President Trump says he's surprised some Republicans "got duped" and are wasting time on what he calls the "Epstein hoax." Trump spoke to reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office, and was asked about contentious DOJ investigation into the late sex offender. The President again stood by Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying she only released what she thought is "credible" from the Epstein files.        Uncertainty about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's future is the cause of whiplash felt on Wall Street today. Initial reports that Trump's firing of Powell seemed imminent came out during morning trading, sparking a mini sell-off. But when Trump clarified that he had "no plans to fire Powell," the markets quickly rebounded, proving the old axiom that investors like certainty.        Severe weather is threatening millions from Chicago to Denver. Large areas of Illinois, Wisconsin and Colorado are under a slight risk of seeing severe storms. The biggest threat of storms will develop later this afternoon and evening.        A bill taking aim at fentanyl trafficking has been signed into law by President Trump. The president said illicit drugs have "decimated" American communities, and his administration has declared an all-at war against dealers and traffickers. The Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act classifies all fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs.        The risk of dementia and strokes may be lowered by popular weight loss drugs. New research published in JAMA Network suggests patients with Type Two diabetes and obesity who are taking semaglutide [[ sem-uh-gloo-tid ]] or tirzepatide [[ tir-zep-a-tide ]] showed a lower risk of developing certain diseases compared to those taking other medications. However, researchers acknowledged more clinical trials are needed to corroborate their initial findings.        Fans can now watch the first full trailer for "Stranger Things 5." The final season of the hit Netflix show will follow the aftermath of the villanous Vecna bringing the Upside Down to Hawkins. Netflix will release the show's final episodes in three parts.
