✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

Hey Team! 😎

The Clintons are in the hot seat, as the House of Representatives is issuing subpoenas for both Bill and Hillary regarding their involvement with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. This bombshell development, coming only days after the announcement of new evidence showing Obama's role in manufacturing the Russian collusion hoax against President Trump, is further evidence of former administrations being systematically exposed for their corruption and coverups that have plagued American politics for decades.

Meanwhile, President Trump saw a massive victory against Columbia University, with the school coughing up a $221 million settlement over their DEI practices and rampant antisemitism that plagued Jewish students and faculty. And as the administration works tirelessly to advance America's position on cutting-edge AI technology, Trump provided a comprehensive action plan designed to guide the nation toward unprecedented innovation and global economic dominance. These are just some of the many ways that President Trump is putting America First policies into decisive action to ensure a stronger, more prosperous tomorrow for all Americans.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

⚖️ Trump Secures Historic Columbia University Settlement
President Trump has secured a $221 million settlement with Columbia University to resolve multiple federal civil rights investigations, marking what the White House calls the largest antisemitism-related settlement in U.S. history. The comprehensive deal includes $200 million over three years for alleged discriminatory practices and an additional $21 million to settle claims of antisemitic employment discrimination against Jewish faculty following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel. The agreement restores billions in federal research funding that had been suspended and imposes institutional oversight through an independent monitor, while requiring Columbia to implement significant reforms including enhanced campus protest rules and transferring disciplinary authority from faculty to administrators. Education Secretary Linda McMahon characterized the settlement as a seismic shift in holding institutions accountable for antisemitic discrimination, stating that elite campuses had been overrun by anti-western teachings and leftist groupthink that restricts speech and debate. Columbia admitted no wrongdoing but acknowledged the need for reform after what Acting President Claire Shipman described as "painful, unacceptable incidents" affecting Jewish students and faculty, with the university confirming that most suspended federal grants will be reinstated.

🔍 Trump Administration Pursues Obama Investigation
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hinted that former President Barack Obama has been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation, stating that evidence released from previously classified reports shows the outgoing Obama administration rejected intelligence assessments indicating Russia had not meaningfully interfered in the 2016 election. During a White House briefing, Gabbard explained that the Obama administration instead prepared a new assessment reaching the opposite conclusion, ostensibly to implicate President-elect Donald Trump and undermine his new administration. When asked about criminal implications, Gabbard confirmed that documents have been and will continue to be referred to the DOJ and FBI for investigation, asserting that evidence directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of the intelligence assessment. However, neither Gabbard nor White House press secretary Karolinen Leavitt addressed constitutional issues surrounding such an investigation, with Leavitt deferring decisions about last year's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity to the Department of Justice. Gabbard deflected when questioned about her previous description of Obama's behavior as "treasonous," stating she was not an attorney and would defer to the DOJ's expertise on the matter.

🌐 Trump Exits UNESCO Over Global Censorship
President Trump announced his administration's withdrawal from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), citing the global body's divisive ideological agenda and campaign for worldwide online censorship. The State Department explained that UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes while maintaining an outsized focus on the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals, which conflicts with America's First foreign policy, and criticized the organization's decision to admit the "State of Palestine" as a member state. The withdrawal, set to be completed on December 31, 2026, represents President Trump's second exit from UNESCO after previously departing in 2019 for similar reasons, though President Biden had returned the U.S. to the organization in 2023 at a cost of approximately $600 million. UNESCO has increasingly engaged in political activism, particularly through events like the 2023 "Internet for Trust Conference," where the organization compared internet users sharing disapproved political opinions to "insects" and called for repression of hate speech and conspiracy theories.

