Trump Reverses ICE Pause | Vance Admits Epstein Comms Blunder | DST Debate Rages | 7/16/26

from The A.M. Update

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump reversing ICE's brief pause on vehicle stops just a day after it began, restoring one of the agency's main tools for deportations. He digs into Vice President JD Vance's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, where Vance admits the administration mishandled the rollout of the Epstein files and pushes back on Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier claims. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche takes a victory lap on fraud recoveries during his confirmation hearing, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms the nation's gold reserves at Fort Knox remain fully accounted for. Aaron also covers Helen Comperatore, widow of Butler rally victim Corey Comperatore, sharing her personal belief that the assassination attempt was an inside job, though no evidence has been publicly confirmed. He wraps up the week's Daylight Saving Time poll results and the uncertain fate of the Sunshine Protection Act in the Senate.
