Trump appeared to raise his middle finger and repeatedly say fk you!' to worker TJ Sabula at a Ford-150 plant in Dearborn Tuesday when the union man called him a pedophile protector during a presidential visit to offer assurances about the nation's economy. Sabula's accusation changed the focus to the Justice Department's continued delays in releasing files regarding its long-running investigation of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Bill Clinton did not show for a Tuesday morning deposition with the House Oversight Committee. He and his wife wrote a letter to Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) explaining they will not comply with subpoenas related to late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time, the Clintons wrote in their letter.

Reid Hoffman doesn't do much in half measures. He cofounded LinkedIn, of course, and helped bankroll companies including Meta and Airbnb in their startup days. He has also fashioned himself, via books, podcasts, and other public appearances, as something of a public intellectual-a pro-capitalist philosopher who still insists that tech can be a force for good. Most recently, Hoffman has emerged as one of Silicon Valley's most prominent defenders of artificial intelligence.

Mandelson claimed he was not aware of Epstein's abuse of women and girls and was "kept separate" from that part of Epstein's life as he is gay. "Possibly some people will think because I am a gay man... I wasn't attuned to what was going on. I don't really accept that," he said. "I think the issue is that because I was a gay man in his circle I was kept separate from what he was doing in the sexual side of his life."

The legislation, approved by the Council in November, carved out an 18-month "lookback" window for victims to file claims against abusers as well as institutions that may have shielded perpetrators from prosecution, even if the statute of limitations has lapsed. It would also allow plaintiffs to revive hundreds of cases that had been previously dismissed, including claims against the estate of now-deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
