Try as he might, President Trump cannot seem to shake the controversy over his former friend Jeffrey Epstein. Why are people so interested in this case, and what are the political opportunities and costs? Dana @Milbank, @jawillick and @jameshohmann discuss how this story might…

jameshohmann's tweet card. Tariffs might not cause lasting inflation — but you’ll feel them in the checkout line.

jameshohmann's tweet card. Bondi told president at the meeting that Justice also decided to not release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims.

Very exciting for The Post. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to fill the shoes of the retiring @danbalz than @ktumulty. Karen is The Post. She’s been a brilliant columnist and was a stellar editorial page editor. She’s never stopped relentlessly reporting — and never will.

Not too late for New York City to avoid this fate. Government run grocery stores have never worked and never will.

SScott Lincicome@scottlincicome · Jul 18

Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers.

Trump’s letter to Epstein for his 50th bday contains text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and a squiggly “Donald” below her waist mimics pubic hair. wsj.com/politics/trump…

jameshohmann's tweet card. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’

Who paid for the t-shirts and the victory party? @trayonwhite did not list any expenditures in his campaign finance reports. He also did not provide details for any contributions. His report shows $816.12 on-hand, but no source for the funds.

Credit to Ward 8 voters: 71% rejected @trayonwhite. Big-time fail on behalf of all DC political players and institutions: none had the ability (desire?) to recruit or support a candidate. Winning required a mere 2,000 votes from among 56,000 eligible voters.
