The House will not vote on a resolution calling for the release of some documents related to Jeffrey Epstein before the August recess, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on Monday, despite growing GOP outcry over the Trump administration’s handling of the case. The news came after the House Rules Committee advanced the measure last week, and as the lower chamber prepares to break for the weeks-long August recess on Thursday. Asked if the House will vote on the resolution before leaving Washington, Johnson told reporters: “No.” The Speaker said he wants to leave time for the administration to act on...

In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn issued a fiery demand for immediate federal action, calling on the FBI to raid Barack Obama’s Washington, D.C., mansion as part of a long-overdue investigation into the criminal conspiracy behind the now-exploded Russia collusion hoax. Flynn, citing the same standard used to justify the unprecedented and disgraceful FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, demanded that Obama and his deep state cabal be treated the same way—raided, investigated, and prosecuted. Flynn says this should be just the first step: revoke passports for all involved in the...

The Trump administration released a huge batch of previously classified documents on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination on Monday as Americans clamor for information about Jeffrey Epstein. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was publishing 230,000 pages worth of documents relating to the civil rights leader's April 1968 assassination. The release was in accordance with Donald Trump's executive order earlier this year mandating the release of files on former President John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and MLK. The release comes as the Trump administration...

Conservative commentator Laura Loomer voiced her displeasure with the "weaponized narrative" she claims is surrounding the relationship of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, blaming the media and Democrats, as well as right-wing "grifters" like Tucker Carlson, who she said are using the ongoing story for their own enrichment. -snip- "Carlson said he hates Trump, and the only reason why he pretends to like Trump is because he's now a defendant and the majority of his audience is people who like Trump—even though he's rapidly pushing those people away because he's become Jew obsessed and he's being bankrolled by Muslims," she...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat who represents a slice of the Rio Grande Valley along the border with Mexico, won his last congressional election by just over 5,000 votes.That makes him a tempting target for Republicans, who are poised to redraw the state’s congressional maps this coming week and devise five new winnable seats for the GOP that would help the party avoid losing House control in the 2026 elections. Adjusting the lines of Gonzalez’s district to bring in a few thousand more Republican voters, while shifting some Democratic ones out, could flip his...

President Trump’s claim that some of the Epstein files are ‘made up’ by Democrats and the FBI makes a lot more sense now. When President Trump first started ranting, really out of nowhere, about the so-called “Epstein files” being “made up” by his Democrat predecessors, as well as former F.B.I. Director James Comey, it was bizarre and suspiciously defensive. It’s now a lot less weird and a lot less suspicious. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday on a “leather-bound book” containing, among other things, a doodle of a naked woman’s body framing an odd “typewritten” note, both supposedly penned by...

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump DOJ has officially filed a motion to UNSEAL the Epstein grand jury testimonies in the Southern District of New YorkThe people deserve to know EVERYTHING! pic.twitter.com/oypMlYsGW6— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 18, 2025

The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself Thursday by hyping a so-called Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a disputed birthday card from 2003 that they won’t show, and that Trump denies writing and is now suing over. The rest of the story was recycled material long in the public domain. Desperate to revive the left’s failed narrative tying Trump to Epstein, the Journal grasped at straws while ignoring Epstein’s far more substantial connections to powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s jet multiple times and visited his island — facts the media still downplays to this...

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that he has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony related to the disgraced, late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

We already knew that Donald Trump was acquainted with Jeffrey Epstein. The two were both young New York City multi-millionaires back in the day and ran with some of the big dogs in a big town. There are photos of Epstein with Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania. So one wonders why it would be BLOCKBUSTER news on the pages of the Wall Street Journal that Trump received an invitation to Epstein's 50th birthday before anyone with a badge and gun knew the financier was a sick pervert. No, really, that's the big news from the Journal that has been leaking...

The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so. The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious,...

Maurene Comey lashed out at Trump in a message to colleagues after she was fired. Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, was fired as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office on Wednesday. “There was no specific reason given for her firing from the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, according to one of the people who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters,” the AP reported. Maurene Comey didn’t call out Trump by name, but she attacked the president and his administration in a message after being...

West Pittston, just outside of the industrial centre of Scranton, Pennsylvania, has a classic smalltown-American look. There are clapboard houses, a main drag with businesses bearing charming vintage patina and lampposts bearing flags of the town's military veterans. And MAGA faithful. On Wednesday, in 85F (30C) weather, they lined the streets outside Don's Machine Shop where JD Vance spoke, touting President Donald Trump's recent legislative victory, what he calls his Big Beautiful Bill. But a lawn sign nearby as the US vice-president spoke pointed to an additional priority on their minds - a rare backlash against the Trump presidency from...

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer warned that President Donald Trump’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein threatens to “consume his presidency” in an interview on Wednesday, a dramatic rebuke from a presidential confidante that illustrates the growing rupture in the MAGA coalition. She likened it to the intense media interest in ties between Trump’s first White House campaign and Russia, saying “I don’t want it to consume his presidency.” “Obviously, this is not a complete hoax given the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison in Florida for her crimes and activities with Jeffrey Epstein, who...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday embraced the FBI’s decision to open a conspiracy probe into a decade of alleged intelligence abuses and weaponized law enforcement, suggesting it could be led by a special prosecutor and even delve into “credible evidence” in the Jeffrey Epstein case in order to give Americans a greater dose of transparency and accountability. He also vowed to declassify two highly sensitive pieces of intelligence to help further the prosecutor's efforts. “Well, I'm happy that they did that,” Trump said during a wide-ranging interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show when asked about the...

I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!

Who really had the power to protect Epstein across three states?The first time Jeffrey Epstein was locked up, it was in a private wing of the Palm Beach Stockade with unlocked doors and a ‘work release program’ (even though sex offenders were barred from participating in work release programs) that allowed him to keep an office outside the prison, then ‘work’ from his beachfront home, hire Sheriff’s Deputies as his private security, have them refer to him as a “client” and all the records of his visitors, who reportedly included minors used for sex, were then destroyed as part of...

Rasmussen Reports chief pollster Mark Mitchell joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday. During his discussion with host Steve Bannon, Mitchell warned that President Trump’s approval rating is one point away from his lowest net approval ever. This all has to do with the Epstein gaslighting. The American public is NOT buying it.
