Rather than comply with the judge's order and an existing Epstein transparency law, the DOJ chose to continue litigation to keep information sealed.

• Trump EPA proposes rule to exempt datacenters from public air pollution disclosure — The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule that would eliminate the Clean Air Act requirement for datacenters to publicly disclose air pollution emissions. The rule would make disclosure voluntary at state and local officials' discretion rather than mandatory. Datacenters are significant sources of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals. Environmental advocates warn the change will reduce public oversight, prevent communities from knowing what pollutants they will breathe, and weaken enforcement of federal pollution limits linked to asthma, heart disease, and cancer.
• EPA approves two toxic datacenter chemicals despite acknowledged health risks — The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency approved two photoacid generator compounds for import and immediate use in U.S. datacenters, despite acknowledging in consent orders that the chemicals may present "unreasonable risk" to workers and the public and could cause sudden death, cancer, neurological damage, and reproductive harm. The EPA admitted insufficient data to quantify acute toxicity and lethality risks but approved the chemicals anyway with minimal restrictions, prompting a lawsuit by Earthjustice arguing the approval violates the Toxic Substances Control Act.

• Trump disclosed 1,051 financial transactions in June — CNBC reported that Trump disclosed 1,051 financial transactions for the month of June in what appears to be a broad reshuffling of his portfolio. The president rotated in and out of stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds throughout the month. The transactions totaled between $78-263 million, with securities purchases topping $49 million and sales totaling at least $28.5 million. The filing provides only a window into Trump's investment moves and does not give a clear picture of his total portfolio holdings, as amounts bought or sold are not specific and there is no indication of how much Trump owns of any particular security.
