If it's Tuesday, top Justice Department officials say they will meet with convicted Epstein

despite multiple assessments from U.S. security agencies refuting and contradicting Trump's claims.

And as the hunger and humanitarian crisis in Gaza escalate,

Israel pushes forward in its own military offensive

amid new international pressure for a ceasefire

and a humanitarian aid corridor.
