US Justice Department will release Epstein files within 30 days, Bondi says. Well, that’s what’s being reported, isn’t it? It seems like a pretty bold statement, considering the history of this whole situation. The implication is a trove of documents – the “Epstein files” – will be made public within the next month. But, honestly, a lot of us are approaching this with a hefty dose of skepticism, and that’s understandable.
US Justice Department will release Epstein files within 30 days, Bondi says, yet there’s a real question of what “release” actually means. It’s hard not to immediately think about the potential for redactions.… Continue reading
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett believes that the optics surrounding Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein are concerning, especially given reports of White House efforts to prevent the release of Epstein’s FBI files. Crockett argues that if Trump had nothing to hide, he would support the full release of these files, despite previously campaigning on doing so, and later reversing course. Furthermore, Crockett suggests that the emails exchanged between Epstein and author Michael Wolff, indicating potential leverage over Trump, add to the suspicion. Crockett believes Trump’s resistance to the file’s release strongly implies that there is more information he is trying to conceal.

NielsenIQ BookData reports that Sarah Ferguson’s children’s book, “Flora And Fern: Kindness Along The Way,” has been withdrawn from sale at the publisher’s request. Originally slated for an October release, the book’s availability was pushed back to November on Amazon but has since been removed from the platform. Neither Ferguson’s representatives nor the publisher, New Frontier Publishing, have offered any comment on the matter.

Following the successful passage of a bill forcing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, the White House intends to scrutinize Democrats’ connections to the disgraced financier. Anonymous White House officials stated that Democrats who sought to use the issue to criticize President Trump will regret it. This strategy includes highlighting relationships, such as the one between Epstein and Bill Clinton, and raising questions about figures like Stacey Plaskett. This move comes as President Trump is asking the Justice Department to investigate Epstein’s ties to specific Democrats and financial institutions, shifting the focus away from his own associations.

Boebert yells at Republicans on the House floor after the censure of a Democrat fails, and the whole scene just screams… well, a lot. It seems the House was buzzing, not always in a good way, over a failed attempt to censure Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett. Plaskett, a Democrat, was apparently caught up in some correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, the now-deceased financier with a dark history. The Republicans were pushing for her censure, and when that motion didn’t get enough support, things got interesting.
Boebert, a Republican representative known for her… let’s call it “spirited” approach to politics, was not pleased. Reports indicate that she cheered and yelled on the House floor, clearly voicing her frustration with the outcome.… Continue reading

Mark Epstein, brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein, has claimed that Republicans are actively “sabotaging” the forthcoming Epstein files by removing Republican names to protect themselves. He alleges that a facility in Winchester, Virginia is being used to sanitize the files, though he does not directly accuse Donald Trump of colluding. Epstein believes that the files contain damaging information on Trump, who has been associated with his brother, potentially enough to “cancel the election” according to Epstein. Though Trump has encouraged the release of the files, he has not moved to release them unilaterally, and Mark Epstein has accused the FBI of orchestrating a cover-up.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, after initially opposing and delaying the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, voted in favor of the bill following pressure from former President Trump.

Ultimately, the bill’s passage appears imminent, with Trump expected to sign it into law, despite Johnson’s continued reservations about its contents.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed a strong desire for the release of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, distrusting the current administration’s handling of the matter. During an interview, Schumer used profanity to emphasize his distrust of the Department of Justice and other officials. This push for transparency follows a vote in the House, supported by nearly all Republicans, to release the Epstein files after a previous disagreement within the party. The renewed focus on the Epstein case stems from the DOJ’s acceptance of the circumstances surrounding his death and Trump’s reaction.
