The House Oversight and Reform Committee has received some of the hundreds of thousands of pages of documents around the investigation of accused sex trafficker and molester Jeffrey Epstein — and that first batch could be revealed to the public as soon as Tuesday night.

CNN's Manu Raju posted on X that one person familiar with the situation revealed the committee is expected to release the documents very soon, if not later today.

University of Michigan economics and public policy Professor Justin Wolfers said he has a fear that the cryptocurrency bubble will burst and that President Donald Trump will use taxpayer dollars to help bail out the crypto market, the way the United States did after the mortgage crisis in 2008.

Trump has profited over $5 billion with his own meme coin and is now opposing any regulation of cryptocurrency.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson went on a full attack against President Donald Trump on Tuesday as the former warned that it appears federal agents are already staging an effort to invade Chicago the way that has been done with Washington, D.C.

Both Pritzker and Johnson accused Trump of pulling federal resources that aided the city and state's anti-crime programs that were helping communities, effectively defunding the police.

Donald Trump’s “bluster” about using the National Guard to occupy cities, all of which are governed by Democratic mayors, was a contributing factor in a major legal blow to his administration Tuesday.

Early Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that the administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act for deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles.

Republican Stuart Stevens could not understand why MSNBC was spending any time talking about the aging Democrats dropping out of Congress rather than a president who has deployed the National Guard to police U.S. citizens.

The conversation was about Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who announced on Tuesday he would retire from Congress at the end of the term.

President Donald Trump dismissed the circulation of a viral video that appeared to show a dark bag being thrown out of an upstairs window at the White House — saying it didn't happen and it was probably faked with artificial intelligence.

"There's a video that is circulating online now of the White House, where a window is opened to the residence upstairs, and somebody is throwing a big bag out the window," said Fox News' Peter Doocy. "Have you seen this?"

Fox News' Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump about the internet rumors that spread over the weekend that he was dead or gravely ill. While some bought into the rumors, the larger conversation among political commentators was about Trump's persistent health issues, dark bruises that have popped up on both of his hands, and his week-long disappearance from cameras.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Trump seemed shocked by the question.

President Donald Trump blamed "fake news" after learning that rumors had circulated about his death.

During a White House event on Tuesday afternoon, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump about the "big viral social media trend."

Behind the scenes, one of President Donald Trump’s top nemeses is scoring major victories and leaving the president on the defensive. The Atlantic reported Monday the details of a highly organized, remarkably effective “legal resistance” to Trump’s ongoing efforts in his second term.

Former ethics czar, impeachment prosecutor, and frequent thorn in Trump’s side, Norm Eisen, “has pursued more than 100 legal matters” against Trump, according to the report.

Any hope that Donald Trump and his inner circle may have had about dispelling rumors about his health suffered a setback on Tuesday morning after the president was interviewed by conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings.

In a snippet of the interview Jennings posted to X, the president sounds nasal and congested as he complained about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Donald Trump has abruptly canceled funding for a massive project in deep-red Indiana, leaving many of his supporters feeling confused and hurt.

The Trump administration rescinded a $500 million grant for the Heidelberg plant in Mitchell to trap and bury greenhouse gas produced by cement manufacturing as part of its ongoing purge of funding for projects perceived to be linked to global warming, reported the Washington Post.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) announced Tuesday that she won’t be seeking a third term in a video posted to social media, setting the stage for a contested Senate seat in the state of Iowa which, while not considered a swing state, has historically been competitive.

“After a tremendous amount of prayer and reflection, I will not be seeking re-election in 2026,” Ernst said in a video message, posted on the social media platform X. “This was no easy decision; I love my state and country.”
