Donald Trump Rages at ‘Fake News’, Breaks Silence on Melania Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein Speech

President Donald Trump has finally addressed First Lady Melania Trump’s controversial remarks on Jeffrey Epstein from the White House. She shocked everyone when she dismissed allegations about her relationship with disgraced financier and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, in a speech on April 9.

After the surprise announcement, her ex-chief of staff also gave the president’s claim a ‘B-’ rating that he had no idea about her speech and that he was “caught off guard” by her unexpected statement.

And now, Trump has finally put the talk to rest. According to the Mirror, the president has revealed that she gave a statement denying her connection with Epstein as a constant stream of “fake news” was “bothering” her. This happened after a reporter questioned Trump about the recent statement outside the White House.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Thursday, April 16, Trump said there were no ties between his wife and Epstein. “She had none”, he said. “Because the fake news said she did. She had none. I think that’s been proven”, he continued.

Trump and Epstein were reportedly once friends, but their relationship strained with time. Despite repeated mention of his name in Epstein Files released by the DOJ, the president claimed to have no awareness or ties to Epstein’s criminal activities during the billionaire’s lifetime.

Tijuana Sewage Exposes Thousands In US To Toxic Air

Thousands of people in California are being sickened due to exposure to raw sewage that foams up in the Tijuana River before the river empties into the Pacific Ocean, according to The Associated Press (AP).

Steve Egger, a 72-year-old resident of Southern California, told The AP the exposure is “awful,” noting the foam emits toxic fumes that cloud the air. “Most nights we breathe in a horrible stench,” Egger said. Egger and his wife’s home has a hospital-grade filtration system that cycles air every 15 minutes. Despite this measure, the couple frequently experiences headaches, waking up congested, and coughing up phlegm, according to Egger.

While doctors have recommended that he move, Egger says Southern California is his “home.”

“This is where I’ve lived all my life, with my family, my parents, my grandparents,” he said. “This is home.”

The Tijuana River has carried 10 billion gallons of raw sewage and industrial waste across the U.S. border from Mexico since January 2026, according to International Water and Boundary Commission (IWBC) data cited by The AP. More than 100 billion gallons of raw sewage, industrial chemicals, and trash have poured into the Tijuana River since 2018, the IWBC said.

‘What Are You Doing?’: UPS Plane Avoids Collision With Jet After Suspending Landing

A UPS cargo plane was forced to abort a landing after a corporate jet taxied toward the runway at the Louisville International Airport in Kentucky just after midnight on Tuesday.

As the plane was prepping to land at the Louisville Muhammed Ali International Airport, a jet owned by the medical laboratory healthcare services company Labcorp inched past the taxiway, causing an array of air traffic control alarm systems up in the air traffic control tower to go off, CBS News reported. The unexpected move by the Labcorp pilot prompted air traffic controllers on location to demand the jet halt, which it did. This forced the UPS plane, around 125 feet from the surface, to execute a “go-around,” according to the outlet.

“What are you doing?” one of the air traffic controllers can reportedly be heard pressing the Labcorp pilot in the audio, according to CBS News.

“Sorry for that,” the Labcorp pilot replied.

In November of 2025, UPS suffered a fatal cargo plane crash that claimed 14 lives, which occurred at the same airport:

REPORT: UK Prime Minister Claims Officials Hid Former Ambassador’s Epstein Ties From Him

The British Prime Minister’s office reportedly claims that officials within the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office withheld critical information about former ambassador Peter Mandelson.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggests his own government failed to inform him that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns raised during the vetting process, including concerns tied to his security vetting and alleged connections involving Jeffrey Epstein, according to SkyNews’ Political Editor Beth Rigby. Officials now say neither Starmer nor Foreign Secretary David Lammy knew that Mandelson’s clearance allegedly went against the recommendation of U.K. security vetting authorities.

The scrutiny was toward senior civil servants inside the Foreign Office—particularly Olly Robbins, the department’s top official. Rigby posted that Starmer had already been asking internal questions about the vetting process in recent days, especially after The Guardian reported the story. Despite those inquiries, officials allegedly failed to disclose that Mandelson’s clearance had been granted despite objections from vetting authorities.

On March 16, Rigby said she pressed Starmer on Mandelson’s appointment, and he responded that “due process was followed” while acknowledging system weaknesses, calling the outcome “my mistake,” and issuing an apology. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s office, now says officials withheld key vetting details from Starmer, including that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns, even as he addressed Parliament, according to The Guardian’s political editor Pippa Crerar.

Elon Musk’s Proposal of ‘Universal High Income’ to Combat AI Job Losses Baffles Economists: ‘So Wrong on This’

Elon Musk turned heads Friday when he suggested that the federal government paying citizens a “universal high income” is the best way to combat AI-related job losses.

“Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI,” Musk said in a post on his own X platform shortly after midnight Friday morning.

The proposal, which is still pinned to the top of his X account, rebuffed the idea that such payments would be inflationary. . .

“He is so wrong on this,” wrote Sanjeev Sanyal, the former top economic advisor to India’s Minister of Finance.

“AI will certainly cause dislocation, but like all technology it will also create new jobs and opportunities in the medium term. AI and robots will also not produce goods and services in excess of money or demand that there will be no inflation,” he wrote on X.

Teacher ‘Inadvertently’ Displays Female Breast Photos to High School Class During Presentation

Students at a Washington high school got an unexpected eyeful of female human anatomy during a slide show presentation by a teacher, apparently from the instructor’s personal computer.

Students at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, Washington, were “inadvertently” exposed to images of bare female breasts during the presentation, school principal Alicia Mitchell wrote to parents in a letter obtained by several news outlets.

The principal wrote:

Families, we want to make you aware of an incident in a classroom where inappropriate images were inadvertently shared with the students. It is our understanding that these images have since been viewed by many others beyond the classroom and want to give you an opportunity to process with your student if you choose to do so.

Specifically, the content included images of nude breasts and were briefly visible during a teacher’s PowerPoint presentation. This does not reflect our expectations for classroom materials, and we take this matter very seriously. School administrators have already started taking steps to address this and are actively reviewing to assess this situation and appropriately address it moving forward.

We Have Several Signs Trump Admin Planning Next Country As Military Target

The U.S. military may be ramping up for a potential Cuba operation, multiple reports suggest.

Two sources familiar with the matter leaked the information to USA Today on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly — a report the U.S. military has yet to verify. Open source intelligence accounts on X also documented the flight path of a drone that appeared to be spying on the communist nation.

“BLKCAT6, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C ‘Triton’ High-Altitude Surveillance Drone flew an over 12-hour mission yesterday off the coast of Cuba, flying rounds over the Gulf of America and Northern Caribbean, taking a particularly close look at both Havana and the area near Guantanamo Bay, before returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida,” OSINTdefender posted on X.

The USA Today leak came just over a month after President Donald Trump’s announcement that Cuba’s regime was at “the end of the line” at the Shield of the Americas Summit on March 7.

“As part of our standard responsibilities, U.S. Southern Command routinely reviews and updates contingency plans to ensure readiness and support for U.S. government objectives in the region,” U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email, when asked whether it is preparing operational plans regarding Cuba.

Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime

One of the twisted brutes who livestreamed the racist torture of a white disabled man nearly a decade ago is back behind bars for chasing down and mugging a cyclist, according to police.

Tesfaye Cooper, 30 — who spent roughly seven years in prison for terrorizing and beating a mentally disabled man in Chicago in 2017 — was arrested on April 8 for allegedly beating up the cyclist and stealing his bike with an accomplice, CWB Chicago reported.

Cooper and Mazi Pearson, 33, are accused of shouting “GDs!” — or Gangster Disciples!” — before chasing the victim into a train station, punching and spitting at him, police told the station.

In 2017, Cooper, who is black, and three other accomplices live-streamed the horrific hate crime on Facebook in which they bound, gagged and cut the special-needs man with a knife.

In the video, someone is heard urging the victim to say, “I love black people” and “F–k Donald Trump, n—a, f–k white people!” (Read more from “Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime” HERE)

String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges

The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said his office had already been eyeing some of the “too coincidental” disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation.

The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost “certainly” linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information — and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.

“This is a rallying call to pay attention to this issue and make sure that our nation’s top scientists are safe and secure,” Burlison told “Fox & Friends.”

“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this. We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this matter.” (Read more from “String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges” HERE)

How Justin Fairfax’s ‘Toxic’ Home Life Cruelly Victimized His ‘Gifted’ Teen Kids Before Murder-Suicide

Ex-Va. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and wife Cerina’s teen children were blessed from birth with sharp intellects and impressive athletic prowess, but for years suffered under the crushing weight of their parents’ toxic marriage and a father whose life and mental state were in freefall.

Court documents describe Cameron, 16, and his kid sister Carys, 14, as “hard-working” students who “perform to high academic standards” at top-notch private schools.

Both are also “gifted athletes” who play on school and travel teams – Cameron is the captain of Gonzaga College High School’s basketball team, while Carys is a stand-out athlete at St. Paul VI High School, where she plays varsity lacrosse.

Cerina, 49, had been the children’s primary caregiver their entire lives – their “port in the storm” as their parents’ marriage slowly fell apart, the documents state, noting their particularly “tight bond” with their dentist mother.

But while the teens were excelling in every aspect of their lives, a malevolent force was simmering inside their father as his political career and personal life hit the skids following multiple accusations of sexual assault.
