A federal judge’s order blocking former President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship has taken effect

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is granting two years of regulatory relief to coal-fired power plants, chemical manufacturers and other polluting industries as he seeks to reverse Biden-era regulations he considers overly burdensome.

Donald Trump's aides were expected on Friday to ask a court to release grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein, as the president fought back against concerns over his administration's handling of the deceased convicted sex offender's case.

After months of pushing back against federal judges and the courts, the president has requested the release of Epstein-related grand jury testimony to be “subject to Court approval.”

The scandal intensified on Thursday after a bombshell Wall Street Journal report stated that a card signed with Trump’s name was sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. The Journal reported that one of the letters was signed with Trump’s name and a typewritten message that included an outline of a naked woman.

President Trump said Friday he looked forward to seeing "The Wall Street Journal" and its owner, Rupert Murdoch in court after reporting on his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
