Trump Administration in Turmoil Over Epstein Scandal as Foreign Relations Deteriorate

Donald Trump's administration faces internal chaos as senior advisers, including J.D. Vance, scramble to contain fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has engulfed the president. New details reveal panic within the White House as officials work to suppress the controversy surrounding Trump's connections to the disgraced financier. The crisis has spilled over into international relations, with Trump's criticism of Europe poisoning planned joint celebrations of America's 250th independence anniversary in Brussels. Leading German politicians have announced they will boycott what Trump considers "his" World Cup, while the administration has also disrupted the first meeting between New York's democratic mayor Mamdani and foreign leaders. The Epstein affair continues to dominate Trump's attention and create paralysis within his team as they struggle to manage the political damage.
