NEW YORK (AP) — An apparent explosion in a crowded Chelsea neighborhood of New York City on Saturday night left 26 people with minor injuries, authorities said. Police spokesman J. Peter Donald said on Twit- ter that the explosion happened at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday on West 23rd Street, which is a major thoroughfare with many restaurants. He says several people were taken to hospitals with injuries. The Fire Department tweeted that none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the explosion appears to have come from a construction toolbox in front of a building.

Records in Philadelphia’s federal court show a money-laundering conspiracy charge filed last Novem- ber against Democratic Rep. Leslie Acosta, and quietly unsealed in March when a plea document was filed. The plea document is under Acosta seal and its contents are not pub- lic. The charge against Acosta was first reported Friday by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Acosta’s lawyer did not return tele- phone calls to The Associated Press, and would only tell the Inquirer that “we look forward to addressing this matter in much greater detail in Fred Adams | For Times Leader the future.” Lawrence Abbatiello, 7, of Taylor has his fingerprints scanned electronically Saturday at the Ken Pollock Volvo Dealership in Pittston Neither Acosta nor prosecutors returned calls Township during a Child Safety Day event.

Before they were shot Friday night, the officers discovered an elderly man dead in the Fort Worth home, appar- ently of a gunshot wound, and someone inside the home directed them to a “potential witness” in the tool shed, authorities said. When they opened the shed doors, the gunman started firing. The officers, both of whom were wearing body armor, returned fire and took cover until backup officers arrived.

She is not, however, a criminal mas- termind, nor even as culpable as Donald Trump, whose actions in connection with a donation to a campaign group tied to Florida state attorney general Pam Bondi should clearly set forth the basis for a bribery investigation. The Tampa Bay Times editorial board argues convincingly: “Federal prosecu- tors should investigate whether there is any connection between the decision by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office not to pursue fraud allegations against Trump University and a $25,000 campaign contribution he gave her. Since Florida prosecutors will not touch this mess, the Justice Department is the only option.

We also agree with those who criticize a false equivalence between Trump and Clinton in the realm of ethics. Clinton is no goody-two-shoes, but she is not in Trump’s league when it comes to lies, deceit, and buying and selling politicians. That’s not an excuse for her; it’s an indict- ment of the news media coverage that has bought Trump’s line that Clinton is some- how worse than he is. We have no doubt who is the worst of the two.
