Summary

On today’s Daily Signal Top News, we break down: Former President Donald Trump denounced the federal case against him as “the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country” during a primetime speech from his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Modelo Especial, a Mexican beer, took the top spot as the U.S.’ #1 selling beer in May, replacing BudLight, which has held the spot for over two decades. Former Secretary of State and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is criticizing Republicans defending Trump over his indictment. Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance announced a new step Tuesday that will make it harder for judicial nominees to get confirmed, criticizing Attorney General Merrick Garland for “going after his political opponents.” Reuters is reporting that the president of Belarus said that his country has started taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons.
