Trump's Ongoing Investigations
President Trump is facing significant challenges as investigations into his administration intensify, particularly regarding security clearances for Jared Kushner. Despite concerns from intelligence officials and the White House's top lawyer, Trump ordered that Kushner receive a security clearance, raising further scrutiny from House Democrats. This comes amid a series of high-profile hearings related to the Trump Organization, with plans for notable testimonies, including Michael Cohen's extended hearings and potential appearances from Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump. The mounting pressure from ongoing investigations appears to overshadow any legislative victories or wins resulting from his recent international engagements.
