Today’s Big Story…

President Trump and First Lady Melania visited Kerrville, Texas, to survey the damage and speak with victims of the catastrophic floods.

After landing in San Antonio, they flew by helicopter to meet with first responders and witness the devastation firsthand. The First Lady offered condolences to those who lost loved ones, sharing that she had just met with many of them. During a roundtable with Gov. Greg Abbott, Melania showed a bracelet given to her by girls at Camp Mystic, honoring those killed in the flash flood. She also promised to return and meet with the families again.

“My deepest sympathy to all of the parents who lost beautiful young souls … We are grieving with you. Our nation is grieving with you,” stated the First Lady.

Officials announced that at least 121 people have died in the July 4 flash floods, with over 170 still missing. Most victims were from Kerr County, where 96 died, including 36 children. Among them were 27 girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp near the river.

Another Big Story…

Recent reports indicate that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are considering resigning due to tensions with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The conflict escalated after a heated confrontation at a White House meeting, where Bongino reportedly clashed with Bondi over her management of the case, leading him to take a day off amid speculation of his departure. Sources suggest both Patel and Bongino are frustrated with Bondi’s perceived lack of transparency, particularly after the DOJ and FBI jointly announced no further Epstein files, including a rumored client list, would be released.

Bondi’s earlier claims of having an Epstein client list on her desk, later clarified as referring to general files, have fueled criticism from Trump supporters and calls for her removal. Some insiders and right-wing commentators argue that Bondi’s handling has damaged public trust, with Patel and Bongino reportedly threatening to quit if she remains in her role.

However, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has denied any rift between the FBI and DOJ leadership, asserting unity remains in the administration. The situation remains fluid, with no official confirmation of resignations as of this weekend, and some administration officials insist Patel and Bondi plan to stay, though less certainty with Bongino.
