Trump says ‘only bad people' want to keep ‘boring' Epstein case going
Speaking to reporters after disembarking Air Force One (15 July), the US president said he cannot comprehend 'what the interest or what the fascination is', adding that 'all the credible information has been given'.
He said: 'I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff.'
Mr Trump added: 'I think, really, only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.'
Trump's comments come after the White House declared that no Epstein client list exists and ruled his death a suicide.

World 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson arrested on alleged domestic violence charge
Reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was charged on Sunday with fourth degree domestic violence, according to the police report obtained by The Associated Press (AP). On Thursday, she ran in the opening round the women's 100m at US track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon, before withdrawing from the semi-finals. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment by AP. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The report said Richardson was detained on Sunday 27 July and released the following day. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100m at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and took silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100m relay team to an Olympic gold.

Kim Zolciak admits she used daughter's modeling earnings to pay bills out of desperation
Kim Zolciak admitted to stealing her daughter Ariana Biermann's money on Thursday — and the model watched her mom's confession from the front row of a live audience. The 47-year-old appeared on Watch What Happens Live, where she told host Andy Cohen that she spent all of her daughter's modeling income from her teen years - but she insisted that she only used it to pay bills out of desperation amid her home foreclosure drama and her ugly divorce from her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 39. Elsewhere in the interview, the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star revealed that she had moved on with a new man after splitting from the ex-NFL player, though she kept his identity a secret. While speaking of turning to her children for financial supporting, Kim claimed that 'the rug was pulled out from the Zolciaks.' She said: 'I was left holding the bag for the family, and yeah. . . ' Zolciak also confirmed that it wasn't just 23-year-old Ariana's money that went to paying for necessities, as her daughter Brielle, 28, also pitched in money 'for the bills and stuff,' though it sounded as if she at least had the option to consent to giving up her money. Ariana previously claimed on her reality series Next Gen NYC that her mother and stepfather didn't tell her that they had used all of the money she had earned from modeling gigs and influencer jobs. However, Zolciak appeared to have worked things out with her daughter, as Ariana didn't look overly angry with her mother during the segment, and she beamed widely when Zolciak and Cohen talked about more upbeat topics. The reality TV star added that she had already repaid Ariana's money that had gone toward bills, and she suggested that she had 'spreadsheets' of what her daughter had made over the years to balance further down the road. But Cohen didn't buy that Zolciak had done full due diligence on her debts to her second-oldest daughter. He quipped: 'I don't imagine you have any spreadsheets.' Zolciak admitted: 'I don't have — I don't even know how to do it!' She was more animated during her appearance when the reality star admitted she was seeing a new man after splitting from Biermann. Kim said: 'He's just great. You know, I sat in the house and just worked and tried to take care of everything for 20 months, and then I finally met somebody great.' She didn't reveal her new man's identity, but she did say that a mutual friend had introduced them. Kim also indicated that things were tense with her estranged husband, though the pressure seemed to have gone down a bit after she had moved out of their mansion outside of Atlanta into her own home. She said: 'I would definitely prefer to communicate more regarding the children, but it's just not there right now.' The exes share four minor children: Kroy 'KJ' Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and fraternal twins Kane and Kaia, 11. Kim's adult daughters, Brielle and Ariana, both come from previous relationships.
