House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer told Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys the panel is willing to delay her subpoenaed deposition until after the Supreme Court rules on an appeal she has filed, a decision expected in late September.
Maxwell's legal team had warned she would invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination unless certain conditions were met, including congressional immunity, conducting the deposition outside her prison, receiving advance questions, and waiting for the appeal's conclusion.
Comer said Maxwell's testimony remains "vital" to the committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation but ruled out granting immunity or providing questions in advance. He added the panel is "willing to engage in good faith negotiations" and will continue its practice of holding detailed discussions about the scope of testimony.

Donald Trump Disapproval Rating Hits New 2025 High
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Donald Trump's disapproval rating has climbed to its highest level of the year, according to newly released polling data. The latest ActiVote poll, conducted between July 1 and 31 among 454 respondents, put Trump's disapproval rating at 52.1 percent, up from 51.5 percent last month. Meanwhile, his approval rating has remained at 44.5 percent. Why It Matters Voters have in particular raised concerns about the administration's handling of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case, as well as Trump's tariffs policies and his impact on the economy more broadly.

Jacquelyn Martin/AP What To Know The latest data marks a stark reversal from earlier in the year, when Trump held a net positive approval rating. In January, 52 percent of Americans approved of his performance, while 46 percent disapproved—a net approval of +6. But that lead evaporated by March, and his numbers have since trended steadily downward. By April, Trump's disapproval rating had begun to consistently outpace approval, with 45 percent approving and 51 percent disapproving. After a brief improvement in May, his net approval dropped to -7 in both June and July. Despite the decline, July's numbers remain higher than Trump's average approval rating during his first term (41 percent), and also above President Biden's full-term average (41 percent) and his final-year rating (40 percent). Trump also maintains a net positive rating among rural voters, men, older Americans (50-plus), Republicans, white voters, and those with lower incomes, all of whom were crucial to his victory in 2024. Meanwhile, the politically crucial centrist group shifted back into net positive territory for Trump in July, giving him a +4 approval rating, up from -6 last month. However, approval within his own base has slipped: support among the moderate right and right dropped to 82 percent, down 4 points from June. Epstein Scandal Rekindles Public Scrutiny The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to cast a shadow over Trump and his administration. Polls have shown that a bipartisan majority of voters, including MAGA supporters, now believe that the government should release all files related to Epstein, with many suspecting a cover-up. Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide in jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. There is no evidence that Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes. Trump has acknowledged knowing the man in the 1990s and early 2000s but maintains that he cut ties with him well before Epstein's 2006 arrest. A recent Wall Street Journal report uncovered a 2003 birthday card Trump allegedly sent to Epstein. The card included a drawing of a naked woman and the message: "We have certain things in common … may every day be another wonderful secret." The discontent intensified when a Justice Department memo last month confirmed Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and that the government does not possess a "client list"—directly contradicting conspiracy theories promoted by some Trump-aligned figures. Trump reportedly lashed out at his own supporters, calling them "weaklings" for being "duped" by what he called a "hoax" pushed by Democrats. He later walked back the comments and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process of unsealing grand jury materials related to Epstein. Economic Worries Add To Pressure Economic concerns are also causing a headache for the Trump administration, with multiple recent polls showing a downward trend in the president's approval rating on his handling of the economy and inflation. Inflation rose to 2.7 percent in June, and job growth slowed sharply in July, with just 73,000 new jobs added—down from 147,000 the previous month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.2 percent, though it remains near historic lows. Amid those concerns, other polls have also shown Trump's approval rating sliding to lows. The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that Trump's approval rating had dropped to 40 percent, with 56 percent disapproving, giving him a net approval rating of -16 points. The latest YouGov/Economist poll also showed Trump's approval rating at its lowest level yet, with 40 percent approving and 55 percent disapproving. And a new Zogby Strategies poll also showed Trump's overall approval rating had slipped to an all-time low, with just 43 percent of voters approving of his performance, while 54 percent disapproved, marking a net approval rating of -11 points. That is down from -8 net approval in June and -1 in May. Poll Date Approve Disapprove ActiVote July 1-31 45 52 RMG Research July 23-31 50 48 John Zogby Strategies July 28-29 43 54 YouGov/Economist July 25-28 40 55 Ipsos/Reuters July 25-27 40 56 Morning Consult July 25-27 47 50 McLaughlin and Associates July 21-24 47 54 Quantus Insights July 21-23 47 50 Emerson College July 21-22 46 47 Trafalgar Group/Insider Advantage July 22-23 50 48 But other polls show slight improvements: Morning Consult has Trump at 47 percent approval, with net approval rising to -3 from -7. Newsweek's poll tracker shows a similar uptick, with his net approval at -5 (46 percent approve; 51 percent disapprove), up from -7 yesterday and -10 last week. What Happens Next Trump's approval rating will continue to fluctuate throughout his term in office as he implements his policy agenda. Whether it falls enough to impact the Republican Party in the November 2026 midterms remains to be seen.

