The day's media coverage heavily concentrated on the evolving Jeffrey Epstein saga. Early reports detailed Ghislaine Maxwell's interviews with the Department of Justice, and by afternoon, President Trump did not rule out a pardon for Maxwell. This narrative intensified through the evening, as reports indicated Maxwell provided the DOJ with approximately 100 names linked to Epstein during interviews, and crucially, had received limited immunity. Discussions around a potential pardon request from Maxwell's attorney then became prominent. Concurrently, the Trump administration's domestic actions drew significant attention, including the release of billions in previously withheld education funds, new border policies involving US troops, and ongoing disputes with Federal Reserve Chair Powell. Late in the day, President Trump's call for Israel to "finish the job" in Gaza also emerged in coverage.
