In today's episode of India Ascends, President Donald Trump's Justice Department faces a Friday deadline to release a massive trove of documents from its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after Congress overwhelmingly approved a new law forcing their disclosure last month. Meanwhile, Donald Trump said Tuesday he stood by his chief of staff Susie Wiles after she said the US president had an "alcoholic's personality" in an astonishing interview with Vanity Fair. Wiles also called Vice President JD Vance a "conspiracy theorist," branded tech tycoon Elon Musk an "odd, odd duck," and gave juicy opinions on other Trump administration figures in the lengthy piece.
