WASHINGTON (AP) — What began as a campaign-trail promise to release the Jeffrey Epstein files has become one of the most fraught tests of President Donald Trump’s second term — opening a rift in his political coalition and raising the stakes for an administration now under intense pressure to produce documents that may fall far short of public expectations.The issue came to a head this week. After months of efforts by the Trump administration to quash it, both chambers of Congress passed a measure forcing the release of the Epstein files with near-anonymous support. Trump, who changed course days before…

After a volatile week on Wall Street, CNBC’s Jim Cramer picked out three stocks with high dividends — Enbridge, Pfizer and Realty Income — and explained why thinks they’re fairly reliable.”There are a lot of high yielders that are dangerous — their yields soar because investors don’t believe the company can keep covering the cost of the dividend,” Cramer said. “But these three are not like that, and I regard them as very, very safe.”As an oil pipeline, not an oil producer, Enbridge is more levered to the volume of the commodities, not the cost, Cramer pointed out. More oil…

It was, perhaps, the warmest reception by Donald Trump yet for a political figure diametrically opposed to his policies. The US president has called New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani a “communist,” a “jihadist”, and a “Jew-hater”.  Mamdani has called Trump a “despot” and a “fascist”.  But at their highly anticipated meeting at the White House on Friday, Trump lavished unexpected praise on Mamdani after their first-ever face-to-face discussion, which lasted some 40 minutes. “I’ll be cheering for him,” Trump told reporters gathered around his desk, where he sat with Mamdani standing to his right.  “Some of my views have…
