President Trump called for an “end” to federal inquiries about Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, saying that the Department of Justice had “done its job” even as officials and lawmakers are still investigating the government’s case against the deceased sex trafficker. “The confused and badly failing Democrat Party did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!” Trump erupted in a lengthy Truth Social post. “They knew everything there was to know about Epstein, but now, years after his death, they, out of nowhere, are seeming to...

American private military firms could be deployed to Ukraine as part of a long-term peace plan. Donald Trump is in talks with European allies about allowing armed contractors to help build fortifications to protect American interests in the country. The plan is being devised as a workaround after the US president promised that American troops would not be stationed in Ukraine. US contractors could be deployed to help rebuild Ukraine’s front-line defences, new bases and protect US businesses.

A federal judge has denied the federal government’s request to delay the significant dismantling of the South Florida detention facility—also known as Alligator Alcatraz—at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. In a previous order, the judge had halted the transfer of detainees to the center, stopped new construction, and ordered the removal of some aspects of the facility. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams of the District Court for the Southern District of Florida released her decision on Aug. 27, after attorneys for the Department of Homeland Security and the Florida Division of Emergency Management submitted a motion to stay her...

After his first arrest for sex crimes, Jeffrey Epstein tried to get into a new line of work: surveillance. In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne. Leaked emails show that Epstein was using Barak to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe, including American businessman Peter Thiel, the former director of Israeli signals intelligence, and two people in Russian President Vladimir Putin's circle. After he was first caught sexually exploiting teenage girls,...

Summary: The video covers growing scrutiny over the 2016 U.S. intelligence assessment that claimed Russian interference aimed to help Donald Trump. Key points: Senator Tom Cotton, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, has sent a letter to the FBI questioning former Director James Comey’s actions and potential bias against Trump. Cotton accuses Obama, Biden, Clinton, Brennan, Comey, and Clapper of colluding to suppress dissent within the intelligence community that found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. The Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) is criticized as a politically directed product, allegedly influenced directly by Obama and senior appointees like CIA Director John Brennan. Former...

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump is heavily weighing giving Sean “Diddy” Combs a full presidential pardon ahead of the convicted Bad Boy Records founder’s sentencing later this year. Nearly two months after Trump publicly entertained the notion of a Diddy pardon in an Oval Office gaggle, a comprehensive get out of jail card for Combs is being “seriously considered,” an administration source tells Deadline.... Even before the mixed verdict came in, Trump exclaimed on May 30 that when it came to a Diddy pardon, he “would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or...

The Department of Justice revealed Tuesday that there were only two witnesses to testify to the grand juries that indicted Jeffrey Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, on sex-trafficking charges. The revelation was made in a late-night filing that urged a Manhattan judge to unseal the transcripts and release the documents to the public, given the “abundant public interest” after it was announced that a review of the cases determined there was no Epstein client list. *** However, even if the judge agrees to the transcripts getting released, it would still only represent a small fraction of the mountain of...

President Donald Trump issued a rare threat of nuclear escalation on Friday, saying he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be strategically positioned near Russia in response to what he said were aggressive remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, the country’s former president and current deputy chairman of its Security Council. “I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your...

President Donald Trump was asked to weigh in on the Sydney Sweeney "great jeans" American Eagle ad controversy. He delivered a reply that demonstrated humor and exposed it for the silliness it deserves. It'd be challenging to imagine readers are unaware of what happened here, but a quick recap, if you will: Sweeney, who is a bombshell by most measures, dared to star in a commercial wearing form-fitting pants, a loosely buttoned shirt, and looking good while talking about her "great jeans." Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign is receiving criticism for a “jeans/genes” pun that some say echoes eugenics and...

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller accused India of effectively funding Russia’s war in Ukraine by continuing to purchase Russian oil, despite U.S. tariffs imposed in response. “What [Trump] said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia,” Miller stated. “People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That’s an astonishing fact,” he added in a Sunday Fox News appearance. Miller’s comments were in reference to a series of Truth Social posts President Donald Trump made...

Six months into Donald Trump's return to the White House Marjorie Taylor Greene has about had it with the Republican Party. The conservative firebrand who surged onto the political scene in 2021 and has been an ever-present figure in the House GOP and MAGA orbit ever since told the Daily Mail in a 45-minute call this week that it may be time for her to walk away. 'I don't know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I'm kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,' she revealed. 'I don't know which one it is.' Her...

During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is considering publicly releasing the transcripts from the interview, multiple sources familiar with the internal discussions told ABC News. Maxwell's meetings with Blanche took place for nine hours over two days.

Sydney Sweeney fans can now lather up with the actor's bathwater in a limited-edition soap made by men's natural body wash brand Dr. Squatch. The Emmy-nominated star, who rose to fame on the HBO series "Euphoria," appeared soaking in a bathtub in a viral Dr. Squatch commercial in October, inspiring the new product release. You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it," Sweeney wrote in the caption of a joint Instagram post with the company announcing the product. "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss" will be available on the Dr. Squatch website for a limited time starting...

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...

A veteran Wisconsin judge was arrested Friday for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade ICE agents in her courthouse, the FBI said. Judge Hannah Dugan, who has been on the Milwaukee County bench for nearly a decade, was nabbed on an obstruction charge after she was accused of interfering in Eduardo Flores Ruiz’s arrest last week. “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,” FBI director Kash Patel said in an X post. “Thankfully our...

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday. Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years. Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.

Almost six years after the suspicious “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein, notorious billionaire financier and pedophile, his most famous accuser has also died. Virginia Giuffre, who claimed, as a minor, she was forced into sexual acts with both Epstein and Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reportedly died by “suicide” last Thursday. At the age of sixteen, Giuffre said she was recruited to work for Epstein by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in December of 2021 on five counts of assisting Epstein in his sexual abuse of underage girls. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Comer believes the files are already destroyed to cover up the deep state. “I don’t think the Department of Justice has [the Epstein files]—or at least the Attorney General does not have them—or she would have turned them over. The President ordered them released. The Attorney General ordered them released. We all know they have not been released. One of my biggest fears, which I expressed with Kash Patel and a lot of people, including Stephen Miller, going into the new administration, was this: I hope they’re not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition....