Real Reason Behind Birth Rate Decline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Countries all over the world are facing declining birth rates, sparking fears there will one day be more elderly people than working-age people to support them. For example, in the United States, the fertility rate (the average number of children a woman has in her lifetime) is now projected to average 1.6 births per woman over the next three decades, according to the Congressional Budget Office's latest forecast released this year. That is below the replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman required to maintain a stable population without immigration. Financial struggles are often cited as the reason for people having fewer or no children, but recent research has focused on cultural changes. Newsweek has pulled together the main reasons birth rates are declining to build a detailed picture of the issue many governments are trying to tackle. The Real Reason Behind The Birth Rate Decline The Real Reason Behind The Birth Rate Decline Newsweek Illustration/Canva/Getty Financial Worries The 2008 financial crisis and its impact on housing, inflation and pay is generally cited a major contributor to people's decisions to delay having children, to have fewer children or not to have them at all. In June, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) found that 39 percent of the 14,000 people across the 14 countries it surveyed said financial limitations prevented them from having their desired family size. "Young people overwhelmingly report worries and uncertainty about their futures. Many expect to experience worse outcomes than their parents did," the report said. "Their concerns about climate change, economic instability and rising global conflicts will be reflected in the choices they make about raising families." U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has taken steps to try to tackle the concerns, including the White House exploring giving women a "baby bonus" of $5,000, according to an April report in The New York Times. The country could also make childbirth free for privately insured families, with the bipartisan Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act, which would designate maternity care as an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act, which was introduced in the Senate in May. Family Policies Policies around child care and parental leave come up just as often as financial struggles—and the two are often connected. "Countries that have sustained or moderately increased birth rates—like France or the Nordic nations—have done so by investing in affordable child care, paid parental leave, gender-equal workplaces and housing support," said Poonam Muttreja, executive director of the Population Foundation of India. "These create an enabling environment where people feel secure in having children," she told Newsweek. "Fertility decisions are shaped by long-term confidence, not one-off cash handouts." Similarly, Theodore Cosco, a research fellow at The Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, told Newsweek that "addressing declining birth rates would require comprehensive support mechanisms, such as affordable child care, paid parental leave, health care access and economic stability." Gender Inequality Another linked aspect to this is gender inequality—a cause often stressed by Muttreja. While speaking about the situation in India, where the fertility rate is 1.9, according to World Bank data, she called gender inequality a "critical challenge." "No country has become economically advanced without a substantial participation from women in the economy," she previously told Newsweek. "The burden of caregiving, whether for children or elderly family members, falls disproportionately on women, and policies must enable women to balance work and caregiving effectively." Tomas Sobotka, deputy director of the Vienna Institute of Demography, told Newsweek: "Recent research emphasizes that fertility tends to be higher where gender equality is stronger, and where institutional support helps reduce the cost and complexity of raising children." He cited France and Sweden as examples. While their fertility rates have still plummeted in the past decade (1.66 and 1.45, respectively, according to World Bank data), they are higher than the European Union (1.38). This is "partly thanks to generous family policies with affordable child care, well-paid parental leaves and generous financial benefits to families," he said. "These, together with high levels of gender equality, make it easier especially for the better educated women and couples to achieve the number of children they planned." Cultural Shifts Another major, albeit more difficult to measure, contributor is a shift in cultural values. A new study conducted by academics affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) published last month found that "short-term changes in income or prices cannot explain the widespread decline" in fertility but rather there has been a "broad reordering of adult priorities with parenthood occupying a diminished role." Authors Melissa Schettini Kearney, an economist from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, and Phillip B. Levine, an economist from Wellesley College in Massachusetts, found there have been "changes in how much value people place on different life choices, generally reflecting a greater emphasis on personal fulfillment and career." These include the fact that most women in high-income countries now work, while it was previously "reasonable to consider having children as a widespread priority for women." But they do not attribute this to "whether women work at all after they are married or have had their first child" but rather "the tension