Former attorney general says expected replacement, Todd Blanche, was in charge of controversial process. Plus: why are US consumers so angry? Don’t already get First Thing in your inbox? Sign up here Good morning. Appearing before the House oversight and reform committee, the former attorney general Pam Bondi told lawmakers that Todd Blanche, the man Donald Trump has lined up to replace her, was “in charge” of the US Department of Justice’s controversial handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. She also said she was “not certain of the extent” that Trump knew about the crimes of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell before they became public. In her opening statement, Bondi defended the justice department’s handling of the records under her leadership and tried to distance herself from the release and review of the files, saying she did not “lead every aspect” of the DoJ’s effort, but that it was Blanche who oversaw it. If formally nominated by Trump to be attorney general on a permanent basis, Blanche would require confirmation from the US Senate. Why is the release of the files under scrutiny? Several lawmakers as well as survivors of Epstein’s abuse, have criticized some of the department’s actions and raised concerns over certain redactions and the disclosure of sensitive personal information in the files. Bondi acknowledged “there were redaction errors” in the release, but added: “Since day one of this process, this department has been committed to accountability and transparency.” What are the latest developments in Ukraine? In his first public letter to Vladimir Putin since the 2022 invasion, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has called for face-to-face negotiations. Acknowledging shifting US priorities while Washington remained focused on the Iran war, the Ukrainian president said it would be wrong to simply wait for the Trump administration to step in. The proposal comes as Ukraine regains some battlefield leverage through improved long-range strike capabilities, even as Moscow intensifies its deadly aerial campaign across the country.

United States President Donald Trump is used to getting his own way with Republican lawmakers— but there are signs of dissent as his party nervously eyes the looming midterm elections. From a vote against the Iran war to dissent over his $1.8 billion “anti-weaponisation fund” and costly White House ballroom, the nearly 80-year-old president has faced growing pushback. It comes as Trump faces record-low approval ratings 500 days into his second term, deepening Republican fears that they could lose control of Congress in November’s midterms. Billionaire Trump, the only president in American history to be impeached twice, has himself warned that he could face a third impeachment if that happens. “Republicans are looking at their own polls and discovering that Trump is turning into a drag on their reelection chances,” Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia, told AFP. Trump himself has begun to appear increasingly bored with the political battles, preferring to talk about grand projects closer to his real-estate-developer heart. But Republicans worry that his focus on pet projects — like an Ultimate Fighting Championship bout at the White House on his June 14 birthday —make him look out of touch. ‘Grandstanders!’ The biggest rebuke to Trump came on Thursday when the House of Representatives backed a resolution seeking to halt the increasingly drawn-out US military action against Iran. Trump on Friday lashed out on social media at the “unpatriotic” move and blasted four members of the Republican majority who crossed the floor to vote with rival Democrats as “GRANDSTANDERS!” Since his extraordinary return to power in January 2025, Trump has largely exerted an iron grip over the Republican Party. The party has, in turn, largely subsumed itself to Trump’s wishes and to the goals of his “Make America Great Movement”. There have been blips, particularly over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, when lawmakers voted to release files related to the late sex offender. But the economic fallout from the Iran war has deepened recent unease among Republicans about defending Trump’s priorities when voters are worried about the cost of living. In the USA Today newspaper, columnist Rex Huppke said that Republicans were “starting to show the faintest signs of embryonic spines”. Some of the most controversial of those priorities were front and centre as the US Senate embarked on a raft of votes on Thursday. One of those was the proposed fund for Trump’s allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the government, dubbed a “slush fund” by critics and provoking outrage among some Republicans. The Trump administration said the plan was being dropped earlier this week after a judge ruled against it, but Trump himself indicated on Wednesday that he was still keen on it. ‘Defections can matter’ Another controversial issue — a demand for $1bn for security for Trump’s new White House ballroom — was dropped before it could be voted on. Two of Trump’s recent personnel changes have also sparked dissent among Republican ranks. His choice of relatively junior housing official Bill Pulte to be the new US national intelligence chief has led to threats from some lawmakers to scuttle efforts to renew a powerful surveillance program. Trump insisted on Thursday that Pulte’s appointment was a stopgap, although it is one of his favourite tactics to use a temporary nomination to avoid a messy confirmation by the Senate. A bid to nominate his former personal lawyer Todd Blanche as the US attorney general could run into similar trouble. While the cracks may be showing, Trump’s hold over most Republicans remains clear. Trump has thrown his weight around by successfully backing MAGA candidates over Republican incumbents who defied him in several — very expensive — primaries. But that could also eventually work against him, said Sabato. “He defeated or forced into retirement several senators and representatives. In essence, he publicly humiliated them, and so now they aren’t inclined to do Trump any favours,” he said. “Congress is closely divided in both chambers, and a few defections can matter.”
