05.08.2025 โ‡ข Epstein Inquiry Summons Prominent Figures
โŒจThe political standoff over Texas redistricting persisted, with Texas Governor Abbott's order for lawmakers' arrest and California's threat to counter with its own maps dominating early reports, continuing the "gerrymander war" narratives from previous days.

A House committee issued subpoenas for files and testimony from high-profile individuals, including Bill and Hillary Clinton and former Justice Department officials, broadening the probe into Epstein's network. President Trump's influence remained a consistent theme throughout the day, with discussions spanning his economic views, federal grant negotiations, and disputes over job data, alongside his broader political battles, including the ongoing fallout from his labor statistics chief's firing.
