One of President Donald Trump’s most persistent legal foes is going after the Epstein files. Norm Eisen—the former White House ethics chief under former President Barack Obama and a longtime critic of Trump—has filed a sweeping Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation hand over any files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that may reference the former president.

Morning Consult's latest global leader approval rating, based on data collected between July 4 and July 10, shows Trump's approval rating at 44 percent and his disapproval rating at 50 percent.

The president is visiting the country to meet with Scottish leaders and celebrate the opening of a golf course at Trump International Golf Links, which is near Scotland’s coastal city of Aberdeen.
