President Donald Trump attended the 2025 Ryder Cup in Bethpage, New York, on September 26th, 2025, arriving during the reporting window between 4:07 PM and 4:36 PM UTC, amidst the House Oversight Committee Democrats' release of new documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. Chants of "USA! USA! USA!" and "DONALD TRUMP!" were heard as the President and his granddaughter Kai arrived at the event. The House Oversight Committee Democrats announced the release of six pages of documents detailing Epstein's daily schedule, which they claim show scheduled meetings with Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel, and a potential visit by Elon Musk to Epstein's island. According to a statement posted on X by @GOPoversight, Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein's jet, and the committee is urging the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. This development occurred as President Trump was en route to the Ryder Cup, having stated his desire to "try and help" the team, according to Margo Martin. The committee's release of the Epstein documents was criticized by @GOPoversight as "old news" and a political tactic by Democrats, who vowed to release more documents soon. In other news, Tennessee's governor announced that more federal agents will assist city police in fighting crime in Memphis starting next week, as reported by the Associated Press. Separately, a statement from Representative Josh Guzy on X urged the U.S. to stand firm against Iranian aggression, citing an article from The Jerusalem Post. Previous reports from earlier on September 26th, 2025, indicated that House Republican leadership was considering not returning to session the following week due to the government funding deadline, placing the onus on the U.S. Senate. Additionally, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed redistricting plan a "scam."