🤖 Trump Releases National AI Action Plan
President Trump released his administration's artificial intelligence action plan, declaring it a national security imperative to achieve and maintain unquestioned global technological dominance as competitors race to exploit transformative AI technologies. The comprehensive plan focuses on three main pillars: accelerating innovation by removing bureaucratic red tape, building out AI infrastructure, and making U.S. hardware and software the global standard for artificial intelligence while ensuring AI platforms have no ideological bias. White House AI czar David Sacks emphasized that artificial intelligence represents a global competition with profound ramifications for both the economy and national security, making it crucial for America to win the race and remain the dominant power in AI development. The plan includes provisions to consider a state's AI regulatory environment when distributing federal funds for AI development, though initial proposals to bar states from receiving broadband funding for regulating AI were removed after concerns raised by Senator Marsha Blackburn regarding child safety and conservative censorship.

🔔 House Targets Clintons in Epstein Investigation🔔

Congressional Republicans have intensified their scrutiny of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by directing subpoenas toward Bill and Hillary Clinton, marking a significant escalation in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into connections between high-profile political figures and the convicted sex trafficker. During a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Scott Perry successfully motioned to subpoena the Clintons alongside a comprehensive list of former Justice Department officials, including ex-FBI Director James Comey, former special counsel Robert Mueller, and previous attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales. The Republican-led panel approved Perry's motion via voice vote without an individual roll call, specifically aimed at expanding the full committee's investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's imprisoned accomplice who was convicted in December 2021 of sex trafficking of minors and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer must formally issue these subpoenas for them to become active, with committee aides confirming they will be issued in the near future. The Clinton subpoenas stem from documented connections between the former president and Epstein, including Bill Clinton's acknowledgment in his 2024 book that he flew aboard Epstein's private plane, known as the Lolita Express, as part of his work with the Clinton Global Initiative nonprofit. Clinton expressed regret about the association, writing that he wished he had never met Epstein and asserting the relationship was not worth the years of questioning that followed. Records also show that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times shortly after Clinton was sworn into office in 1993, further cementing the connection that Republicans now seek to investigate through formal congressional testimony.

The subpoena vote occurred amid broader Republican efforts to force transparency in the Epstein case, following significant media scrutiny over the Department of Justice's recent memo effectively declaring the matter closed. Figures on the right have criticized Trump officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing them of abandoning earlier commitments to transparency in the Epstein investigation. However, at the President's direction, the DOJ is moving to have grand jury files related to Epstein's case unsealed, while Bondi is examining whether Maxwell will cooperate with federal authorities. A separate House GOP-led motion directing Comer to subpoena Maxwell passed the House Oversight Committee unanimously, with Comer issuing that subpoena the following day.

The Republican initiative faced an interesting political dynamic as Rep. Summer Lee, a progressive "Squad" member from Pennsylvania, pushed for her own motion to subpoena Epstein-related files, which passed in an 8-to-2 vote and also directed Comer to issue that subpoena. Democrats have seized on Republican discord regarding the Epstein case, using the opportunity to force Republicans into uncomfortable political positions while advocating for their own version of transparency. Rep. Andy Biggs successfully amended Lee's proposal to include a call for the release of Biden administration communications related to Epstein, demonstrating how both parties are attempting to leverage the scandal for political advantage.

Meanwhile, the administration's broader efforts to unseal Epstein-related documents have encountered significant legal obstacles in federal court. U.S. District Court Judge Robin Rosenberg for the Southern District of Florida denied President Trump's Department of Justice request to unseal transcripts from Florida grand jury proceedings related to a 20-year-old criminal investigation into Epstein, stating that her hands were tied by existing legal precedent. The judge explained that a 2020 ruling by the Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals does not permit her to unseal grand jury records in instances not covered by criminal procedure rules, despite the DOJ's arguments about strong public interest in the historical investigation. The Trump administration had petitioned to obtain transcripts from two grand juries that convened in 2005 and 2007, arguing that many rationales supporting grand jury secrecy no longer applied following Epstein's 2019 death, which the department claimed was a suicide.

