President Donald Trump’s White House is frantically trying to put out the blaze sparked by its own promises to expose whatever the federal government is hiding about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. A Wall Street Journal bombshell has only flared up the rage, increasing the likelihood that this fire will keep burning all summer.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is not planning to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, but he kept the door open to the possibility and renewed his criticism of the central bank chief for not lowering interest rates.
