President Donald Trump is struggling to divert attention away from Jeffrey Epstein.
What to know: The controversy over Trump’s handling of the late sex offender’s case refuses to go away. So he’s been firing off posts on Truth Social — some are very strange.

The details: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the thousands of files include discussion of potential leads on the 1968 killing, internal FBI memos and more.
Family reaction: King’s son and daughter warned against misuse of the files. The family has long said the convicted assassin, James Earl Ray, was not solely responsible, if at all.
Looking back: The 2020 killings of Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd prompted a reckoning over racism in the U.S. and police brutality. Here’s what’s happened since.
The U.N. said its facilities were hit by Israeli troops in Gaza.

In other health news: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Coca-Cola switching to sugar instead of corn syrup would be a MAHA win — nutrition experts are skeptical.
