We have some major developments this morning. It was really one of the worst nights for the Trump administration to date. Donald Trump's narrative over Jeffrey Epstein and the Epstein files has completely fallen apart, and the White House has been caught in a lie. The Trump administration tried to indict six Democratic lawmakers for seditious conspiracy in that, quote, illegal orders video, yet failed. And, well, a big news that not many people are talking about. Trump's tariffs are on the verge of being overturned. Overruled as three Republicans blocked a rule in the House of Representatives late last night that would have prevented ending Trump's tariffs through August. Well, they blocked it. They said, no, we're going to end Trump's tariffs a lot sooner. All while the Trump administration is searching for a possible way to distract the American public. So what did they do? They closed the airspace over El Paso, Texas for a period of 10 days for all flights, including medevac flights. As rumors circulate over what the Trump administration has planned next, make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe. The more you like, the more people see and subscribe to my substack. Click the link below. It's going to be a very busy day. Here's what's on the agenda before I get in the news. I'll be on Capitol Hill today, meeting with Epstein survivors for their press conference ahead of Attorney General Pam Bondi's critical hearing in which he's going to be testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee today where she'll be talking about Jeffrey Epstein, this failed indictment and much more. I've also sent over 100 documents, redacted Epstein files to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. And I'm trying to get information about what's actually under those redactions. But let's just jump right into it because the Trump administration's narrative on Epstein has fallen apart overnight. Donald Trump and MAGA embraced this idea that Donald Trump was a whistleblower because new documentation showed that in the mid-2000s, Donald Trump called the Palm beach county police chief and told him that Jeffrey Epstein was an evil person, that everyone knew what Epstein was up to. That good on the police chief for stopping Epstein, calling Maxwell Epstein's, quote, operative, also calling her evil. And while most of maga, including the White House, ran with it and said, you know what? Trump is this hero essentially for calling a authority and telling them about Jeffrey Epstein. Take a listen to what Caroline Levitt had to say in the press briefing room.

Talk about in a completely separate topic. I was hoping you can clarify something that's come up over the last several days again regarding a separate topic in Epstein files. According to newly released files, the President had a conversation with the Palm beach police chief in the early 2000s, according to the police chief in 2019. The president has gone on record before and he's told reporters that he's said that Jeffrey ep he had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes during this conversation with his police chief. However, he did say, according to this recounting of it, that thank goodness you're stopping him. He also called Ghislaine Maxwell evil. So my two questions are, did that conversation with the Palm Leach police chief happen? And can you explain the discrepancy?

White House Press Secretary/Spokesperson
What I will say is that the President has always remained concerned, consistent, and that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club at Mar a Lago because, frankly, Jeffrey Epstein was a creep. And unlike many other people who are named in these files, President Trump cut off his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and was honest and transparent about that for years and years. And so I think what the President has said all along has always remained true. And the release of more than 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous, disgusting crimes just shows the level of transparency that this president and administration has committed to in bringing these files to light.

But did he call the chief?

So she's saying he's very transparent. He. He kicked Epstein out of his club and that phone call. Well, that phone call, the problem is, happened after Epstein's story became public. When Epstein was arrested, they had been investigating the case since 2005. That phone call happened years later. Why is that a problem? Well, because if Donald Trump knew that Epstein was this creep and wanted to kick him out of Mar A Lago and knew that Ghislaine Maxwell was evil and all of these things, why wait until after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested to make the call? It's almost like Trump wanted to get ahead of anything that was coming out. And while you heard Caroline Levitt talk about Trump trying to kick Epstein out of his club. But this document right here, I can almost certainly guarantee you disproves that under this redaction, what you would find if they unredacted it is a narrative, a narrative put forth by Donald Trump's lawyers to Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers. A narrative that specifically says that Donald Trump essentially welcomed Epstein to Mar A Lago as a guest, not as a member, but as a guest. Nowhere in this narrative did it ever say that Epstein was kicked out of Mar A Lago. And while that undermines the Trump administration narrative, and it comes at a very precarious time for Donald Trump, because overnight we learned that Jeanine Pirro in the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia tried to indict six Democratic lawmakers for seditious conspiracy. Alyssa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Jason Crow. This all relates to the, Remember the illegal orders video where these lawmakers told members of the military to not follow illegal orders. Trump said that they should be executed, they should be hung. Well, they tried to indict them. And a grand jury of D.C. residents last night said, we're not going to do it. We're not going to do it. We're not going to give you this indictment. Another failed indictment. Jason Crow. In response, one of the lawmakers said, quote, if these fuckers think that they're going to intimidate us and threaten and bully me in the silence, and they're going to have to go after political opponents and get us to back down, they have another thing coming. The tide is turning. Presumably it is because this vote happened late last night as well, while many were asleep. This was a vote on a resolution that would have prevented the United States House of Representatives from overturning Donald Trump's tide tariffs. Look at the vote totals. 217 nays, 214 yays. The vote failed, and House Republicans joined House Democrats in rejecting the vote. Three House Republicans, to be exact. Kevin Kiley from California, Don Bacon from Nebraska, and one other House Republican, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, joined Democrats in voting against this rule. And while now we have confirmation on Capitol Hill that as soon as today we will have votes to overturn Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, on Mexico, and later around the world. And so what is the Trump administration doing? Searching for a distraction. And what that distraction is is unclear as of now, but this may have something to do with it. This morning, the FAA has issued a temporary flight restriction halting all flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas, an area of southern New Mexico, for 10 days due to, quote, special security reasons. A notice by the FAA classifies the airspace as national defense airspace and says pilots who violate the restriction could be intercepted, detained and questioned by law enforcement. It warns that additional actions could be taken for pilots who don't adhere to the restrictions, including suspension of flight certifications, criminal charges, and that the United States government, quote, may use deadly force if an aircraft poses an imminent security threat. Rumors have it the United States may be moving closer to targeting Mexico. A serious morning and a serious day. I'll be on Capitol Hill all day, meeting with survivors and lawmakers. Spread the word. And I'll see you soon for another update. So stay tuned for all the news you need to know about.
