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.

Many of us have already received death threats and other threats of harm. We are bracing for these to escalate, they said. We ask every federal and state law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over these threats to investigate them and protect us. They also warned that there have been attempts to blame the victims for their own or each other's abuse.

The more than 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein emails released earlier this month by the House Oversight Committee have been enough to prompt more investigations into the convicted child sex offender and the people around him, like former Harvard president and OpenAI board member Larry Summers. Now, Luke Igel and Riley Walz have reformatted the source documents into a more familiar format for anyone looking into them by copying the Gmail inbox on a website called "Jmail."

The congressman's bill directing the U.S. Department of Justice to disclose the records from its investigations of convicted child sex trafficker and rapist Jeffrey Epstein passed the House by a 427-1 vote on Tuesday. Hours later, the Senate passed it unanimously. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed Khanna's bill. Getting any legislation through both chambers and then signed by the president is hard enough when you're in the majority party.

Defending herself against censure on the House floor on Tuesday night, Plaskett framed Epstein as a constituent and argued that the text exchange came in February 2019, months before the federal investigation into him was public knowledge. Epstein, however, had been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution 11 years prior having served a jail sentence in 2008. The censure attempt narrowly failed in a 209-214 vote.

I would say this tranche is medium-revealing, in that a lot of people are expecting some kind of smoking gun that takes down some prominent person they've heard of. In actuality, the messages are a really good peek into how Epstein was operating toward the end of his career. His strategy of coordinating with Steve Bannon and Michael Wolff in terms of rehabilitating himself and coordinating with Bannon on political projects is really interesting.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump signed a bill ordering the Department of Justice to release the case files on the millionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Or, at least, that's what he said he did, 24 hours after the bill was overwhelmingly approved by both the House and the Senate. The U.S. president chose to sign it without witnesses or the usual ceremony he favors in such cases.

Harry Beller isn't one of the boldfaced names who can be found all over Jeffrey Epstein's social calendar and emails, like former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, or Prince Andrew. But for years, Beller was entrusted with managing some of the most delicate parts of Epstein's financial life. Beller was part of a tight-knit team working for Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Congress released a cache of Jeffrey Epstein's email threads. For the Wall Street Journal, Brian Whitton, John West, and Kara Dapena show name drops through a series of beeswarm charts, with one dot per email thread.

It's one outrage in days full of outrageous material. Quiet, piggy, Donald Trump told a female reporter in a press gaggle, pointing his finger at her angrily. It wasn't the first time not even the hundredth time the US president has attacked the media. And it's hard for any storyline to break through the administration's flood the zone strategy, much less one like this. Nothing seems to stick.
