House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY) followed through with his threat to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. However, he stopped short of having her testify before a congressional hearing.

In a letter to Maxwell on Wednesday, Comer explained that the convicted sex offender would sit for a deposition at Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on Aug. 11.

As President Donald Trump continues to muse over firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over refusing to cut interest rates to his liking, an analysis by The Atlantic staff writer Roge Karma found that were Trump to ultimately replace Powell and get rates cut to his liking, he could very well kick off a wave of higher real-world interest rates, and soaring prices.

“Many experts, including former Fed chairs, believe that cutting rates simply because the president demands it could have an even more profound consequence: it would tell the world that the U.S. central bank can no longer be trusted to credibly manage the money supply going forward,” Karma wrote in an analysis piece published Wednesday in The Atlantic.

A prominent national security expert on Wednesday summed up a new 12-page ruling rebuking the Trump administration as the judge saying, "You dumba--es, you got everything wrong."

Legal analysts and researcher Seamus Hughes uncovered the docket for the Epstein grand jury unsealing in the Southern District of Florida, noted national security expert Marcy Wheeler.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that President Donald Trump would push for his government to cancel all contracts with Elon Musk's xAI company.

During a Wednesday White House briefing, Leavitt was asked if Trump supported "federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard avoided mention of President Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein scandal while suggesting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had "psycho-emotional problems" and used "heavy tranquilizers."

During a White House briefing on Wednesday, Gabbard shared a declassified report from House Republicans about whether or not Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Newly-analyzed data has shown a “concerning pattern” in how President Donald Trump’s administration reacts to emergencies, with one expert calling it a “new era of erratic disaster response.”

“Unfortunately for those of us who live in disaster-prone places that might need (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) this hurricane season, the administration is showing a concerning pattern in how it’s deciding on governors’ requests for FEMA help,” wrote Sarah Labowitz, a senior fellow in the Sustainability, Climate and Geopolitics Program at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in a Washington Post op-ed published Wednesday.

It didn't take long for a White House spokesperson to sneer at the hosts of ABC's popular "The View" after co-host Joy Behar needled Donald Trump as being jealous of former President Barack Obama.

During Wednesday's episode, Behar took on the Trump White House's after the president said on Tuesday, "This was treason. This was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election. Irrefutable proof that Obama was sedatious (sic), that Obama led — was trying to lead a coup."

Rep. George Latimer (D-NY) laid into media outlets Wednesday for caving to President Donald Trump over several litigation threats.

“The news is louder than a toddler with a kazoo at a Metallica concert, so while the headlines scream, the internet screams even louder with a monologue known as ‘meanwhile,’” Latimer said, speaking on the House floor.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) scrambled to deny reports that he was adjourning the U.S. House of Representatives to prevent a vote on releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Yesterday, some of you may have seen a false headline in the New York Times, and the headline was terribly misleading," Johnson said on Wednesday. "It said, 'House Republicans are adjourning until September to avoid a vote on releasing Epstein materials.' I just want you to know, and everybody here knows, that's an outright lie."

Donald Trump's flirtation with wanting to take over Greenland has plunged the popularity of the U.S. to a new low among locals and in Denmark.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Trump's overtures to Denmark to assume possession of the protectorate was greeted with dismay and diminished goodwill built up over decades between the two countries.

The co-hosts of "The View" had a good laugh at President Donald Trump on Wednesday after he either slurred his words — or made up a new one altogether.

At issue is Trump's new conspiracy that President Barack Obama invented the evidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. It's nearly 10 years later and, Sunny Hostin remarked, Obama still "lives rent free in his head."

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) scolded acting FEMA director David Richardson for being "nowhere near Texas" in the days after a flood killed scores of people.

During a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on Wednesday, Stanton noted that Richardson had a duty under the law "to act proactively and not to wait for a request from Governor Abbott to pre-position resources."
