WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Republican tax overhaul (all times local):3:24 p.m.

President Donald Trump is explaining how the tax-overhaul plan working its way through Congress would cut tax bills for middle-class families.

Speaking in the grand foyer of the White House, Trump called on members of five families joining him to talk about how exactly the tax plan would help them. The families say they'll use their tax savings to do home renovations, pay college tuition and help other people.

The president is trying to counter concerns that the tax plan will primarily benefit the rich.
