The release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files has triggered a political storm in the United Kingdom, threatening Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership and implicating prominent figures, while former President Donald Trump's recent social media activity has sparked controversy in the United States. These developments, along with other ongoing events, have dominated headlines.
According to Time, the UK government found itself at the center of a potentially fatal political storm following the release of files connected to the U.S. investigations into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The files have already impacted the monarchy, with Prince Andrew stripped of his royal title. The U.S. Justice Department's release of over 3 million Epstein-related files last week has renewed calls for accountability. The fallout has spread to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister.
Simultaneously, former President Donald Trump posted a racist video to his Truth Social feed, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama's faces superimposed on apes, according to Vox. The post, which was 62 seconds long, has since been deleted. This action has reportedly made members of his own party uneasy.
In other news, the Washington Post, under Jeff Bezos' ownership, is experiencing decline with job losses and subscriber cancellations, raising questions about Bezos' motives, according to a multi-source summary in Time.
The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has also captured public attention, with the Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie noticeably absent, according to Vox. The situation highlights the intersection of celebrity and social media in the context of tragedy.
Meanwhile, in the world of sports, Jessie Diggins, America's most-decorated cross-country skier, is preparing for her fourth and final Olympics in Milano Cortina, according to Time. Diggins, 34, is motivated to share her last Olympic experience with friends, family, and fans. "That's why I'm here, training my brains out," she told Time.
