This is AP News Minute.

President Donald Trump¹ says he has faith in the embattled head of the Environment Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt. As he was boarding Air Force One Thursday, Trump was asked if he still has confidence in Pruitt, the President responded "I do." The EPA chief is at the center of a swirl² of ethnics³ questions and there have been calls for his resignation.

Police say the body of a CDC employee reported missing more than six weeks ago has been found in an Atlanta river. Thirty-five-year-old Timothy Cunningham's body was recovered by rescue workers in the Chattahoochee River late Tuesday evening.

A tour bus headed to the Masters Golf Tournament flipped⁴ over on a Georgia interstate, injuring at least a dozen people and snarling⁵ traffic. Troopers said passengers' injuries were non-life threatening. And the bus driver has been charged with driving under the influence.

And thousands of fans lined the streets of Philadelphia to celebrate another sports championship with a parade, this time, Villanova University. The wildcats romp⁶ through the NCAA Tournament ended Monday with a 79-62 victory over Michigan. It's their second national title in three seasons.
