Trump continues to face backlash from his MAGA supporters over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. He's called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "whatever she thinks is credible," while saying he doesn't understand the interest in the case, calling it "sordid" but "boring."

Senate Republicans consider shortening August recess following Trump's request to confirm more nominees, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune accusing Dems of obstructing the confirmation process.

Congress is typically out of session for the whole month of August. Now, Trump wants them to abandon those plans and stay in DC.
