Kelly Rissman reports for the Independent:
Trump signed what he called his “big, beautiful bill” into law on July 4. The bill’s passage marked a huge victory for the president’s agenda, but it didn’t spark the Independence Day fireworks that he hoped for. The news was swallowed up by the firestorm that followed two days later.
The Justice Department released a July 6 memo stating there would be no further disclosures in the Epstein case. The response was explosive. Trump’s MAGA supporters have demanded heightened transparency, the president has sued the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion after new allegations emerged around the president’s ties to the late financier, and the attorney general has asked judges to unseal grand jury testimonies in the case.
In recent weeks, Trump has also threatened new tariffs and met with world leaders. Still, the Epstein saga has sucked all the oxygen out of the room. The president isn’t happy about it, according to staff and allies.
