Trump calls Epstein disclosures battle ‘a Democrat hoax’
Three MAGA Republicans support a bipartisan petition to fully release 33,000 Epstein documents, 97% previously public, despite President Trump's opposition and labeling it a hoax.
- A federal judge ruled on September 1, 2025, that the Trump administration illegally used military troops for police functions in Los Angeles.
- This ruling stemmed from the administration's deployment of National Guard troops to set up perimeters and engage in crowd control, violating the Posse Comitatus Act.
