Morning Must Reads: June 16

Reality television star Donald Trump is set to make a presidential announcement today, and it’s believed that he’ll be running this time.

Trump will even release a two-page summary of his finances, but, in a sign that his candidacy may be a short-lived reality stunt, is stopping short of releasing the detailed accounting required by federal law.

And the Clinton campaign’s tensions with the press reach new heights.
