Jeffrey Epstein’s ex and confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, is finally arrested. US Covid-19 cases reach a new record, despite Trump saying the virus is going to “sort of, just disappear.” Aides in Trump’s inner circle are divided about his re-election strategy, with some arguing he should focus on the pandemic while others push him to concentrate on the economy instead.

Covid-19 outbreaks at US meatpacking plants are purposefully being kept secret, with several officials refusing to speak about multiple employees testing positive. It’s time to take out the trash!
