Donald Trump says U.S. ‘has to have’ Greenland for ‘national security’

President Trump is facing intensified scrutiny following the release of nearly 30,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which mention his name more frequently than previous disclosures. This latest batch has raised concerns about Trump's connections to Epstein, particularly regarding flights on the financier's private jet during the 1990s.

The US Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision to block former President Donald Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, siding with a lower court's ruling that had previously halted the deployment. This decision follows legal challenges from Illinois state officials and local leaders who opposed the federalization of troops in the city.

President Trump humorously suggested that he could exchange his role as commander-in-chief for a hosting position during the airing of the Kennedy Center Honors, where he served as the master of ceremonies.

A newly released batch of Epstein files includes references to Donald Trump, notably a claim by a senior US attorney that Trump was on a flight in the 1990s with Jeffrey Epstein and a 20-year-old woman. The files also detail Epstein's relationship with Larry Summers and contain an apparently fake letter to Larry Nassar. There is no indication of criminal wrongdoing associated with these references.

Denmark's government has expressed strong disapproval following President Trump's appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as the U.S. special envoy to Greenland, labeling the announcement as 'completely unacceptable.' This appointment, made on December 22, 2025, has reignited tensions regarding U.S. interests in Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

The Department of Justice announced that a letter purportedly from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar, which referenced Donald Trump, has been confirmed as a fake by the FBI. The letter, dated 2019, raised concerns due to its disturbing content, which included references to a love for 'young ladies.'

Newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein have mentioned Donald Trump, prompting demands for more information from the U.S. Justice Department. The files include email exchanges involving Ghislaine Maxwell, who was reportedly seeking a female exercise instructor for Epstein, highlighting the nature of their relationship and activities.

The U.S. Justice Department has released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which includes multiple mentions of former President Donald Trump, but offers little new information regarding the notorious financier and convicted sex offender. This release follows ongoing public and legal pressure for transparency in the Epstein case.
