Trump renews Fort Knox audit push after FBI seizes 303 gold bars worth ~$40M
Donald Trump said over the weekend that it is "time to physically audit Fort Knox," linking the demand to the FBI case involving former CIA official David Rush and gold bars valued at about $40 million. Federal agents said they seized 303 gold bars around May 27, 2026, alongside about $2 million in foreign currency and 35 luxury watches. Treasury data lists Fort Knox holdings at 147,341,858 fine troy ounces as of April 30, 2026, while no full independent physical audit has been conducted since 1953.

Oklahoma’s State Question 832 heads to June 16 vote on phased minimum-wage hikes
Oklahoma voters will decide State Question 832 in a special election on June 16, alongside the state’s primary contests for federal, state and local offices. The measure would lift the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $12 in 2027, $13.50 in 2028 and $15 in 2029, then apply annual cost-of-living adjustments. The proposal has split business organizations and wage-raise advocates, and observers say the result could signal how voters view inflation and the broader economy.
