Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer says she fully cooperated and answered all DOJ questions during today’s interview. "Miss Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer.” “She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability. And that's all the comment we're going to have today about the meeting. We don't want to comment about the substance of the meeting, for obvious reasons, and we'll go from there." 4:25 PM · Jul 24, 2025

Much is expected of Ms Maxwell, 63, who was found by the courts to have enabled the campaign of sexual abuse that her late friend and lover, Jeffrey Epstein, waged against young girls. In particular, the Justice Department wants to establish exactly what Ms Maxwell knows about long-running claims of a conspiracy between senior politicians, financiers and public figures who, it is widely alleged, joined Epstein in the abuse and then covered up the evidence. Meanwhile, Americans who believe the claims of a conspiracy hope fervently that she will spill details of the supposed high-level corruption and the 'truth', whatever...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell was granted “limited immunity” during meetings with Trump’s Deputy Attorney General. “The immunity allowed Maxwell to freely answer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's questions without fear that her responses could later be used against her, the sources said.” Maxwell’s Attorney: “She didn’t hold anything back.” 5:41 PM · Jul 25, 2025

President Trump told reporters on Friday that Barack Obama owes him “big” for the Supreme Court’s decision that Presidential Immunity applies to the former President after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard found evidence that Obama fabricatied and led the Russia Collusion hoax to sabotage then-President Elect Trump in 2016. .... Snip.... Trump responded on Friday, signaling that Obama committed crimes, but may be safe. “He’s done criminal acts, there’s no question about it, but he has immunity,” Trump said. “But it doesn’t help the people around him at all.” “He owes me big. Obama owes me big!” the President...

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to “remove vagrant individuals” from the streets — and rehouse homeless people, drug addicts, and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.” The order redirects federal funding to finance “treatment centers, outpatient treatment and other facilities,” according to an official document viewed by The Post that describes the order. On average, more than 274,000 people were sleeping on the streets each night last year under then-President Joe Biden, the file describing the order says. “The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental...

House Democratic leaders on Wednesday stepped up their hardball criticism of President Trump and the GOP over the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, accusing their rivals of shielding pedophiles by not releasing federal files surrounding the case. The Democrats say the decision by GOP leaders to leave Washington a day early for the long summer recess — a move precipitated by Democratic efforts to force votes compelling the Trump administration to release those files — is indication that Republicans don’t want the details of the Epstein case revealed because they might implicate wealthy GOP donors, or even President Trump himself. “What a...

Former DNI James Clapper Says He Has Concerns That He'll Be Prosecuted for His Role in the Russia Collusion Hoax

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington after the week’s legislative agenda was upended by Republican members who are clamoring for a vote.Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, said Tuesday morning that he wants to give the White House “space” to release the Epstein information on its own, despite the bipartisan push for legislation that aims to force the release of more documents.“There’s no purpose for the Congress to push an administration to do something they’re already doing,” Johnson...

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld 1. No Formal List Exists The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such. 2. Avoiding Legal Risk Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled. 3. Victim Protection Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions. 4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a...

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...

President Trump on Saturday evening set the internet ablaze after he floated prosecuting Barack Obama and the Deep State thugs involved the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. ODNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax. CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently announced that a new CIA report revealed former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office. The three corrupt Obama officials even included the Steele Dossier in their quest to “screw Trump”...

A woman, now around 40, born between 1980-87, comes forward saying Trump and Epstein raped her in the 90s. The media will break out the old phrase "Trump has been credibly accused" and daily remind everyone of course that he was sued civilly for sexual abuse and lost.

“It would make [Epstein] a story with which we have to be persistent and steady in our demands; but also cautious, and methodical, and discerning.” —Naomi Wolf. Do you detect the signs of Rope-a-Dope in Mr. Trump’s recent blasts against the Epstein mess? It must be obvious that anything he says will be violently opposed by his Democratic Party enemies. So, now he’s got them slavering for release of the Epstein files, whatever they are, or rather, whatever’s left after former FBI Director Christopher Wray & Co. curated them, shall we say. (They had many years to get it done.)...

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today #10 - Democrat reveals Jeffrey Epstein received $1.1 BILLION in wire transfers from a SINGLE bank account. It’s not often you see a Democrat laser-focused on Epstein. Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed: “4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.” Let that sink in. One account, over a billion dollars. And no one...

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.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who earlier this month feuded online with President Donald Trump after stepping down as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, has been flooding his social media feed with criticism of Trump and his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Using his X platform, Musk has been on a posting spree since Wednesday, posting or reposting criticisms of Trump's handling of the Epstein files more than 35 times. In one post, Musk called the Trump administration's actions "a cover up (obviously)" and claimed in another that "so many powerful people want that list suppressed."...

Late Thursday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal published an "exclusive" involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. That "scoop," as our Joe Cunningham notes, amounts to a "bawdy" birthday card purportedly sent by Trump to Epstein for his 50th birthday...in 2003. Setting aside the time, context, and rather ridiculous nature of the described communication, WSJ noted that Trump flat-out denied having authored the note. "This is not me," he said in response to the story. "This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of...

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,...