However, Judge Rosenberg determined that neither the public interest argument nor the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death qualified as exceptions to the rule regarding transcript secrecy, though her ruling does not impact two other pending DOJ requests seeking grand jury transcripts related to later investigations that led to the 2019 and 2020 New York indictments of Epstein and Maxwell. The administration's push for transparency came after the DOJ's controversial conclusion on the Epstein case, which included claims that there was no evidence of a client list used for blackmail purposes, garnered significant backlash from lawmakers and supporters. President Trump responded to this criticism by ordering Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony subject to court approval, repeatedly characterizing the case as a scam and hoax by Democrats designed to distract from his political success.

This multifaceted congressional and judicial battle over Epstein-related documents and testimony represents a convergence of political accountability, legal transparency, and partisan maneuvering that continues to reverberate through Washington's corridors of power.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

⚖️ The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump can proceed with firing three Democratic members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who had been fired and then reinstated to their roles by a lower court judge, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting from the majority decision. The Trump administration had appealed to the Supreme Court after U.S. District Judge Matthew Maddox, a Biden appointee, ruled that the firings of Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric, and Richard Trumka Jr. were unlawful and ordered their reinstatement, arguing that the tenured design of the five-member, staggered-term CPSC board does not interfere with President Trump's executive branch powers under Article II of the Constitution.

🏙️ New York City Mayor Eric Adams praised President Trump's border security efforts during an interview on Wednesday, stating that the administration's work in securing the southern border has provided "real relief" to New York City by reducing asylum seekers entering the city to less than 100 per week, down from thousands during the previous administration. Adams noted that the $7.7 billion the city spent on housing and caring for illegal immigrants over the past few years "could have gone to other services in our city," and he connected his criticisms of the Biden administration's immigration policies to his federal indictment on bribery and fraud charges, which was dismissed with prejudice by a U.S. district judge. The mayor agreed with Trump's assessment that former President Joe Biden's Department of Justice had become "too politicized," describing his experience as "lawfare" and stating that Americans should never have to endure what he and others went through under the previous administration's Justice Department.

🚔 The Department of Homeland Security has overseen a massive 400 percent increase in detainer requests for criminal illegal aliens in New York City, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement issuing 6,025 detainers since January 20, compared to fewer than 9,500 detainers issued during former President Joe Biden's entire four-year term in office. DHS officials revealed that despite this substantial increase in detainer requests, which are formal requests for local law enforcement to hold illegal aliens until they can be transferred to ICE custody, New York City officials have only honored a handful of these requests due to the city's sanctuary policies. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin criticized sanctuary cities for ignoring ICE detainers and protecting "barbaric criminals with prior convictions for rape, murder, drug trafficking" at the expense of American citizens, pointing to cases where illegal aliens were released back into communities and subsequently accused of attempting to murder law enforcement officers.

📺 White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt excoriated the media for perpetuating what she called the "complete scam" and "scandal" of the Russia collusion narrative, stating that President Trump wants to see accountability for those who "perpetuated this fraud against our country" and "betrayed our country and the Constitution" through what she described as 10 years of lies. Leavitt, appearing alongside Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who presented evidence suggesting the Obama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" about Russian interference in the 2016 election, criticized major networks for hiring figures like James Clapper, Andy McCabe, and James Comey to continue spreading what she characterized as known lies on television.

🏠 President Trump floated the possibility of ending capital gains tax on home sales during a meeting with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., telling reporters "we're thinking about that" when asked about eliminating such taxes to unleash the housing market, though he noted that lowering interest rates through Federal Reserve action might achieve similar results. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene praised Trump's remarks and connected them to her No Tax on Home Sales Act, introduced on July 10, which would eliminate federal capital gains tax on primary residence sales to encourage mobility, increase housing supply, and provide tax relief to homeowners looking to downsize or relocate without being penalized for property appreciation. Under current law, homeowners can exclude up to $250,000 for single filers or $500,000 for joint filers in capital gains from home sales if they have lived in the property as their primary residence for at least 24 months in the previous five years, with any gains above those thresholds subject to long-term capital gains tax based on income levels.
