Good morning. It’s Wednesday, July 2.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering after a closely followed high-profile federal trial in New York City.

He was convicted on two lesser prostitution charges.

The split verdict was read on Wednesday, July 2.

 
 

Paramount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay President Trump a sum that could reach north of $30 million to settle the president’s election interference lawsuit against the network.

Trump will receive $16 million up front. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion.

There is an anticipation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network in the future, Fox News Digital has learned.

President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is already facing pushback from Republicans in the House—just hours after Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to pass it in the Senate, WSJ reported.

Enough Republicans have said they’ll vote “no” to block the bill in the House, unless Trump and GOP leaders can flip some holdouts at the last minute. Since the vote will be close, only three House Republicans joining Democrats would be enough to stop it.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said right after the Senate vote that he would not support sending the bill forward in the House Rules Committee. He also said he would vote against it on the House floor.

A federal judge shot down the Trump administration’s efforts to end temporary protection status (TPS) for over 520,000 Haitian immigrants currently living in the U.S.

The TPS designations for Haitians were expected to expire on Aug. 3 with termination to become effective on Sept. 2.

U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn rejected those plans on Tuesday, saying Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem did not follow a timeline and instructions mandated by Congress to reconsider TPS designations for Haitians.

Business tycoon Elon Musk indicated that he will donate to Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

Massie, a fiscal hawk who was one of the two House Republicans who voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that cleared the House of Representatives in May, also labeled President Donald Trump’s strikes against Iran last month as “not Constitutional.”

“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” Musk declared in a post on X.

Donald Trump has a line he likes to use on Lara Trump.

She’s the only person he knows who has twice had the chance to be a senator, and has twice passed it up, according to her own telling of the story.

Now she has a third opportunity.

Hiring in the private sector contracted in June, marking the first decline since March 2023, which suggests the U.S. labor market’s softness may be accelerating.

According to payroll processor ADP’s National Employment Report, private sector payrolls fell by 33,000 last month, down from May’s downwardly revised 29,000 position.

Economists had anticipated that private sector employment would have increased by 95,000.
