Trump Mocks Concerns About Epstein; Trump Continues Biden's Policy of Arming Ukraine; Trump and Lula Exchange Barbs Over Brazil

Trump's Justice Department abruptly closed the Jeffrey Epstein investigation with no further disclosures, contradicting years of promises by Trump allies to reveal incriminating information, including the elusive "client list." Despite repeated accusations against the Biden administration for covering up, the Trump DOJ now claims no such list exists and Epstein's death was a suicide without suspicious evidence.

Trump himself openly mocked questions about Epstein, calling the issue "trivial" during a White House meeting, alienating his own supporters who had demanded accountability. Simultaneously, Trump reversed his long-standing opposition to Biden's Ukraine policy, endorsing continued support and weapon shipments based on the idea that Putin is untrustworthy and must be opposed.

This pivot also highlights Trump's continuation of bipartisan U.S. foreign policy, despite earlier campaign rhetoric. These developments represent a significant shift in Trump’s messaging and policy stance, impacting his base and U.S. involvement overseas.
