Furthermore, overall approval ratings remain low, with other polls like YouGov/Economist and Echelon Insights showing similar levels of disapproval, and a Reuters/Ipsos survey indicating a three-point drop since the last poll.

During a court session regarding the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala expressed confusion over two conflicting versions of the indictment. Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal lawyer, stated she had only seen and signed the two-count indictment, not the one with three counts that was presented to the judge.
