In recent developments, President Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, strengthening ties between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. This comes as Congress voted to release long-anticipated files related to Jeffrey Epstein, prompting discussions on the implications of his connections with high-profile figures, including those linked to Saudi Arabia. Despite the political backdrop, Trump continues to defend the Crown Prince amidst criticism and low approval ratings. As the midterm elections approach, Democrats are seen to possibly gain an advantage, while the fallout from the Epstein files continues to dominate news headlines.
