“President Donald Trump is angry. His team is exasperated. The Republican-controlled House is in near rebellion,” Politico reports.“Trump and his closest allies thought they’d spend the summer taking a well-earned victory lap, having coaxed Congress into passing the megabill, bullied foreign governments into a slew of new trade arrangements, convinced NATO allies to spend billions more on collective defense and pressed world leaders to bow to various other demands from Doha to The Hague.”“Instead, questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, who was found dead in his jail cell by suicide nearly six years ago, are overshadowing almost everything else.”Said one person close to the White House: “POTUS is clearly furious. It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed.”
