OBAMA'S REBUKE: Former President Barack Obama’s office issued a rebuke of Trump yesterday over his accusation that his predecessor committed “treason” and rigged the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

While meeting with Philippines President Marcos, President Donald Trump said he "doesn’t know a thing" about Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying he will meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

April 9: Trump's higher "reciprocal tariffs" begin just after midnight. Hours later, the president says he is issuing a 90-day pause on those duties, except for China. Trump raises tariffs on Chinese goods from 104% to 145%, the highest rate so far this year.

Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut the House down early for the summer on Wednesday to head off Democrats’ calls for votes for greater transparency into the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019.

Meanwhile, Trump says the Epstein controversy is helping him instead of hurting him. Plus, Trump goes on the offensive, accusing Barack Obama of treason - without providing any evidence to back the allegation.

Trading updates and corporate earnings from some of Europe’s auto giants show the extent to which Trump’s tariffs have started to take their toll.

General Motors and other U.S. companies give updates on how much President Trump’s tariffs are impacting them.

President Donald Trump said he could meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the "not too distant future" following an invitation from Beijing.
