Appearing Thursday on Morning Joe, MS NOW’s Ali Vitali conceded there are “valid questions” about Bill Clinton’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein — enough to justify a House Oversight deposition. But the only connection Vitali mentioned? “He appears in photos.”Left unmentioned was what ABC News has reported: Bill Clinton was listed on 26 Epstein flight legs — though some were segments of the same international trips. Still, 26 entries in the logs. Not one. Not “a couple.” Twenty-six. Morning Joe viewers would never have known it. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

With Bill and Hillary Clinton giving their depositions to the US House Government Oversight Committee over Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein a man known as a 'financier' I am certainly reminded of those "Clinton Years" of the 1990's. Those years punctuated by financial questions about the Clinton's from the 'cattle futures' windfall for Hillary to the Whitewater project questions surrounding them and those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records. But in the end it was all for nought as a probe of the Clinton's centered on financial wrongdoing descended into the pit of Bill Clinton's illicit sexual relationships and his...

Larry Summers, the former Treasury secretary who has been dogged by his past friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, will resign from teaching at Harvard University by the end of the current academic year, according to reports on Wednesday...Summers previously served as president of Harvard.

Jeffrey Epstein secretly stashed computers, photographs, and other items in storage units scattered across the US — and paid private detectives to move the material around as investigators closed in on him, according to a new report. Financial records and emails reviewed by the Telegraph revealed that the dead pedophile rented at least six storage lockers nationwide, some starting in 2003, and paid for them until 2019, the year he died by suicide in lockup. The units were used to house items from Epstein’s homes, including computers and CDs from his private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, the outlet reported....

Brunel contemplated flipping on Epstein. We often hear analysts, politicians or victims complaining that Ghislaine Maxwell ended up being the only member of the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring to face justice. But this complaint, while it has merit, is not completely accurate, because it ignores the sordid saga of French modeling agent and alleged serial rapist Jean-Luc Brunel. Late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre said he ‘raped [her] repeatedly in New York and on Epstein’s island’. From her 2015 testimony: ‘He was another of Epstein’s powerful friends who had many contacts with young girls throughout the world. In fact, his only...

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder and major Democrat donor Reid Hoffman, who recently donated $250,000 to Nikki Haley in a strategic attempt to stop Donald Trump from winning the GOP nomination, visited Epstein Island. Hoffman donated to Haley’s campaign after a chief executive for JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, called on Democrat donors to donate to Haley through the SFA Fund Inc. super PAC. Last year, Hoffman admitted he had visited Epstein’s island, Little St. James, telling the Wall Street Journal, “It gnaws me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation, and thus delayed justice for his survivors.” According to then-MIT...

King Charles' statement on Andrew goes as follows: “ ‘I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and...

Disgraced ex-Prince Andrew was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein. At least six unmarked police cars and around eight plainclothes officers swooped onto the king’s brother’s Sandringham Estate in eastern England early Thursday — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 66th birthday. Andrew — who is still eighth in line for the throne — faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has today been arrested on his 66th birthday and is in police custody. Thames Valley Police said the eighth in line to the British throne has been held on suspicion of misconduct in public office. A force spokesman said officers are searching an address in Norfolk - believed to be Wood Farm where he is exiled - and an address in Berkshire, likely to be Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for more than 20 years until this month. 'The man remains in police custody at this time', the spokesman said - but the force would not...

Until now Emmanuel Macron's adviser on North Africa and the Middle East, Anne-Clark Legendre says she will champion "the Arab strand in French culture" as the new head of the Arab World Institute. She replaces Jack Lang who resigned from the post over revelations about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2023, newly disclosed documents related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein revealed meetings and financial interactions between Epstein and the eminent linguist and public intellectual Noam Chomsky. The disclosures did not accuse Chomsky of criminal conduct. But they confirmed that, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, Chomsky met with him multiple times and discussed financial matters. Chomsky’s response was characteristically blunt: his meetings with Epstein, he said, were “none of your business.” The tone may have been legally defensible. Culturally and symbolically, it was something else. Because Chomsky is not merely a professor emeritus at MIT....

As the Department of Justice has continued releasing millions of files regarding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, the world has looked on in horror as tales of abuse, sex trafficking and murder seem all too evil and gruesome to be true. Epstein, who died in jail in 2019, was hugely wealthy and successful, often socializing with the cultural elite. As such, a wide array of politicians, socialites, celebrities and media moguls appear in the Epstein files. Musicians do too. The collection of famous rockers who appear in the Epstein files may come as a surprise to some, but it’s very important...

Reid Hoffman blatantly lied about why he funded E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against Donald Trump. No one anywhere would believe Carroll’s ridiculous case. It was 100% political. The corrupt New York court found Trump guilty of touching her, not rape. She accused him of raping her in a women’s dressing room after she invited him in. Carroll said it was exciting and couldn’t even remember what year it allegedly happened. It is also important to note that E. Jean was a serial accuser. She accused at least seven men of raping her. E. Jean gets images in her head and...

A ghost story falls in the category of fantasy. And former ABC reporter Tara Palmeri's Halloween-in-February hot take in Vanity Fair on Thursday, "Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House," certainly falls within the realm of fantasy. She updates Banquo's ghost to the 21st century and engages in the fantasy that Epstein's ghost is somehow haunting Trump's every move.Since no incriminating facts in the Epstein files could be found about Trump, Palmeri performs the pretense of somehow channeling the president's soul and concluding that his every waking (and sleeping) moment is being haunted by Epstein's ghost....

Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, is selling his eponymous talent agency in the wake of the release of emails between himself and Ghislaine Maxwell. Wasserman's emails with Maxwell were revealed by his appearance in recently released government files on Jeffrey Epstein. Wasserman, whose agency represents some of the top pop music artists in the world, has not been accused of any wrongdoing. The recently released documents revealed that in 2003 he swapped flirtatious emails with Maxwell, who would years later be accused of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse his victims. Wasserman said...
