Why Did Republicans Skip The Hearing For Epstein’s Billionaire Bestie?

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Oversight GOP members skipped billionaire Les Wexner’s deposition, where he revealed new details about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wednesday deposition with the House Oversight Committee took place in Ohio where several Democrat committee members traveled to be present at the Epstein co-conspirator’s deposition, including California Democrat Ranking Member Robert Garcia.

Although several Democrat members were present at the deposition not one Republican member travelled for the deposition of Wexner who was allegedly one of Epstein’s largest bankrollers.

The Daily Caller reached out to the House Oversight Committee for comment on why no Republican members attended the deposition.

Depositions are formal legal proceedings conducted by committee staff. Under committee rules, the majority and minority alternate between hour-long periods of questioning. (Read more from “Why Did Republicans Skip The Hearing For Epstein’s Billionaire Bestie?” HERE)

Trump Imposes 10 Percent Global Tariff After Supreme Court Struck Down Emergency Powers Tariffs

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced he is imposing a ten percent global tariff on top of tariffs already in place after the Supreme Court struck down his duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

Trump’s announcement came during a press briefing the White House scheduled on short notice after the 6-3 ruling against the IEEPA tariffs, in which Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with liberal judges to rule against the president.

The 10 percent global tariff Trump is imposing on Friday is not under IEEPA but under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized is another vehicle for imposing tariffs in his dissenting opinion.

“Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232, and existing Section 301, tariffs… remain in place, fully in place, and in full force and effect,” Trump said.

“Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10 percent global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged, and we’re also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies,” he added.

Distraction? Trump Pledges to Release the Alien Files: ‘Extremely Interesting’

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will be releasing all government files related to UFOs and aliens.

The president issued his announcement via his Truth Social account on Thursday.

“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters,” Trump wrote.

The president issued his announcement after he chastised former President Barack Obama for saying aliens are real, which he later walked back.

“He gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump said. “I don’t know if they’re real or not, but I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information. No, I don’t have an opinion on it. I never talk about it. A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it.” (Read more from “Distraction?

Epstein Files Reveal Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘Central Role’ in Setting Up Clinton Global Initiative

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that she met Jeffrey Epstein-associate Ghislaine Maxwell “on a few occasions” despite widespread reporting that Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and played a substantial role in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), one of President Bill Clinton’s signature post-White House endeavors.

The Justice Department released its latest tranche of documents relating to the late Epstein which revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell played a significant role in the Clinton orbit of politics.

Hillary Clinton recently said she had met Maxwell “on a few occasions,” attempting to distance herself from Maxwell and Epstein. Bill Clinton was featured prominently in the Epstein files.

Despite this claim, Maxwell, in her Justice Department interview last year, said she had a “very central” role in setting up the Clinton Global Initiative. She also said Epstein was involved in the effort.

The Epstein files have detailed Maxwell’s integral role in supporting the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative. Maxwell took part in budget discussions for the first CGI conference, discussed issues with Clinton aides, and worked with Publicis Groupe, the company that produced CGI’s first event.

Les Wexner’s Attorney Caught on Hot Mic Saying He’ll ‘F–king Kill’ Ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO During Jeffrey Epstein Probe Deposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

A lawyer for billionaire Les Wexner apparently had enough of the businessman’s long-winded answers during a deposition before House Oversight Committee investigators earlier this week – and was caught on a hot mic bluntly telling him to keep his answers to questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein short and sweet.

“I will f–king kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, OK?” attorney Michael Levy whispered to Wexner about four-and-a-half hours into the former Victoria’s Secret owner’s deposition in the congressional Epstein probe.

The wild moment was captured on video footage of Wexner’s deposition, which was released in its entirety by the committee on Thursday.

Wexner, 88, had been asked about how often disgraced financier performed work for him and proceeded to ramble about all his possessions that needed inventorying, something he explained he didn’t realize was important until he hired Epstein.

Wexner laughed after receiving the advice from his attorney, the footage showed. (Read more from “Les Wexner’s Attorney Caught on Hot Mic Saying He’ll ‘F–king Kill’ Ex-Victoria’s Secret CEO During Jeffrey Epstein Probe Deposition” HERE)

UK Blocks Trump From Using RAF Bases for Strikes on Iran — and He Is Already Retaliating

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The UK is blocking President Trump from using its military air bases for a possible attack on Iran — because the lefty government believes such strikes could violate international law and doesn’t want Britain implicated, according to a new report.

Trump has already hit back by slamming the UK prime minister’s plan to resolve a long-running dispute over a strategically crucial chain of islands in the Indian Ocean.

The White House is drawing up plans for a possible military strike on Iran that involves the use of the Royal Air Force base Fairford in England — which is a forward operating base for America’s heavy bombers, the Times reported.

Trump reportedly spoke with Prime Minister Keir Starmer about the plans Tuesday night, and UK officials were worried that giving the US permission to use the RAF bases for a military attack could breach international law, according to the Times.

Trump made a direct reference to the UK base in Diego Garcia — part of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean nearly 6,000 miles from Britain — plus RAF Fairford. (Read more from “UK Blocks Trump From Using RAF Bases for Strikes on Iran — and He Is Already Retaliating” HERE)

These Are the Bombshell Epstein Files That Led to Ex-Prince Andrew’s Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

The former Prince Andrew is accused of betraying the UK by sharing confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein and his pals — and files that were recently released by the US Justice Department culminated in his arrest Thursday.

In one of the emails from October 2010, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor forwarded official reports to Epstein, sharing the details of his visits to mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam with the disgraced financier.

On Christmas Eve 2010, he also messaged Epstein and sent him a confidential briefing about investment opportunities in Afghanistan, where the UK government was funding reconstruction in Helmand Province, the emails released by the DOJ show.

“Attached is a confidential brief produced by the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand Province for International Investment Opportunities,” the email reportedly from Andrew to Epstein reads.

“I am going to offer this elsewhere in my network (including Abu Dhabi) but would be very interested in your comments, views or ideas as to whom I could also usefully show this to attract some interest,” the email continues.

DOJ Quietly Takes Down FBI Interview of 13-Year-Old Victim Accusing Trump Of Sexual Assault

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US Department of Justice appears to have removed records showing the FBI conducted multiple interviews with a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

Investigative journalist Roger Sollenberger broke the story on 17 February 2026, and the Daily Beast subsequently confirmed his findings.

A single FBI interview summary from July 2019 is still accessible on the DOJ’s public Epstein database. That is it.

A document that reportedly catalogued at least three additional formal interviews — conducted in August and October of that year — is no longer available at its original web address.

Trump has denied all wrongdoing related to Jeffrey Epstein. He told reporters aboard Air Force One on 17 February that he has been ‘exonerated’ by the files. ‘I have nothing to hide,’ he said.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump could make a decision on military strikes in Iran soon, with the US military ready to potentially launch an attack by this weekend.

American military assets have been building up in the Middle East in recent days ahead of a possible strike, CNN reported.

‘He is spending a lot of time thinking about this,’ a source told the network, adding that Trump has found himself arguing both in favor of and against the military action.

Trump has also spent the recent days taking informal polls of his aides and military advisors over what to do, but it remains unclear when the president will make the final call. . .

Earlier Wednesday, it was revealed the president is on the verge of greenlighting a ‘massive, weeks-long’ military campaign against Iran that would be seen as all out war.
