Tax package would
lower top tax rate for
wealthy Americans
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Congressional Republicans on
Tuesday rushed toward a deal on
a massive tax package that would
reduce the top tax rate for wealthy
Americans to 37 percent and slash
the corporate rate to a level slightly
higher than what businesses and
conservatives wanted.
In a flurry of last-minute
changes that could profoundly
affect the pocketbooks of millions
of Americans, House and Senate
negotiators agreed to expand a
deduction for state and local taxes
to allow individuals to deduct
income taxes as well as property
taxes. The deduction is valuable to
residents in high-tax states like New
York, New Jersey and California.
Negotiators also agreed to set
the corporate income tax rate at
21 percent, said two congressional
aides who spoke on condition
of anonymity because they were
not authorized to publicly discuss
private negotiations. Both the
House bill and the Senate bill would
have lowered the corporate rate
from 35 percent to 20 percent.
Business and conservative
groups lobbied hard for the 20
percent corporate rate. Negotiators

A chorus of Democrats accused
Trump of insinuations about
Gillibrand that were unsavory at
best.
Nothing of the kind, retorted
White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders. She said “there
is no way that this is sexist at all,”
and she suggested the tweet could
be considered sexually charged
“only if your mind is in the gutter.”
Gillibrand, who had called
for the president’s resignation a
day earlier because of allegations
of sexual misconduct, called his
attack a “sexist smear attempting to
silence my voice.”
“I will not be silenced on this
agreed to bump it up to 21 percent
to help offset revenue losses from
other tax breaks, the aides said.
Trump says female
senator ‘would do
anything’ for money
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Fending off the renewed focus
on sexual harassment allegations
against him, President Donald
Trump lashed out at Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand on Tuesday, declaring the
New York Democrat and frequent
presidential critic had come to his
office “begging” for campaign
contributions and “would do

the women who stood up to the
president yesterday,” referring
to those who have accused the
president of sexual harassment.
With nearly each week bringing
new headlines about sexual
misconduct forcing men from
positions of power, the rising
#MeToo movement has landed
squarely at the front door of
Trump’s White House. A handful of
Democratic senators have called for
his resignation, nearly 60 lawmakers
are urging a congressional probe
into his behavior and some of the
16 women who have accused Trump
of harassment have resurfaced
their stories.
