16.07.2025 โข Epstein's Internal Unrest
โจ
Media coverage centered on the Jeffrey Epstein files, specifically President Trump's escalating reactions to the ongoing disclosures.

Concurrently, the Senate continued to advance President Trump's requested billions in spending cuts to foreign aid and public media. Reports also highlighted Trump's wavering stance on potentially firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, initially denying plans then later questioning GOP lawmakers on the matter.