between a lifetime career and the way motherhood interrupts or alters that lifetime career progression." Kearney and Levine also spoke about changes in preferences in general, citing several surveys they reviewed that showed that more people say having a career they enjoy and close friends is extremely or very important than those who say the same about having children. They also mentioned changes in parenting expectations, with it becoming "more resource- and time-intensive" than before, a reduction in marriages, access to effective contraception, abortion policies, fertility and infertility treatments. These reasons became clear when Newsweek looked at Norway, which is considered a global leader in parental leave and child care policies, with the United Nations International Children's Fund (UNICEF) ranking it among the top countries for family-friendly policies. Norway offers parents 12 months of shared paid leave for birth and an additional year each afterward. It also made kindergarten (similar to a U.S. day care) a statutory right for all children age 1 or older in 2008. Yet, Norway's fertility rate has dropped drastically from 1.98 in 2009 to 1.44 in 2024, according to official figures. The rate for 2023 (1.40) was the lowest recorded fertility rate in the country. Newsweek spoke with several local experts about Norway and all cited recent cultural changes, including lower rates of couple formation for those in their 20s, young adults being more likely to live alone and the demands of modern parenting. What Is The Solution? "The short answer is that there are no easy fixes," Kearney and Levine said in their report. "There is no single policy lever that will reliably boost fertility." Kearney and Levine's main call to action is to "widen our lens" when discussing fertility. "There is still so much more we need to know before we can provide something resembling a definitive answer," they said. "Policies like parental leave, child care subsidies, baby bonuses, etc., are much easier to implement and have the potential to affect fertility more rapidly, if they were effective," Levine told Newsweek. "Changing the social conditions that encourage family formation is more difficult and takes longer to accomplish.

Inside the Biden cover-up probe: 8 aides questioned, more on the way
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is investigating whether former President Joe Biden's closest aides worked to conceal evidence of mental decline in the octogenarian Democrat during his White House term, and whether an autopen was used for executive decisions without his knowledge. Biden himself asserted to the New York Times that he "made every decision" regarding autopen pardons specifically, and his allies have dismissed the GOP-led probe as a partisan show. Several ex-senior White House officials are due in the coming weeks, including former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and ex-White House chief of staff Jeff Zeints. But Comer's staff have also met with a number of people so far – some who have said very little, while others have given no information at all. Below are the eight people who have sat down with House investigators so far: Former White House staff secretary Neera Tanden appeared for a voluntary interview on June 24. A source familiar with Tanden's interview said she described having "minimal interaction" with Biden during her sit-down with investigators. Tanden also said she would submit requests for autopen signatures to members of Biden's team, but was not aware of what actions or approvals occurred between the time she sent the memo and the time she received it back with the president's approval, the source said. Tanden's lawyer told Fox News at the time that she "consistently followed a protocol" that was used by both Republican and Democratic administrations in the past. "That same protocol existed in the Clinton and Obama administrations, which Ms. Tanden learned in discussions with previous staff secretaries from those administrations. She further understood and believed that the same process was followed in the Trump 1 and Bush administrations," the lawyer said. Tanden had been tapped to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) early in Biden's term, but she withdrew after bipartisan pushback in the Senate. Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor was the second ex-Biden administration official to appear when he came in on July 9, and the first to appear under subpoena. Before serving as White House doctor, however, O'Connor was known to be a close associate of the Biden family for years. Investigators were hoping to learn whether O'Connor knowingly obscured signs of advanced aging or loss of mental acuity in Biden. He notably met with a Parkinson's Disease expert at the White House at one point, according to the New York Times – though the revelations were downplayed by the White House at the time. O'Connor's lawyers had attempted to delay his scheduled deposition date over concerns that the scope of the committee's investigation would violate doctor-patient confidentiality. He ultimately did appear when Comer rejected his delay request, but O'Connor was in and out of the committee room in less than an hour after pleading the Fifth Amendment to all questions, save for his name. Ashley Williams is a longtime Biden advisor who still works for the former president, according to her LinkedIn. She appeared for a voluntary transcribed interview on July 11. The close Biden ally's time with him goes back to assisting then-second lady Jill Biden during the Obama administration, according to a 2019 profile of Biden staffers. She served as his trip director for the 2020 campaign before being hired to the White House as deputy director of Oval Office Operations