President Trump says DNI has proof of President Obama "treasonous" acts re: 2016... If true, that evidence would've been missed by bipartisan Senate intel investigation, Trump 1.0 DOJ, Special Counsels Mueller & Durham, survived through 4 years of Biden then found in < 6 months.
The House will start it's August recess early to avoid voting on resolutions to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Story via @scottwongDC, @KyleAlexStewart & @SyedahAsghar: nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
And just like that, the Epstein story has a new chapter.
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
For those not on Capitol Hill, this is a House GOP debacle. They are so scared of votes re: Epstein that they will punt most of this week's legislative schedule and start their summer break early.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
The new House breakdown is 219 Republicans, 212 Democrats after Rep. Mark Green vacated his seat yesterday. Now four vacancies — created by Green (R) and the deaths of Connolly (D), Grijalva (D) and Turner (D).
The Chair read a letter of retirement from @RepMarkGreen noting his resignation to be effective July 20th.
JUST IN: Trump’s lawsuit against Murdoch and the WSJ goes to Judge Darrin Gayles, an appointee of Barack Obama.

Former RNC Co-chair and current Fox News host @LaraLeaTrump says she intends to decide on an #NCSEN run by Thanksgiving - telling reporters at the White House today that a run would be a big decision for her family. Lots of Republicans watching that decision closely.
A RISING TRUMP-ERA TREND: Republicans keep voting for bills they say they don't like Some call to undo/fix policies they just backed. Others predict they'll have regrets. Some threaten to vote no, then fold. Others warn they're ceding Article I power. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Now seems like the best time to admit I that saw Coldplay live once (2003 or 2004) and they weren't great. I was annoyed the singer never introduced the rest of the band.
In answer to @GarrettHaake question about whether Trump signed off on firing Epstein prosecutor Maurene Comey, Karoline Leavitt lays the decision at Pam Bondi’s feet, saying it was “made by the Department of Justice.”
.@PressSec tells reporters, “The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels.”
