Hillary Clinton wants to testify in public

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrive ahead of the 60th inaugural ceremony on Jan. 20, 2025, at the Capitol in Washington. Melina Mara | Via Reuters Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday challenged Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to take the testimony of her and former President Bill Clinton about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in public and not in a closed session as those lawmakers plan. Hillary Clinton made the demand after she and Bill Clinton dropped their efforts to resist subpoenas to testify before that committee, whose Republican leadership had threatened a vote on holding them in contempt of Congress if they refused to appear. “For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith,” Hillary Clinton said in a post on X. “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.” Read more CNBC politics coverage “So let’s stop the games. If you want this …

Trump Says It ‘Bothers Me That Somebody is Going After Bill Clinton’ Amid Epstein Scandal

Trump Says It ‘Bothers Me That Somebody is Going After Bill Clinton’ Amid Epstein Scandal

Published by Sam Flores

US President Donald Trump said it “bothers” him that former President Bill Clinton is facing scrutiny and an order to testify about his past ties to the late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, who Trump infamously also had a relationship with. “It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton. See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton,” Trump told NBC News in a White House interview Wednesday. Asked what he likes about the former president, Trump answered: “I liked his behaviour towards me. I thought he got me, he understood me.” This expressed support came one day after Trump called it “a shame” that Clinton and his wife, Hillary, have been subpoenaed to testify about their ties to Epstein. Bill Clinton’s relationship with Epstein was documented in investigative files released by the Justice Department last week. The files include a shirtless photo of Clinton in a hot tub with someone that a DOJ official described as a “victim” of Epstein’s sexual abuse. He has denied wrongdoing and having any knowledge that …

Donald Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah Over Epstein Grammys Joke

Donald Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah Over Epstein Grammys Joke

Published by Sam Flores

The president has had his feelings hurt, and he intends to do something about it. After the 68th Grammy Awards, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to lash out at host Trevor Noah over a joke the comedian made at Trump’s expense, which involved both Jeffrey Epstein and the president’s recent obsession with Greenland. In his Truth Social post, Trump called the Grammy ceremony “virtually unwatchable” and threatened legal action against Noah: “I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.” Noah returned to host the Grammys for a sixth consecutive time on CBS. During the ceremony, Noah shared that it would be the Grammys’ last one on CBS—the event is moving to Disney+ and Hulu—and his last appearance as the show’s host as well, at least for the foreseeable future. After this disclosure, Noah exhibited a bit more of a devil-may-care attitude with his jokes, aiming one about the coveted song-of-the-year award at Trump and his well-documented relationship with deceased convicted sex offender Epstein. That prize, said Noah, …

Clintons refuse to testify in Epstein probe as Republicans threaten contempt charges

Published by Sam Flores

Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said they will refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena for them to testify in an investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons have slammed a Republican-controlled committee’s attempts as “legally invalid” as GOP lawmakers prepare contempt of Congress proceedings against them. In a letter released on social media Tuesday, the Clintons told the chair of the House Oversight Committee, Republican congressman James Comer, that he’s on the cusp of a process “literally designed to result in our imprisonment”.

Epstein Files Photos: 11 Disgusting Things From the Latest Document Drop

Epstein Files Photos: 11 Disgusting Things From the Latest Document Drop

Published by Sam Flores

When thousands of new documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation were released on Friday evening, journalists and citizen investigators across the nation were greeted by one of the most reassuring phrases in the English language: “CSAM NOT SCANNED.” CSAM, an abbreviation for child sexual abuse material, is the current law enforcement term for what might previously be known as child pornography. Seeing the term dozens of times across the 3 gigabytes of new Epstein material is a sign that the FBI has more specific documentation of the late abusers’ crimes, but the bureau will not be disseminating it. The remaining array of photographs and heavily redacted documents provide more insight into Epstein’s relationships with celebrities, along with detritus from the FBI’s years-long investigation. The 2019 searches of his townhome on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and compound on Little St. James island in the Caribbean yielded numerous pictures, and those have been made public with very few redactions. In these images, framed photos presumably showing victims are obscured. The releases also contain numerous photos from Epstein’s …

U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein appears in a photograph taken for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services’ sex offender registry March 28, 2017 and obtained by Reuters July 10, 2019. New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services | Handout | Reuters The Department of Justice on Friday released some — but not all — of its investigative files about Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex predator. The release came on the deadline set by the recently signed Epstein Files Transparency Act for the DOJ to release all of the files. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who led the effort that forced a vote on the bill that became that law, said that the DOJ’s production of the files “grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law.” The DOJ’s website features a new page titled “Epstein Library,” which has a search box to look for keywords in the newly released files. The material included hundreds of photographs, some of which featured Epstein and his former girlfriend and convicted accomplice, …
