Trump turns on former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene as Epstein questions mount – as it happened

In a significant political shift, Trump has distanced himself from Marjorie Taylor Greene amid rising scrutiny over Jeffrey Epstein's connections. Greene's insistence on releasing Epstein files contrasts with Trump's recent remarks labeling such support as 'stupid.' This tension reflects broader concerns within the Republican Party regarding Epstein's legacy and its implications for political figures. Additionally, the US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, announced a deal with Switzerland, alleviating a 39% tariff on exports, which is expected to bolster American manufacturing. This juxtaposition of trade success and political turmoil underscores the complex landscape Trump navigates as he faces potential congressional votes related to Epstein's ties, further complicating his political strategy.
