A recent comparison of photographs has highlighted the similar gold-themed interior decorations in the Manhattan townhouse of the late Jeffrey Epstein and the Oval Office under President Trump.

The photo of Epstein's townhouse was taken by the FBI during a raid in 2019 and was later submitted as evidence in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate. Meanwhile, the Oval Office's gold decor was part of a renovation initiated by President Trump in March 2025, which was privately funded and completed by August 2025.

President Trump to Sign Executive Order Blocking State AI Laws Amid Bipartisan Pushback

President Trump to Sign Executive Order Blocking State AI Laws Amid Bipartisan Pushback

President Trump announced plans to sign an executive order that would prevent states from enacting their own AI regulations. This move comes after a failed attempt in the Senate to preempt state AI laws through a defense budget bill. The executive order aims to establish a unified national framework for AI regulation, arguing that state-level laws could create a fragmented regulatory environment that stifles innovation. Silicon Valley leaders, including OpenAI President Greg Brockman and AI czar David Sacks, support the order, citing the need for a consistent regulatory approach to maintain the U.S.'s competitive edge against China in AI development. The order would also establish an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state laws and direct federal agencies to evaluate and potentially override state regulations.
