Zelenskyy agreed that Putin is trying to trick Trump, seeking to prevent further sanctions.

Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor involved in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, has filed a lawsuit alleging her politically motivated dismissal. The lawsuit claims the firing, which occurred without explanation shortly before the Trump administration made a deal with Maxwell, was a violation of due process. Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey and a prosecutor on cases involving Maxwell and Sean “Diddy” Combs, asserts the termination was retaliatory due to her father’s adversarial relationship with the former President. The timing of her firing raises questions, especially in light of the subsequent meeting between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Maxwell, who praised Trump. The lawsuit names several defendants, including the Department of Justice and the Executive Office of the President, seeking reinstatement through a jury trial.

Trump’s exaggerated figure vastly surpasses even global drug-related deaths reported by the WHO. This is not the first time Trump has misrepresented drug death statistics, which has drawn criticism and mockery.
