Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi again shuttled messages between rooms. White House envoy Steve Witkoff met Iran’s Abbas Araghchi at the Omani ambassador’s residence.

Le Pen said she will not campaign if forced to wear a tracker. She framed it as political humiliation, not public safety. Party president Jordan Bardella, 30, is her heir apparent.

The former secretary of state sat for a deposition that ran more than six hours. She said she does not recall ever meeting Epstein. Clinton also said she had no reason to suspect his trafficking operation. The interview was part of a Republican-led House Oversight inquiry. Chair James Comer said the committee is mapping who knew what and when. Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify next, also under subpoena. Lawyers for the Clintons called the process political theater and distraction. Republicans argue the paper trail matters as Epstein’s network resurfaces in court fights. Even denials become data when Washington is collecting receipts.

🏥 Walz pitches fraud crackdown after Medicaid money threat. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz rolled out an anti-fraud package under pressure. The move followed Vice President JD Vance’s threat to pause Medicaid money. Vance’s office said $259.5M in reimbursements is being withheld. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz backed the freeze. Walz said the state will not let scammers define a safety net. His plan tightens oversight, expands audits, and adds fraud investigators. It also calls for a centralized inspector general office in state government. Minnesota has become a national symbol after the Feeding Our Future case. Prosecutors have charged 78 defendants and won 57 convictions in that scheme. About 1.2M Minnesotans use Medicaid, so the stakes are immediate.
