Great, painstaking reporting by @bethreinhard.bsky.social and @aaronschaffer.com — a story you're only going to find at The Post.
At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.

The Trump Administration is legally required to release the Epstein Files by the end of today, but they are refusing to do so. The president himself signed this bill into law.

Some advice to Dem presidential candidates: commit to tearing down Trump's ballroom, the Arc de Trump on the National Mall, tearing down every gaudy piece of gold leaf in the WH, his stupid presidential wall of fame and renaming it the Kennedy Center again. Do it now because it means something.

Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
