* Ghislaine Maxwell: Mr. Trump said he was not aware of a Justice Department
official’s request to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of
Mr. Epstein now serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Mr. Trump
called the request “appropriate” but fended off a question about the
involvement of the official, Todd Blanche, who was once the president’s
criminal defense attorney.
* Marcos visit: Mr. Trump said the United States was “very close to finishing
a trade deal” with the Philippines during his appearance with President
Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who has sought to secure more favorable terms for his
country. Mr. Trump, who has sought to unify his fractured base by tapping
into its other grievances, spent much of the event lashing out at political
opponents, including accusing former President Barack Obama of treason.
