The reports of Eric Adams’ potential exit from the political scene are unsurprising, given his past association with Donald Trump and the dismissal of his corruption case by the Justice Department. This favor, however, has not shielded Adams from further controversy, as his former advisors and liaisons face corruption charges, and former NYPD officers are suing him. This situation has led to a decline in his campaign’s popularity, with recent polls placing him in a distant third place. Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo has also shown signs of courting Trump, seeking rhetorical support against his opponent.

Following pressure from Epstein’s survivors, Republican Representatives Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene have indicated a willingness to use constitutional immunity to publicly name individuals allegedly involved in Epstein’s abuse. This comes after survivors announced they were compiling their own list of alleged abusers, fueled by the Trump administration’s assertion that a “client list” did not exist. These representatives are protected under the “speech or debate clause,” allowing them to make such accusations on the House floor without legal repercussions. A discharge petition, initiated by Massie, aims to force a vote on releasing all related files, though it still needs more signatures to be successful.

Epstein survivors may release unofficial client list if Justice Department stalls – this is a really complex and charged situation, isn’t it? The idea that survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse are contemplating releasing their own list of alleged clients, if the Justice Department doesn’t act, is generating a lot of strong reactions. It’s understandable why people are saying that if the victims themselves compile the list, it’s about as “official” as it gets, which highlights a fundamental distrust in the existing legal and governmental processes. There’s a palpable sense that the Justice Department is dragging its feet, and the survivors feel compelled to take matters into their own hands to seek transparency.… Continue reading

During a press conference held by Jeffrey Epstein’s victims on Capitol Hill, a White House-organized flyover briefly interrupted the event. This flyover, intended to honor a fallen Polish air force pilot, coincided with the victims sharing their accounts, including survivor Chauntae Davies’ statements about Epstein’s close relationship with Donald Trump, which was a point of pride for him. As the planes performed ceremonial maneuvers, Davies was forced to pause her statements about Epstein’s friendship with Trump, who was simultaneously meeting with the President of Poland. Trump later dismissed the ongoing focus on the Epstein files as a “Democratic hoax.”
