Trump says it’s a fake, calls the story defamatory, and has vowed to sue the Journal, NewsCorp, and Rupert Murdoch.
In a late-night Truth Social post, Trump directed AG Pam Bondi to release any credible grand jury material, pending court approval. Bondi says she’s ready — but the MAGA base is already on edge.
The White House insists the letter is fabricated. Trump’s critics are doubling down.
And the Epstein fallout continues to divide the Right.

Hey Team! 😎
President Trump is addressing what he considers a distraction to more pressing issues in the country - the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump has taken more concrete action than his predecessors, as Democrats can't see through their own hypocrisies. Trump stands on a stronger platform than just being an opposition to the other side, and recent polling shows Americans recognize this with their approval.
U.S. Voters understand the difference between social media noise and substantive governance. The President's priorities are the American people and the future of our nation, not political theater. Perhaps Democrats should take notes on how to address real issues if they want a chance at winning in next year's midterms.

🩺 White House Releases Trump Health Update
President Trump exhibited mild swelling in his lower legs, which prompted a thorough evaluation by the White House Medical Unit after social media circulated photos raising speculation. His physician determined the swelling was due to chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition for individuals over the age of 70, and found no signs of deep vein thrombosis, arterial disease, heart failure, or other systemic illnesses. A comprehensive array of tests, including vascular studies, blood work, and an echocardiogram, confirmed all results were within normal limits, with Trump maintaining normal cardiac structure and function. Minor bruising on the back of his hands was attributed to frequent handshaking and use of aspirin, taken for standard cardiovascular prevention, both considered routine causes for such symptoms.
⚖️ Trump Nominee Vote Sparks Senate Walkout
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee stormed out of an executive committee meeting after their push to further debate allegations against President Trump’s judicial nominee, Emil Bove, was rejected by Chairman Chuck Grassley. Senator Cory Booker, along with other Democrats, called for time to address whistleblower claims brought by a former Justice Department attorney but were overruled, leading to heated exchanges and an abrupt exit from the hearing room. Trump’s nominee advanced to a full Senate vote on a party-line basis, despite strong objections over the process and a refusal to consider the whistleblower report by members of the committee. Additional protests came from Senators like Sheldon Whitehouse, who highlighted the opposition of numerous former judges and hundreds of federal prosecutors to Bove’s nomination for a lifetime judicial appointment.
🗺️ Trump Pushes Texas Redistricting to Boost GOP House Prospects
President Trump is urging Texas Republicans to redraw congressional maps in a bid to create up to five new Republican-friendly seats and defend the GOP’s fragile House majority in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. In a call with Texas’ Republican congressional delegation, President Trump explained his goal to shift Democratic voters out of competitive districts and consolidate Republican power, predicting significant gains from what he called a "simple redrawing." Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, both Trump allies, justified the move by citing constitutional concerns raised by the Justice Department regarding some minority-dominated districts. However, GOP strategists warn that redistricting carries the risk of making some previously secure Republican seats more competitive, sparking concerns among incumbents about their political futures.
💰 Trump Defends $9B Rescissions Package
President Trump secured Senate approval for a rescissions package that retracts over $9 billion in federal funding, including more than $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that supports NPR and PBS, and nearly $8 billion from foreign aid programs. The White House dismissed accusations that cutting these funds poses public safety risks, with spokesperson Leavitt calling NPR and PBS "partisan left wing outlets" and arguing that taxpayer money should not support them. The package passed the House in a close, mostly party-line vote after delays related to debates over releasing Jeffrey Epstein files. The bill now awaits Trump’s signature, marking a rare occasion of presidential rescission success and signaling further efforts to reduce federal expenditures.

President Trump has taken decisive action in response to mounting criticism over the Jeffrey Epstein case, calling for the release of "all pertinent grand jury testimony" relating to the convicted sex offender's dealings with high-profile public figures. Writing on his Truth Social account, Trump characterized the Epstein controversy as a "scam" perpetuated by Democrats and instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any relevant grand jury testimony subject to court approval. Attorney General Bondi responded immediately, stating that the administration was ready to move the court to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
The controversy intensified when the Wall Street Journal claimed the existence of a letter allegedly bearing Trump's name with inappropriate content, though the publication did not produce the original letter nor confirm its authenticity. President Trump strongly denied the report, stating he never wrote such content and threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal. Vice President Vance called the story "complete and utter bulls**t" and criticized the publication for not showing them the alleged letter before publishing.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully pushed back against Democratic criticism, calling their demands for transparency an "asinine suggestion" given that Democrats controlled the White House for four years without taking action on Epstein files. Leavitt emphasized that President Trump was focused on more pressing issues like the GENIUS Act and border security, echoing the President's sentiment that the Justice Department has "bigger problems" than the Epstein case.
The Trump administration's Department of Justice and FBI released a memo finding no evidence that Epstein had a client list and concluding that Epstein had committed suicide. Despite criticism from some corners, President Trump defended Attorney General Bondi's handling of the situation, suggesting that the files were manufactured by previous administrations as part of ongoing political attacks. President Trump instructed Bondi to release whatever she deemed credible, maintaining that Republicans concerned about the files were being "duped" by Democrats following a playbook similar to the Russia investigation.
Democrats found themselves in an awkward position when confronted about their failure to address the Epstein issue during the Biden administration. When pressed by Joe Scarborough about why Democrats didn't call for file releases from 2021 to 2025 when they controlled the DOJ, Representative Jamie Raskin could only offer that they would need to "reconstruct that record." Similarly, Representative Pramila Jayapal struggled to explain why she never raised the issue during the Biden presidency, admitting she "would have been happy to raise it then as well" but claiming they were "focused on so many different pieces."
Despite intense social media criticism over the Epstein files, polling data reveals that President Trump's approval ratings among Republicans have actually increased rather than declined. CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten expressed surprise at finding that Trump's standing with Republican voters had strengthened, with Republican approval rising from 86% to 88% in CNN polling and from 87% to 90% in Quinnipiac polling. Enten noted that President Trump was at or near the apex of his popularity with Republican voters.
The disconnect between social media outrage and actual voter sentiment became clear when CNN's polling found that only one Republican respondent named the Epstein case as the nation's most important problem. Enten emphasized that while social media platforms were consumed with discussion of the Epstein files, the issue barely registered with the broader Republican base. This explains why President Trump's approval ratings remained strong despite the controversy.
The administration's handling of the Epstein controversy demonstrates President Trump's commitment to transparency while refusing to be derailed by manufactured political distractions.
