Over the weekend the New York Times published three pages of Donald Trump's 1995 tax returns which showed he claimed a $916 million business loss that year. The yuge write-off means he could have avoided paying taxes for the next 18 years [New York Times]. Times' reporter Susanne Craig details how she came to be in possession of the documents and how she verified their authenticity [New York Times]. The question on everyone's mind is who leaked Trump's tax records to the media? [Washington Post]. Craig, the reporter behind the leaked tax returns, remained mum when she was asked if there are more leaked Trump documents forthcoming [The Hill]. Speaking of leaks, on Sunday leaked videos of LDS Church leaders discussing controversial issues made their way online [Tribune, Deseret News]. Hillary Clinton has jumped to a 6-point lead in a new national survey. The same poll gave Donald Trump a one-point lead over Clinton before the first presidential debate [Politico]. Meanwhile, polling guru Nate Silver gives Clinton a 66.7% chance to win the White House in November [Five Thirty Eight]. Donald Trump has opened a new line of attack against Hillary Clinton, bringing more attention to her husband's infidelity [New York Times]. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani seemingly suggests Donald Trump would be a better president than Hillary Clinton because she's a woman. He later tried to back away from that comment [Politico]. Here are five reasons why this coming week will likely decide who wins the presidential election in November [Politico]. Gov. Gary Herbert is backpedaling from his pledge to seek up to $400 million in new funding for education in next year's budget. His office says that figure is a target for new spending over the next few years [Tribune]. A new survey says 60% of Utahns think Utah GOP leaders should vote for Donald Trump in November, but many Republicans don't want to discuss their party's nominee [Tribune]. Former Lt. Gov. Greg Bell, who was just appointed to the Utah Transit Authority Board, says he will push for more transparency for the embattled agency [Tribune]. On this day in history:1922 - Rebecca Felton, a Georgia Democrat, was chosen to become the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate following the death of Sen. Thomas E. Watson.1990 - Formerly communist East Germany merged with West Germany, ending 45 years of post-war division. 1995 - A jury found ex-football player O.J. Simpson innocent of murder in the 1994 slayings of his former wife, Nichole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman. Today At Utah Policy
