<p><b><span class="citation-122">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-122 citation-end-122"> President Trump has accused former President Obama of treason based on newly released Russiagate documents, while both the Department of Justice and Congress are seeking to interview Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-121 citation-end-121">On Tuesday, President Trump claimed that documents recently declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard prove Obama’s guilt in orchestrating the scandal. </span><span class="citation-120 citation-end-120">“They have &#8217;em stone cold, and it was President Obama,” Trump said. </span><span class="citation-119 citation-end-119">“The leader of the gang was President Obama. … He&#8217;s guilty. It&#8217;s not a question… This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election.” </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-118 citation-end-118">A statement from Obama’s office called the claims &#8220;ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.” </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-117 citation-end-117">Meanwhile, the DOJ and Congress are intensifying efforts to obtain more information from Ghislaine Maxwell. </span><span class="citation-116 citation-end-116">Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche said that while the DOJ stands by its findings that there is no Epstein “client list” and that he committed suicide, the department still wants to meet with Maxwell. </span><span class="citation-115 citation-end-115">In Congress, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), who sits on the House Oversight Committee, is leading the push to subpoena Maxwell to seek justice for Epstein’s victims. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-114 citation-end-114">Transparency advocates are also pushing for the release of documents that remain sealed. </span><span class="citation-113 citation-end-113">Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, told The Daily Wire that his organization is demanding the release of government records on Epstein through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). </span><span class="citation-112 citation-end-112">Fitton also said that President Trump should &#8220;intervene directly and direct the investigations himself&#8221; because the FBI and DOJ would otherwise be investigating their own handling of the case. </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b><span class="citation-111">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-111 citation-end-111"> Hunter Biden has made waves in a series of candid interviews, defending his past actions and lashing out at prominent Democrats and media figures whom he blames for forcing his father out of the 2024 presidential race. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-110 citation-end-110">In his first interviews in years, Hunter Biden, who received a full pardon from his father for firearms and tax convictions, dismissed his legal troubles and the controversy surrounding his laptop. </span><span class="citation-109 citation-end-109">He also defended his lucrative position on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma, for which he was paid an estimated $1 million annually, claiming he was &#8220;100% qualified&#8221; because of his wealth, connections, and education. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-108 citation-end-108">Hunter saved his harshest criticism for Democrats who he says betrayed his father, Joe Biden. </span><span class="citation-107 citation-end-107">He blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for pushing him out of the presidential race and claimed the Democrats lost in 2024 because they &#8220;did not remain loyal.&#8221; </span><span class="citation-106 citation-end-106">He directed profanity-laced tirades at actor George Clooney — saying, “F*** him and everybody around him” — and at political strategists James Carville and David Axelrod. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-105 citation-end-105">The interviews have caused a new headache for Democrats. </span><span class="citation-104 citation-end-104">According to the New York Post, leading party members want to move on from 2024 and view Hunter as a &#8220;personification of loss &#8216;that mainly helps Republicans.&#8217;” </span><span class="citation-103 citation-end-103">Carville published an op-ed calling for the party to unite behind a campaign to repeal Trump’s tax cuts. </span><span class="citation-102 citation-end-102">The hosts of the &#8220;Pod Save America&#8221; podcast, whom Hunter also targeted, fired back, stating, &#8220;You were a liability and you should be ashamed.&#8221; </span></p>

<p><b><span class="citation-101">Topline:</span></b><span class="citation-101 citation-end-101"> A significant spike in domestic business investment, coupled with a new trade deal and rising wages, indicates a strengthening American economy under President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-100 citation-end-100">A new report from the Federal Reserve shows that American businesses are investing near-record amounts in Capital Expenditures (CapEx), a positive sign for future growth. </span><span class="citation-99 citation-end-99">Last quarter saw an 11% increase in business equipment production, following a 23% spike in the previous quarter. </span><span class="citation-98 citation-end-98">Excluding the pandemic, this represents the strongest six-month period for such investment in nearly 30 years. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-97 citation-end-97">Joe Lavorgna, Counselor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, told The Daily Wire that the growth is a result of Trump’s policies. </span><span class="citation-96 citation-end-96">The &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; included retroactive expensing, faster permitting for energy projects, and made low tax rates permanent, all of which encourage businesses to invest in the U.S. </span><span class="citation-95 citation-end-95">This investment is contributing to a &#8220;blue collar boom,&#8221; with real wages for hourly workers rising nearly 2% in the last six months — the strongest growth for a president’s first six months in office in over 60 years. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-94 citation-end-94">The trend of domestic investment was further highlighted on Tuesday when European pharmaceutical giant <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/astrazeneca-unveils-50-billion-us-investment-pharma-tariff-threat-looms-2025-07-21/">AstraZeneca</a> announced a $50 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing and research facilities, a move reportedly made to avoid Trump’s looming tariffs. </span></p>
<p><span class="citation-93 citation-end-93">Additionally, President Trump announced a major trade breakthrough with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/winning-trump-secures-trade-deals-in-philippines-and-indonesia">the Philippines</a>, stating the country is &#8220;going OPEN MARKET with the United States, and ZERO Tariffs&#8221; in exchange for military cooperation. </span></p>
