Trump’s own MAGA backers torch his state fair 'disgrace'

President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair has been an ongoing disaster for all the reasons that bother him the most, and as The Telegraph highlighted in a new report, his own MAGA supporters are trashing the whole affair.The fair kicked off on Thursday of last week and is planned to run for 16 days, serving as one of the centerpieces of Trump's planned festivities for America's 250th birthday. The event has been dogged by bad news for weeks now, however, with numerous musicians ditching plans for a free concert series after the event's explicit affiliation with Trump came to light.The event has also drawn withering criticism and mockery for its sparse attendance and lackluster offerings, including a mock-up triumphal arch that is already falling apart. Speaking with The Telegraph for a report this week, even several Trump supporters expressed sadness over how the fair turned out.“I grew up with state fairs in Iowa, and this is really disappointing,” Holly Lewis, a travel agent from Virginia, told The Telegraph. This should have been the highlight of my life. This should have been like the World Exposition. But most of the states are a bit of a disappointment. It would have been really good if FIFA had run this. This feels like a silent protest.”“I think we would have had a lot more people if Trump wasn’t president,” another Trump supporter, Wiley Larsen, told the outlet, saying they "think he’s doing a lot of great things," but acknowledging that many others are unhappy with him.Ari Drumm, a supporter from Florida, called the situation another case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome."“It’s a disgrace,” Drumm said. “We should be together in this. We should be 50 United States and this is not very unified.”Amy Cohen, a university administrator from Virginia who the report did not describe as a Trump supporter, also expressed profound disappointment over the state of the fair. “This is all so weird,” Cohen said. “I am really sad and disappointed that what could have been an extraordinary celebration of the many, many things that make the United States a wonderful place was attenuated, reduced and flattened. It’s like reading a social studies textbook from the seventh grade. There’s so much vibrancy in the country, and this is unnecessarily vanilla. And there aren’t a lot of people here.”

Trump accuser's case is becoming Todd Blanche's confirmation nightmare: report

A legal battle over one Jeffrey Epstein accuser's unreleased FBI interview notes has emerged as a flashpoint threatening to complicate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's path to confirmation, as a federal judge presses the Justice Department for answers it has so far declined to give.The woman, known in court filings as Jane Doe 4, alleged in four 2019 FBI interviews that she was abused by Epstein in the 1980s and separately assaulted by Donald Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old, and a federal judge has asked the Justice Department for answers about her case that have so far not been provided, reported The Guardian.The White House has dismissed the claims as "completely baseless," but the case has taken on outsized significance because Jane Doe 4 is among the only alleged Epstein victims to have directly accused the president — and because the Justice Department's handling of her file has become emblematic of broader concerns about its compliance with the Epstein Transparency Act.Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan last week ordered Blanche to produce unredacted versions of already-released files by July 2 or explain why he cannot, and he separately ordered the release of handwritten interview notes from Jane Doe 4's FBI sessions that have never been made public. The order came in a civil case brought by journalist Katie Phang, and late Friday the DOJ's third-ranking official, Stanley Woodward, gave notice he would join the case, a move one attorney involved called a sign that officials "really, really don't want these documents released."The case has drawn particular scrutiny because Blanche, Trump's former personal attorney, personally oversaw the document-review process, directing a team of 500 reviewers through several chaotic release waves that exposed victims' names and compromising photographs while quietly retracting other records without explanation.Critics argue that roughly 2.5 million additional documents deemed "duplicative" or legally protected were withheld without sufficient justification, despite a law that explicitly bars withholding records over embarrassment or political sensitivity.Only one outlet, South Carolina's Post and Courier, has reviewed the still-unreleased interview notes, reporting that they reference high school friends who might corroborate parts of Jane Doe 4's account but do not address her alleged encounter with Trump.A Jane Doe joined a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate in 2020 with allegations and biographical details that line up with the FBI interviews, but she later dropped her claims.The Guardian spoke to a family member who said Jane Doe 4 is “staying off the grid” and lives in fear of retaliation from the Trump administration, adding that she's "coping" with "chronic trauma" related to the Epstein saga "the best she can," and an attorney who represented her during the two FBI interviews said he never received follow-up calls from the agents or copies of their reports that are usually provided to defense counsel.That attorney asked the publication not to report his name or location to protect the alleged victim's identity.
