WASHINGTON (AP) — Grand promises. Boundless boasts. Absolute faith in the man behind it all.
The strategies that Donald Trump's now-defunct educational company used to woo customers have plenty of echoes of the presumptive Republican nominee's current pitch to voters, based on newly disclosed court documents about Trump University.

BOSTON — More than two-thirds of the 188 state lawmakers seeking re-election in the fall are on track to return to Beacon Hill without a challenge in a legislative election cycle marked by a lack of competition.