and a special assistant to the president. Williams repeatedly told committee staff during her sit-down that she did not "recall" various things "an untold number of times," but that she believed Biden was fit to be president today, a source told Fox News Digital. "Examples include she could not recall if she spoke with President Biden in the last week, if teleprompters were used for Cabinet meetings, if there were discussions about President Biden using a wheelchair, if there were discussions about a cognitive test, if she discussed a mental or physical decline of President Biden, if she ever had to wake President Biden up and how she got involved with his 2020 campaign," the source said. Anthony Bernal, who was nicknamed Jill Biden's "work husband" for their close relationship, was the second person subpoenaed to appear. Like O'Connor, Bernal's July 16 deposition lasted less than an hour after he pleaded the Fifth Amendment to investigators. Bernal served as former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady. He also still appears to work for the Bidens, according to LinkedIn, which says he works for Jill Biden specifically. "During his deposition today, Mr. Bernal pleaded the Fifth when asked if any unelected official or family members executed the duties of the President and if Joe Biden ever instructed him to lie about his health," Comer said in a statement after Bernal's deposition. Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Annie Tomasini had been scheduled to appear for a transcribed interview, before her counsel requested a subpoena from Comer shortly before her July 18 appearance. Tomasini followed O'Connor and Bernal's lead in pleading the Fifth Amendment, which people coming in voluntarily cannot do. "During her deposition today, Ms. Tomasini pleaded the Fifth when asked if Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time," Comer said in a statement after her deposition. "She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden's home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family's 'business' dealings." She first worked for Biden as a press secretary when he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a U.S. senator from Delaware. Ron Klain served as Biden's chief of staff for the first two years of his White House term and played a key role in preparing him for his disastrous 2024 presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. Klain told investigators that he believed Biden's memory got worse over time, but he still had the ability to govern, a source familiar with his interview told Fox News Digital. The source said Klain also claimed to have heard concerns about Biden's political viability from both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden's own national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, by 2024, though it's not clear if those concerns are tied to his mental acuity nor that they spoke to Klain together. A spokesperson for Sullivan vehemently denied the account. Klain also told investigators that Biden appeared tired and ill before the 2024 debate, the source said. In a letter requesting his appearance, Comer quoted Klain as cutting Biden's debate prep short last year, "due to the president's fatigue and lack of familiarity with the subject matter," adding that Biden "didn't really understand what his argument was on inflation," citing a POLITICO report from earlier this year. Former counselor to the president Steve Ricchetti sat down with House investigators earlier this week on voluntary terms. Unlike the vast majority of others before him, who did not acknowledge media gathered outside the committee room, Ricchetti told Fox News' Chad Pergram that "of course" Biden was up to the job of president. Ricchetti's interview was also the longest by far – running roughly eight hours on Wednesday. A source familiar with Ricchetti's sitdown described him as "combative and defensive" during exchanges with House Oversight staff. Ricchetti asserted he had personal relationships with Jill Biden and Hunter Biden in addition to the former president, the source said. His own family had relationships with the Biden administration as well – three of his four children worked in the Treasury, State Department and in the White House. The longtime Democratic operative and lobbyist was one of two longtime trusted aides reportedly with Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, when he drafted his bombshell letter announcing he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Former senior advisor to the president Mike Donilon is the latest member of Biden's inner circle to appear before House investigators, sitting down with them voluntarily on Thursday for roughly five hours. Donilon first began working for Biden in 1981 as a pollster when Biden was the junior U.S. senator from Delaware. Alongside Ricchetti, he was one of two Biden aides who were present when he drafted his announcement dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Donilon told investigators he received $4 million to work for Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and would have gotten $4 million more if Biden had won, a source told Fox News Digital. He staunchly defended Biden during his interview, the source said, accusing Democrats of overreacting in the wake of Biden's debate. Donilon told investigators Biden is "a leader who was deeply engaged and in command on critical issues," according to his opening statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "Every president ages over the four years of a presidency and President Biden did as well, but he also continued to grow stronger and wiser as a leader as a result of being tested by some of the most difficult challenges any president has ever faced," Donilon said.
