Trump rides major wave of momentum going into July Fourth after Iran, BBB, Supreme Court and lawsuit victories

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump is riding a major wave of momentum after he signed his $3.3 trillion «big, beautiful bill» Friday – a final notch in a series of wins for his administration in recent weeks.
The bill’s passage comes on the heels of other significant victories for his administration, including a Supreme Court ruling in his favor and successful strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.
«President Trump has delivered more wins for the American people in two weeks than most Presidents do in four years,» White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Thursday statement to Fox News Digital. «This has been the most historic two weeks of any Administration in history. Thanks to President Trump, America is back and is the hottest country in the world!»
The tax and domestic policy bill arrived on his desk after the House passed the final version of the measure Thursday – meeting Trump’s self-imposed Fourth of July deadline to get the measure over the finish line.

The bill includes key provisions that would permanently establish individual and business tax breaks included in Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and incorporates new tax deductions to cut duties on tips and overtime pay.
The measure also raises the debt limit by $5 trillion – a provision that has faced scrutiny from figures such as SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Furthermore, the bill rescinds certain Biden-era green energy tax credits, and allocates approximately $350 billion for defense and Trump’s mass deportation initiative to weed out illegal immigrants from the U.S.
The measure also institutes Medicaid reforms, including new 80-hour-a-month work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and expands work requirements for those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
Here are some other recent events that have gone in the Trump administration’s favor:
US strikes on Iran
The U.S. launched strikes June 21 targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities, which involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, according to Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Following the strikes, Trump said in an address to the nation that the mission left the nuclear sites «completely and totally obliterated,» and Caine said that initial battle damage assessments suggested «all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction.»
Still, Caine acknowledged that a final assessment would «take some time.»

But days later, a leaked report from the Defense Intelligence Agency, published by CNN and the New York Times, cast doubt on those claims, saying that the strikes had only set back Iran’s nuclear program by several months.
However, the Pentagon said Wednesday that internal intelligence assessments indicate the strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program by one or two years.
«We have degraded their program by one to two years, at least intel assessments inside the Department (of Defense) assess that,» Defense Department spokesman Sean Parnell told reporters Wednesday.
Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions
The Supreme Court ruled, 6–3, to block the lower courts from issuing universal injunctions on June 27. Multiple executive orders Trump has signed during his second administration have been tied up in the courts as a result of nationwide injunctions, including his ban on birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court’s ruling means that lower courts are only permitted to issue broad injunctions in limited cases, which Trump said would prevent a «colossal abuse of power.»
«I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers,» Trump said on June 27.
Paramount Global agrees to settlement
CBS News’ parent company, Paramount Global, Tuesday agreed to a $16 million settlement with Trump, stemming from a lawsuit Trump filed against CBS in October 2024 related to a «60 Minutes» interview with his opponent in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the lawsuit, Trump alleged that CBS deceptively edited the interview with Harris when asked about why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t «listening» to the Biden administration. While the segment aired one answer from Harris during a primetime special on the network, a less polished answer had previously appeared in a preview clip of the interview.
The money from the settlement will not go to Trump himself, but rather, toward his future presidential library and to cover the plaintiffs’ fees and costs. CBS said it worked with a mediator to reach the settlement agreement and that Paramount will not issue an apology.

Schumer says century-old law forces Trump DOJ, FBI to release Jeffrey Epstein files by August deadline

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Wednesday that Democrats invoked a century-old law to force President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice and the FBI to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.
At a press conference, Schumer said he joined all his Democratic colleagues on the Senate Homeland Security Committee in invoking «a century-old and little-known law known as the Rule of Five.» Under the federal law, Schumer said, «when any five senators on the Homeland Security Committee call on the executive branch, the executive branch must comply.»
Schumer said their request «covers all documents, files, evidence and other materials» in possession of the DOJ and the FBI related to the case of the United States v. Jeffrey Epstein.
«While protecting the victims’ identities can and must be of top importance, the public has a right to know who enabled, knew of, or participated in one of the most heinous sex trafficking operations in history,» Schumer said.

He pointed to past statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel promising transparency, but argued the public has only received «stonewall, evasion, lies.»
«Donald Trump campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. He broke that promise,» Schumer continued. «Trump should stop hiding from the truth. He should stop hiding from the American people. So today, Senate Democrats took action. We’re invoking federal law and using our authority as a check on the executive to compel transparency.»
«It’s not a stunt. It’s not symbolic. It’s a formal exercise of congressional power under federal law. And we expect an answer from DOJ by August the 15th,» the top Senate Democrat continued. «That’s what accountability looks like. This is what oversight looks like. And this is what keeping your promises to the American people look like.»
He also appealed to Senate Republicans.
«If you believe in transparency, if you believe Congress has a role to play in checking the executive, join us. Join us in calling for more transparency on the Epstein files, because once there’s transparency, the truth emerges,» Schumer said.
The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Schumer initially made the announcement during a speech on the Senate floor earlier Wednesday. The top Democrat argues that he and four other senators can force the Department of Justice to release the files to the public.

He argued the FBI assessment should accomplish three things: determine if foreign intelligence agencies could gain access to the information «the president does not want to release in the Epstein files, through methods that include cyber intrusion;» identify any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by foreign intelligence agencies with access to non-public information in the Epstein files, «including being able to gain leverage over Donald Trump, his family, or other senior government officials;» and result in the FBI publicly showing that the bureau is «developing mitigation strategies to counter these threats and safeguard our national security.»

Trump says Ukrainians can likely stay in US following months of uncertainty

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump has said he will likely allow Ukrainians who have fled the war with Russia to remain in the U.S., ending months of uncertainty over whether they would be forced to leave.
«I think we will, yeah, I do, I think we will,» Trump said Tuesday evening from the White House in response to a question by reporters regarding whether he will allow Ukrainians to remain in the U.S. until the war ends.
«We have a lot of people that came in from Ukraine, and we’re working with them,» he added.

TRUMP ISSUES FIRM 10-DAY DEADLINE TO PUTIN TO END WAR
Concern over the temporary protected status (TPS) afforded to roughly 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the war to the U.S. under the government program known as Uniting for Ukraine (U4U), first implemented in April 2022, has been heightened since the first day that Trump entered office in January when he issued the executive order titled «Securing our Borders.»
Eight days later, on Jan. 28, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that the order had paused the government program, barring additional Ukrainians from entering the U.S. under those protections.
However, even as TPS remained in place for Ukrainians already stateside, concern remained high amid reports in March that the president was considering the removal of this protection status.

MEDVEDEV WARNS TRUMP’S NEW DEADLINE TO END RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT IS A ‘STEP TOWARDS WAR’
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the reporting by Reuters and called it «fake news» before adding «no decision has been made at this time.»
However, when asked about the reporting later that day, Trump said, «We’re certainly not looking to hurt them.
«And I’m looking at that, and there were some people that think that’s appropriate, and some people don’t, and I’ll be making a decision pretty soon,» he added.
Confusion remained after DHS in April reportedly distributed an email to some Ukrainians under the TPS program notifying them that their status had been revoked, and they would need to leave the country within seven days.
DHS later confirmed this was sent in error, but the mistake highlighted the uncertainty that persisted for months.

The latest assurances by Trump come as he has grown increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s continued attacks on civilian populations in Ukraine despite U.S. attempts to forge a ceasefire.
Trump on Tuesday also announced that Putin has 10 days to enter into some sort of peace deal with Ukraine or face secondary sanctions on its chief commodity – oil.
Neither the White House nor DHS immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s questions regarding the president’s recent announcement, and it remains unclear if the U4U program could also be reopened to other Ukrainian citizens as the war continues.
