Trump to sign 'big beautiful bill' and #MeToo setback in Sean Combs' trial: Morning Rundown

Donald Trump's influence over Congress is proven with the passage of his megabill.

Donald Trump's influence over Congress is proven with the passage of his megabill. A military analysis contradicts Pete Hegseth's stated reason for halting a weapons shipment to Ukraine. And why some feel like the verdict in Sean Combs' trial is a setback for the #MeToo movement. 

Here’s what to know today.

President Donald Trump is expected today to sign the megabill containing many of his agenda priorities after the Republican-led House passed the legislation in a 218-214 vote, capping a tense 24 hours of negotiations and arm-twisting. The Fourth of July signing ceremony at the White House will include fireworks, sources said, and the possibility of a military plane flyover.

Trump applauded Republicans after the bill passed, writing on social media that the effort signaled a unified Republican Party. He continued celebrating yesterday evening at a rally in Iowa organized to mark Independence Day, telling his audience there was “no better birthday present for America” than this bill.
