President Donald Trump visited Scotland this week, drawing crowds reported by supporters as enthusiastic, while domestic political news included discussions surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition and potential legislative actions in Missouri. Supporters claimed President Trump was warmly received in Scotland, with one social media post stating people "lined up EVERYWHERE to watch President Trump’s motorcade" and refuting claims of a lack of interest. Meanwhile, House Oversight Chairman James Comer stated this week that he does not believe "many Republicans want to give immunity to someone that may have been sex trafficking children," in response to questions about Maxwell's deposition. Separately, Ghislaine Maxwell was reportedly granted limited immunity to speak with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, described as standard procedure for a "proffer" or "queen for a day" session, according to ABC. This type of immunity allows a witness to provide information without fear of it being used against them, except for charges related to lying during the interview, as Maxwell has a pending appeal of her conviction. In other domestic news, the Missouri Freedom Caucus has urged Governor Mike Kehoe to call an extraordinary legislative session to redraw congressional lines. Additionally, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a statement emphasizing the imperative to "surge humanitarian aid into Gaza immediately." Further political developments include New Jersey GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli featuring a page on his website titled “Blacks Back Jack.” In national polling, a July 21-22 Emerson poll projected Vance leading AOC 44% to 41% in a hypothetical 2028 presidential election. RFK Jr. is reportedly considering the dismissal of all members of an advisory committee that provides guidance on preventive health services, such as cancer screenings and HIV prevention medications, according to two individuals familiar with the plan.
