Trump purges another Republican critic with Massie defeat in Kentucky • FRANCE 24 English

US President Donald Trump scored another victory in his campaign to punish disloyal Republicans on Tuesday ​as Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky lost his primary race, underscoring the risks for lawmakers who defy Trump. Massie, who angered Trump by leading a push to release Justice Department files tied to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and emerged as an outspoken critic of the war with Iran, was defeated by Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL backed by the president and bolstered by heavy spending by pro-Israel groups.
