The reversal was jarring, coming after a relentless campaign in which Trump repeatedly tried to drag Bill Clinton into the Epstein scandal, claiming again and again that Clinton visited the island 28 times. Social media erupted over Trump's comments on the Clintons, especially Hillary. <p>"He's freaking out if he's talking nice about a lady that he's wanted in jail for practically his entire political career," a Threads user pointed out. <p>Another agreed, "They are going to take him down." <p>And this gleeful comment, "They're coming for you Orange boy," with three laughing emojis, above a post on X by Hillary Clinton. <p>"He thinks he can show love to the Clintons and get out of this. Lmao," another mocked. <p>The following day, Trump doubled down on his sudden praise of the Clintons, telling NBC host Tom Llamas that he was "bothered" by people going after Bill Clinton and his wife. <p>But with just two blistering posts, the former first lady knocked Trump back on his heels and set the stage for a showdown that could make him regret every time he threw her husband under the bus " a reminder that a couple days of forced niceties won't undo years of bad blood. <p>"For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction," Clinton stated in one X post on Thursday, Feb. 5. <p>In her second post, Clinton called the upcoming deposition "games" and took direct aim at House Oversight Committee chair and Tennessee Republican James Comer. <p>"So let's stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let's have it"in public. You love to talk about transparency. There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there," she promised.

Elizabeth Shapiro, a top Justice Department official, said SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from using their official positions for political purposes. <p>Shapiro's previously unreported disclosure, dated Friday, came as part of a list of "corrections" to testimony by top SSA officials during last year's legal battles over DOGE's access to Social Security data. They revealed that DOGE team members shared data on unapproved "third-party" servers and may have accessed private information that had been ruled off-limits by a court at the time. <p>Shapiro said the case of the two DOGE team members appeared to undermine a previous assertion by SSA that DOGE's work was intended to "detect fraud, waste and abuse" in Social Security and modernize the agency's technology. <p>"SSA believed those statements to be accurate at the time they were made, and they are largely still accurate," Shapiro wrote, adding "At this time, there is no evidence that SSA employees outside of the involved members of the DOGE Team were aware of the communications with the advocacy group. Nor were they aware of the Voter Data Agreement.'" <p>Shapiro, a longtime DOJ veteran, said it's not yet clear whether either of the two DOGE team members " who are not identified in her filing " actually shared data with the advocacy group, which is also unidentified. But she said emails "suggest that DOGE Team members could have been asked to assist the advocacy group by accessing SSA data to match to the voter rolls."
