The release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has ignited a political firestorm in Britain, while former President Donald Trump faces criticism for sharing a racist video and making disparaging remarks about Haitians. Simultaneously, Haiti grapples with political instability as its transition government dissolves. These events, along with a broken sewer pipe near the White House and ongoing developments in the entertainment and sports worlds, dominated headlines.
According to Time, the British government found itself at the center of a potentially fatal political storm following the release of Epstein-related files. The fallout has spread to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of Britain's Prime Minister Keir S. The disclosures have already impacted the monarchy, with Prince Andrew stripped of his royal title and facing renewed calls for accountability. The U.S. Justice Department released over 3 million Epstein-related files last week.
Across the Atlantic, Trump's actions drew condemnation. Variety reported that Trump shared a racist video, sparking bipartisan outrage. Vox noted that Trump, during his last campaign, falsely accused Haitians in Ohio of eating pets and derided Haiti as a "shithole country." This has led to concerns among Haitian Americans, who fear his actions will be much worse.
Meanwhile, Haiti's future remains uncertain. NPR Politics reported that the country's transition government is dissolving, raising questions about its stability.
In other news, a broken sewer pipe near the White House released approximately 243 million gallons of wastewater into the Potomac River, according to NPR Politics. Repairs are expected to take months due to a blockage.
In the entertainment world, Variety reported that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos addressed concerns about Trump's potential involvement in the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger, stating that Trump will not be involved in any improper way, and that the Justice Department will handle the deal.
Sports news included American skier Breezy Johnson winning gold, but the victory was overshadowed by teammate Lindsey Vonn's crash and potential career-ending injury, according to Vox.
