26.04.2025Farewell to the Pope as Virginia Giuffre Dies
Pope Francis's funeral dominated the morning news cycle, with extensive coverage of the ceremony attended by world leaders at St. Peter's Square. Trump met with Zelenskyy on the sidelines, described as a "productive discussion" - their first meeting since their Oval Office confrontation. Following the meeting, Trump questioned Putin's sincerity, suggesting the Russian leader might have been "tapping me along."

Overnight reports revealed Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein's prominent accuser who challenged Prince Andrew, died by suicide at 41. Her death received significant coverage throughout the day.

The administration's immigration enforcement continued generating controversy, with reports that three U.S. citizen children - including a 2-year-old and a child with cancer - were deported to Honduras. This follows previous days' deportation controversies and the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping an immigrant evade ICE.
