Musk tweeted Thursday night: 'The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens - this is their standard (despicable) playbook - but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.' He then finally tweeted a denial in response to Cucumber Capital CEO Tara Bull: 'And, for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue.' He also attacked the credibility of the alleged victim's friend, tweeting that she 'is a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.' The man currently trying to buy Twitter has recently...

Hillary Clinton defended her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, saying there was no way to know that he was an alleged serial sex predator at the time. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the former secretary of state was asked whether she regretted her ties to the disgraced filmmaker, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 80 women. “How could we have known? He raised money for me, for the Obamas, for Democrats in general,” Clinton said in the interview published Tuesday. “And that at the time was something that everybody thought made sense. And of course,...

An Arkansas woman who filed a paternity lawsuit against Joe Biden’s son Hunter claimed in court documents that Hunter “verbally admitted” to her that he is the father of her 1-year-old child. Lunden Roberts, 28, first filed the petition for paternity and support against 49-year-old Hunter in May. She has refused to comment publicly about the matter but said in court filings that Hunter acknowledged paternity of the child, according to the Daily Mail. In a motion for DNA testing filed in Independence County Circuit Court, through her lawyer Roberts alleged that “[Hunter] has verbally admitted to the plaintiff that...

The cover story New York published today details an encounter the writer E. Jean Carroll had over two decades ago with Donald J. Trump, in which the then–real-estate mogul allegedly assaulted her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in midtown Manhattan. The episode is one of six incidents Carroll details in the article of attacks on her by men over the course of her life. Another episode involves the disgraced former CEO of CBS, Les Moonves. The cover story is an excerpt from her newest book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, which...

Famed advice columnist E. Jean Carroll claims that now-President Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the mid-90s, it was revealed. Carroll told New York Magazine the real estate tycoon approached her in Bergdorf Goodman and started a friendly chat. Trump allegedly called the popular columnist “that advice lady” and asked her to help him pick out lingerie. They eventually went into a dressing room together, where Carroll claims Trump shoved her against a wall and pulled down her tights. She then claims Trump was “forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway...

A lawsuit by adult film star Stormy Daniels against President Donald Trump over a non-disparagement agreement has been tossed out of federal court. US District Judge James Otero says the suit, which sought to invalidate the $130,000 agreement that kept Daniels from speaking publicly about her allegations of an affair with Trump ahead of the 2016 election, should be sent back to California Superior Court. In his ruling, Otero says the suit "lacks subject matter jurisdiction." By remanding the case back to where it was first filed, Otero made it clear the case is over.

A staffer on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign says he kissed her without her consent at a small gathering of supporters before a Florida rally, an interaction that she alleges in a new lawsuit still causes her anguish. In interviews with The Washington Post, and in the lawsuit, Alva Johnson said Trump grabbed her hand and leaned in to kiss her on the lips as he exited an RV outside the rally in Tampa on Aug. 24, 2016. Johnson said she turned her head and the unwanted kiss landed on the side of her mouth, which she called “super-creepy and...

By now, those of you following the Democratic clown car derby for the 2020 nomination have probably heard about former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown’s admission that he had “dated” Senator Kamala Harris some years ago and “may have” helped advance her career. Aside from the fact that he was married at the time, this probably doesn’t come as a shock to most of you, nor does it sound like a particularly unique story. Such things happen all the time. But even if it didn’t strike me as a particularly newsworthy headline in the larger scheme of things, I...

Case in point: The FEC hit Barack Obama's 2008 campaign with, according to The Washington Post, "among the largest penalties in the agency’s history" when it levied a $375,000 fine for failing "to disclose the identities of donors responsible for $2 million in contributions" and misreporting "the dates of $85 million in other contributions." The Obama people "kept $1.3 million in contributions that were above the legal maximum allowed for a federal campaign, failing to return them within the 60 days required by law. The campaign kept almost $874,000 of those donations until the FEC discovered they were unlawful." Doing...

A convicted felon who has claimed that he had gay sex with President Barack Obama is running to become mayor of a Florida town. Larry Sinclair gave a speech at the National Press Club in 2008, while Obama was running for President, alleging that the then-Senator bought and smoked cocaine and had sex with him in 1999.  Sinclair, who has served prison time in Arizona, Florida and Colorado for forgery, fraud and larceny, is now campaigning to win the mayor’s seat in Cocoa, a town of around 19,000 people, in the November 6 election. The South Carolina native has...

Special counsel Robert Mueller has referred to the FBI allegations that women were "offered money" to make "false claims" about him, a spokesman said Tuesday. Spokesman Peter Carr released this statement to CNBC: When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation.

Hillary Clinton doesn't believe former President Bill Clinton's 1990s extramarital affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky constituted an abuse of power. "No. No," Hillary Clinton said during an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" when asked directly whether her husband took advantage of his position in 1995 to instigate sexual relations with Lewinsky when she was 22 years old.

CNN is still clinging to the notion that Deborah Ramirez's uncorroborated allegation that Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a drunken Yale party is not merely credible, but "certainly credible." On this morning's New Day, host Alisyn Camerota spoke of "these accusations against Brett Kavanaugh—not one, but certainly two credible ones." [snip] Let's review just how "certainly credible" was Ramirez's accusation:Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The battle for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as Justice on the Supreme Court has resulted in a great tragedy. Michael Avenatti's appearances on television are likely due to be sharply cut back. Why? Because liberals in the mainstream media are now placing the blame for the failure of the Democrats to derail the Kavanaugh confirmation squarely at the feet of Avenatti. One example was on MSNBC Live on Saturday as Kavanaugh was being confirmed. Charlie Savage of the New York Times claimed that Avenatti "did a huge favor to the Trump White House" by tossing wild charges into the mix. 

"As a sexual assault victim, I am disgusted and appalled by the way that I have been re-victimized over the last 2 weeks after I had the courage to come forward," Swetnick said in a statement released by Michael Avenatti, an anti-Trump attorney who represents her. "I had every right to come forward and I literally placed my life in jeopardy to do so."

Using evidence, witness testimony, and their own testimony (either written or before the Senate Judiciary Committee), Breitbart News has already unraveled the first two allegations launched against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. And as of now, the accusations put forth by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez have collapsed into a pile of lies, deceptions, and — most importantly — statements by the accusers’ own witnesses — all of whom back up Kavanaugh. This leaves only Julie Swetnick, the accuser represented by Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels made famous by far-left CNN. In a sworn statement...

During Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate testimony last week, Orrin Hatch asked the prospective Supreme Court justice, “When did you first hear of Ms. Ramirez’s allegations against you?” Kavanaugh replied, “In the last — in the period since then, the New Yorker story.” Hatch was referring to Deborah Ramirez’s charge that Kavanaugh humiliated her by waving his penis in her face while she was intoxicated. Kavanaugh appeared to be saying he heard of the charges after they appeared in The New Yorker in September. NBC reports that this, like many things Kavanaugh said in his testimony, is false. Kavanaugh’s friends gathered testimony...

What's gotten into Joe Scarborough? A modicum of fairness, we're tempted to say. Last week, Joe expressed surprising support for Republicans moving ahead on a Kavanaugh vote. This week, he said liberal media members accusing Kavanaugh of rape should have a (D) before their names. And now today, Joe expressed real skepticism about the claims of Julie Swetnick, the Michael Avenatti client: [snip] "Who would continually go to high school parties where women were being gang-raped--and first of all keep going to those parties--and secondly, not report that to some authorities, and third, not have somebody at all of those...
