US media continued its intense focus on the Jeffrey Epstein saga throughout the day. Morning reports highlighted the House committee's vote to subpoena Justice Department files and Attorney General Pam Bondi's alleged notification to President Trump regarding his name in these documents. Concurrently, Columbia University agreed to a significant settlement with the Trump administration. By midday, attention largely centered on Ghislaine Maxwell's scheduled meeting with the DOJ and her reported preparation of new evidence, alongside calls for Bill and Hillary Clinton's subpoena. In the afternoon, the actual meeting between Maxwell and DOJ officials dominated, with Speaker Johnson affirming the case's legitimacy. A new, major development rapidly emerged mid-afternoon: the widely reported death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan at 71. Towards evening, President Trump's public confrontation with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and reports of a severe hunger crisis in Gaza also gained significant media attention.
