President Donald Trump on Saturday announced he's levying tariffs of 30% against the European Union and Mexico. Trump announced the tariffs on two of the United States' biggest trade partners in letters posted to his social media account. In his letter to Mexico's leader, Trump acknowledged that the country has been helpful in stemming the flow of undocumented migrants and fentanyl into the United States. But he said the country has not done enough to stop North America from turning into a "Narco-Trafficking Playground." Trump in his letter to the European Union said that the U.S. trade deficit was a...

@SpartaJustice President Trump acknowledged that Jeffrey Epstein stole Virginia Guiffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa. She was later sex trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine to Prince Andrew and other famous billionaires and elites. She testified that she never saw President Trump do anything wrong.

DOJ has declassified key new documents detailing how the Comey FBI and Peter Strzok ignored a major national security breach by Hillary Clinton they should have thoroughly investigated as part of a counterintelligence case, but they went after Donald Trump instead ... When are you going to get off this ignoring stuff? Steele was paid by FBI simultaneously as he was being paid by Clinton. You can do the math. They set Steele up inside Clinton campaign. He was using Danchenko as a cutout. Clinton put him there through Strobe Talbott, another name you are omitting from this that should...

Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing negative about President Donald Trump during her nine hour interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, ABC News reported on Wednesday. According to ABC’s sources, Maxwell told Blanche that “Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern.” The jailhouse interview took place over two days, last month, and and according to Maxwell’s attorney David Markus, she “didn’t hold anything back.” The Trump administration is reportedly considering releasing the transcripts from the interview to the public, but it’s not clear whether the administration plans to release the audio recording...

When Bill Clinton looked out of the private plane window as it came to land in Africa, he likely had no idea how much the 2002 trip would change his life. The tour was to launch his new nonprofit AIDS initiative, taking in five countries and even spending the day with former South African president Nelson Mandela. But those aspects of the trip have long been forgotten as the ex-president, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker and others were flying as guests of Jeffrey Epstein about the infamous jet later to be known as The Lolita Express. Devious Epstein, later exposed as...

Republicans in the House Oversight Committee are pushing forward with their investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case, issuing subpoenas this week to compel testimony from former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent letters requiring Hillary Clinton to appear on October 9 and Bill Clinton on October 14. The subpoenas extend beyond the Clintons to include a roster of former high-level officials from across administrations. Former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller have been called, along with former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Alberto Gonzales, and...

Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell handed authorities documentation alleging that at least “100 different people” were within the late pedophile’s orbit, a bombshell disclosure that comes after two meetings with a top official from the U.S. Justice Department. The disclosure aligns with concerns expressed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and others that figures in the periphery of Epstein’s abuse may become ensnared if the government releases tranches of new documents in the case.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump–Russia probe buried in multiple "burn bags" in a secret room inside the bureau, sources familiar with the incident told Fox News Digital.

Nobody saw this coming. I mean nobody. Yesterday, the Times ran another electrifying story headlined, “After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of a Trump Pardon.” Pardon concerns mount! In the passive voice! By themselves! Yesterday, in the warm, cozy, Sunshine State climate, “Todd Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s top deputy, concluded a second extraordinary day of interviews with Ms. Maxwell,” the article explained. In other words, after years of Biden Administration stonewalling (and file padding), Ghislaine Maxwell got a two-day DOJ interview faster than Little Caesars could deliver a jailhouse pizza. And not just any random DOJ interviewer,...

Trump's ace up his sleeve?

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...

A senior Department of Justice official is meeting with longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday in Tallahassee, Florida, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The meeting between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Maxwell is occurring in downtown Tallahassee at the U.S. attorney's office, which is located inside the federal courthouse, sources familiar with the matter said. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022. She is serving her sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee. MORE: Ghislaine Maxwell engaged in 'significant pattern of dishonest conduct,'...

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...

@JudiciaryDems Sen. DURBIN: Time and again, Pam Bondi and President Trump have lied to the American people. They are destroying Americans’ trust in our justice system.

The House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement voted on Wednesday to subpoena the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all of the Epstein files with three Republicans joining the Democrat motion. This comes as President Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the sealed grand jury transcripts. I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” Trump announced over the weekend. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” On Wednesday, however, an Obama-appointed federal judge denied the Justice Department’s bid to unseal Jeffrey Epstein...

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

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...

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...
