another Valadao bill that was heard in a House Natural Resources subcommittee this week would approve a controversial settlement to solidify Westlands’ water rights and forgive roughly $350 million in debt in exchange for resolving legal claims over salt- and selenium-impaired farmland (E&E Daily, May 25). “No, we have plenty of water”, Trump said they told him.
Trump has been campaigning in California ahead of the state’s June 7 primary.
About 200 demonstrators chanted and held signs outside a downtown Fresno arena where the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was to speak at midmorning before traveling to San Diego.
Many protesters carried signs critical of his plan to wall off the US border with Mexico, which runs just south of the city. Protesters were seen waving the Mexican flag.
Trump said he spent 30 minutes before the rally meeting with more than 50 farmers who complained to him about their struggles. On the other hand, Trump might really just be asking California to stop throwing its water in the ocean.
Politically influential rural-water districts and well-off corporate farmers have harshly criticized those laws in the wake of the drought, arguing that more water should be captured and diverted to them.
The farm lobby, a heavyweight player in California’s water wars, also is seeking federal and state approval for billions of dollars in new water tunnels, dams and other projects. “We’re going to solve your water problem”. And efforts to save it are diverting water away from California’s farmers during the driest four-year period in the state’s record.

This is the fifth consecutive year that California finds itself in the throes of a drought that threatens the existence of the agricultural sector.
