Newly Released Epstein Files Reveal Further Ties to Israel

By Michael Arria. The release of more than 3 million new files connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein reveals further connections between the convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he plead guilty of sex crimes in 2008.

In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.

Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”

The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.

Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show

By The Palestine Chronicle. The Epstein files deepen scrutiny of his long-standing ties to Israeli political power, particularly through repeated contact with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Allegations of Israeli intelligence links appear in declassified FBI records, showing such claims were treated as a formal counter-intelligence concern, not fringe speculation.

Epstein retained elite access and protection long after his 2008 conviction, raising unresolved questions about impunity and institutional shielding.

Israel emerges in the files as a strategic node in Epstein’s global influence network, connecting US politics, Gulf elites, and international diplomacy.

Survivors say the document release still prioritizes power over accountability, exposing victims while leaving many enablers unnamed or legally untouched. (Read more from “Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show” HERE)

Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast

President Trump referred to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as a “moron” at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday.

“He’s an automatic no. No matter what,” Trump said, referencing Massie’s opposition to past legislation pushed by the president and other Republicans.

“If we did welfare reform, if we did the greatest thing in the history for religion, no matter what we did, no matter how good it is,” he continued. “No matter what we do, this moron, no matter what it is.”

“We’ll put [the top five things] in one bill,” he said. “We’ll get a 100 percent vote, except for this guy named Thomas Massie. There’s something wrong with him. We call him Rand Paul Jr.”

GOP Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) also frequently opposes legislation bolstered by Republicans. (Read more from “Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Attacks James Comer Over Epstein Hearing: ‘If You Want this Fight, Let’s Have It — In Public’

Hillary Clinton attacked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday as she pushed for a public hearing after she and her husband agreed to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “If you want this fight,” she told Comer, “Let’s have it — in public.”

Former President Bill Clinton and his wife are set to testify on their relationship with the disgraced financier before the House Oversight Committee later this month. The plan was put in place after Comer rejected requests for a closed-door deposition and written testimony.

On Thursday, the former Secretary of State accused Comer of “moving the goalposts,” suggesting the committee chairman made a last-minute decision to have the couple’s depositions be video recorded.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction,” Hillary Clinton wrote in a Thursday X post.

In a follow-up post, the twice-failed presidential candidate challenged Comer to a “public” fight.

Epstein Document Dump Rattles Silicon Valley

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files from the Justice Department indicates that the late sex offender maintained wider and deeper connections in the tech industry than was previously known. The revelations are now causing fractures in the usually clubby world of Silicon Valley.

Emails and other documents show that Epstein was in contact with at least 20 prominent tech executives, investors and researchers, including some current CEOs, according to an NBC News review of a portion of the documents. In emails, they discussed a wide array of subjects, such as startup investments, the prospects of bitcoin, social gatherings, helicopter rentals and, in one case, negotiations over a corporate exit package.

Two tech billionaires, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, have been locked in a social media struggle for days since the documents were released, trading public insults on X as they have accused each other of having exercised poor judgment in connection with Epstein. Both men were already known associates of Epstein, and the documents released Friday included further details about their connections. Authorities have not accused either of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

On Tuesday night, Hoffman and Musk were still battling online. After Hoffman called for justice for Epstein’s victims, Musk taunted him, “While you’re at it, maybe you can help OJ ‘find the real killer,’” a reference to O.J. Simpson.

Hoffman jabbed back at Musk by posting a screenshot of an email in which Musk asked Epstein in 2012, “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” (Read more from “Epstein Document Dump Rattles Silicon Valley” HERE)

Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House

President Donald Trump is planning to install a statue of Christopher Columbus on the south side of the White House, sources told the Washington Post on Wednesday.

The statue will reportedly be a reconstruction of a statue unveiled by former President Ronald Reagan in Baltimore, Maryland, that had been dumped into the city’s harbor by Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020, according to the Post. Bill Martin, an Italian American businessman who helped recover and rebuild the original statue, said the sculpture is expected to be transferred from a Maryland warehouse to the White House in the coming weeks.

