The U.S. Attorney for Maryland has reportedly expressed skepticism about the evidence against Senator Adam Schiff in a mortgage fraud investigation, suggesting there may not be enough to charge him. President Trump has called for Schiff's prosecution, but the DOJ has denied claims about the strength of the case, with Schiff's lawyer labeling the investigation as politically motivated and baseless.

President Trump was informed by Attorney General Pam Bondi that his name appeared multiple times in Department of Justice documents regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This meeting occurred shortly before the DOJ announced it would not release the Epstein files to the public, despite previous assurances, leading Trump to request the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to the case.
