In a statement released on Friday, House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) threatened to pursue contempt of Congress proceedings against the Clintons if they continue to refuse to testify in the committee's Jeffrey Epstein probe. The warning comes after months of stalled negotiations between the committee and attorneys for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom were subpoenaed this summer as part of a bipartisan inquiry into the convicted sex trafficker's network.
First it was announced that a grant of 18m would be provided by the Welsh Labour government to help renovate the Racecourse Ground, which is unusual, public money to a private entity, but justified as part of a wider regeneration. And second, Wrexham's co-owners, the TV guys, Rob and Ryan, announced the sale this week of a minority stake to Apollo Sports Capital, which is owned by Apollo, a US hedge fund.
Democrats on the House oversight committee have published 19 new photos from the 95,000 they have received from Jeffrey Epstein's estate today. In the latest drop, there are pictures of Bill Clinton alongside the late sex-offender and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. There are also pictures of Donald Trump and Epstein at social events, and even a picture of the president on board a plane, sitting beside a woman whose face has been redacted.
In South Park's The Crap Out, Satan was finally ready to give birth to his and Trump's baby while the president was scheming, along with Vice President JD Vance with whom he's also having an affair on the show to get Peter Thiel out of jail so he can help kill the antichrist baby. The episode also featured the comedy's long-running version of Jesus Christ, who is now a guitar-picking guidance counselor down on life and luck.
Those emails aren't the entirety of the communications between her and Epstein. Epstein's estate is keeping secret 277 additional emails between him and Ruemmler, saying they are protected by attorney-client confidentiality. Many of those emails contain discussions of lawsuits by women who accused Epstein of sexual assault, according to a court filing made public this week. The document, a 500-page list of emails the estate claims are privileged, indicates that Ruemmler gave Epstein legal advice or otherwise acted as his attorney.
When I was on the floor for those that don't know how it works basically they decided to bring this privilege motion up, and they decided that they wanted to kick [Rep.] Stacey [Plaskett] off of her committees because she had received a donation from Jeffrey Epstein. I had maybe 20 minutes. We researched the FEC, and because I like to speak with specificity, that's kind of what comes with being an attorney.
In 2017, Julie K. Brown, a journalist for the Miami Herald, was waiting to hear back about a job application at The Washington Post while watching in horror as the Senate confirmed Alex Acosta, nominated by Donald Trump, as secretary of labor. She knew all too well who this man was the former U.S. attorney in South Florida who, in 2008, agreed to bury the first trial against a multimillionaire named Jeffrey Epstein, accused of abusing dozens of minors at his Palm Beach mansion.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
Well, look, we've been demanding a complete release of the file, and now they wanted to discipline her, censure her because she'd engaged in that text exchange with a convicted criminal. Of course, our Republican colleagues engage in text exchanges all the time with Donald Trump, who has 34 felony criminal offenses to his name. So I don't know exactly what she's being charged with there,
[Trump] made something very political out of something that could have been really a beautiful moment for our history and for women and for survivors everywhere. He is sort of missing the point entirely because this really should have been a day to celebrate all the achievements of all the survivors that led the charge in this.
Jennings joined Patrick Bet-David on the PBD Podcast on Friday where Jennings roasted Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and others over their public statements about Epstein. Jennings pointed to Crockett as evidence of Democrats' desperation on the subject. The Republican commentator pointed to Crockett recently speaking on the House floor where she said a Jeffrey Epstein had made political donations to Republicans like Lee Zeldin, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. The congresswoman quickly found out the Epstein she was referring to was not actually the late billionaire, who died in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges.
