Trump's Actions Ignite Church, Penn Station, Epstein Storm

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt contradicted former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, stating that Trump had floated the idea of renaming New York's Penn Station and Washington, D.C.'s Dulles Airport after himself. This statement directly countered Trump's earlier assertion that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had suggested renaming Penn Station to "Trump Station."

According to Time, Leavitt said, "About renaming, why not? It is something the President floated in his conversation with Chuck Schumer." This statement came four days after Trump claimed Schumer had proposed the name change as part of a deal to unfreeze federal funding for the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel project, which would add another commuter tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan.

The controversy surrounding Trump extends beyond the Penn Station renaming proposal. Multiple news sources, including Time and Vox, reported on a range of political and legal issues involving the former president. These include allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein, as noted in reports from Time.

Simultaneously, other significant developments are unfolding. NATO is shifting some Joint Force Command leadership to European allies, and a "QuitGPT" movement is gaining traction, as reported by Time. Additionally, Vox reported on the potential impact of the Epstein files, suggesting they could have significant political ramifications, though not necessarily within the U.S. government.
