Live updates: Trump allies seek to quiet Epstein furor; Russia faces tariff threat over Ukraine ceasefire

President Trump's allies are seeking to calm the furor that has engulfed the last week involving the Jeffrey Epstein case and the administration.

On Monday, Charlie Kirk became the latest voice to encourage trust in how Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department are handling the fallout from an FBI memo last week that said there was no Epstein "client list" to release nor reason to believe he died any way other than suicide.

"I’m going to trust my friends in the administration, I’m going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands," Kirk said.

At the White House on Monday, Trump said the U.S. would impose 100 percent secondary economic sanctions on countries that trade with Russia if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine in the next 50 days.

"We’re very, very unhappy with them, and we’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in about 50 days," Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office. The announcement comes a day after Trump said the U.S. would sell Patriot missiles to Europe for use in Ukraine.

Both the Senate and House are back in session this week. As the House works on appropriations bills, the Senate is headed toward a Friday deadline to pass a rescissions package from the White House.
