While talking to reporters on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump was "serious" about his threat to the Washington Commanders football team, specifically that the team should revert back to its former name or he "may put a restriction" on the team.

The government’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has roiled the president’s closed supporters for weeks.

Trump attempts to refocus on what he sees as his accomplishments, six months into his second term, and away from Jeffrey Epstein. And a judge was assigned to the DOJ's motion to unseal grand jury testimony from the Epstein case.

President Donald Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act, which aims to combat the fentanyl crisis into law, during an event in the East Room of the White House. Trump was accompanied by various lawmakers and family members who have lost loved ones to the epidemic.