The White House said that Trump will continue to honor Columbus, emphasizing that the explorer is a hero.

“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. “And he will continue to be honored as such by President Trump.”

Trump has expressed staunch support for Columbus, in part by reinstating Columbus Day in honor of Italian Americans. In October, he signed a proclamation to commemorate Columbus’ life with “reverence and gratitude.” (Read more from “Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House” HERE)

GoFundMe for 300 Axed Washington Post Journalists Surpasses $250K on First Day

The Washington Post Guild created a GoFundMe for the more than 300 journalists that were laid off at the mainstay newspaper Wednesday morning — and were “bowled over” by the influx of donations from near and far.

The GoFundMe, organized by the guild and overseen by economics reporter Rachel Siegel, eclipsed $250,000 in donations Wednesday evening.

Siegel wrote that the funds will help the former staffers with “moving costs, visa expenses, childcare, healthcare, meals and more.”

“What has made The Post special for so long is the people at this company. How resourceful we are. How much we care for each other. And that will continue,” the fundraiser read.

Nearly 2,000 people have already pitched in as of Wednesday evening. The current goal is set at $350,000, but Siegel noted the fundraiser will remain open “at least for the next few days.” (Read more from “GoFundMe for 300 Axed Washington Post Journalists Surpasses $250K on First Day” HERE)

Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Plotting to Kill Trump in 2024

A man who plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course in September 2024, two months before the US election, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.

Ryan Routh, 59, was convicted in September of trying to kill then-candidate Trump, the second attempt on the billionaire’s life in the run-up to the vote that brought him back to the White House.

According to an AFP journalist in the courtroom, Judge Aileen Cannon handed down the sentence of life plus seven years after a 90-minute hearing, saying it was “to protect the public from future crime” committed by Routh.

“The evil is in you. Not in everybody else,” she told him.

Routh was arrested on September 15, 2024 after a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of a rifle poking from the bushes on the perimeter of the West Palm Beach golf course, where Trump was playing a round ahead of the November election.

Left-Wing Teachers Across the Country Are Forcing Kids to Protest ICE

Anti-American, left-wing teachers are forcing K-12 kids to join anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests all across the country as Democrats and foreign-funded activists continue to march in support of criminal illegal migrants.

A school teacher in Boston, for instance, proudly released a video showing what appears to be first grade children parading inside the classroom with anti-ICE signs, according to the MassDailyNews.

Teachers have a vested interest in Joe Biden-styled, open borders immigration because as more illegals enter the country, more students from families of illegals are fed into the school systems for free education. Hence more teachers are hired and local, state, and federal officials shovel more tax dollars at schools.

For instance, one Colorado school reported that tens of thousands of kids of illegal migrants flooded the state’s school during Biden’s presidency. The city of Denver lavished $356 million on illegals in 2024 alone, and a large portion of that went to city schools.

Teachers are celebrating the anti-ICE protests. Comedian Adam Carolla highlighted another left-wing teacher of very young children leading them to chant anti-ICE slogans:

Move On, Says Trump as Epstein Files Trigger Probe Into British Ambassador

US President Donald Trump made a fresh plea Tuesday for Americans to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, even as it left a prominent British politician facing a criminal probe on the other side of the Atlantic.

Former British ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson resigned from the upper house of parliament amid allegations he passed confidential information to late sex offender Epstein.

The fallout from the latest release of millions of documents linked to Epstein continued in the United States too, where former president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary will testify in Congress later this month. . .

“Nothing came out about me other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get on to something else like health care or something that people care about,” Trump said.

Trump added that it was “not a Republican, it’s a Democrat problem,” in a bid to turn the issue back to the Clintons, and away from the mention in the files of allies including his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and billionaire Elon Musk.
