CNN is facing criticism after airing claims that egg prices have increased under President Donald Trump—a narrative that contradicts the official numbers. Since President Trump assumed office in January 2025, egg prices have dropped by more than 50 percent, from $6.55 per dozen to $2.89.
At a time when grocery prices continue to strain household budgets, two Chicago churches have joined forces to distribute 40,000 eggs to the community.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated an antitrust investigation into the sharp increase in egg prices, examining whether major producers have conspired to inflate prices or restrict supply.
