The Senate has passed a sweeping piece of housing legislation that seeks to bolster the U.S. housing supply and lower costs for home-buyers in an overwhelming bipartisan vote.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who coauthored the Senate housing bill, celebrated its passage in the upper chamber on Thursday.

"The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will boost housing supply and bring down costs," said Warren in a statement.

Right-wing media commentator Tucker Carlson claims President Donald Trump's Department of Justice could be building a criminal case against him.

In a clip shared Saturday evening on X, Carlson said the CIA is "preparing some kind of criminal referral" against him to the Justice Department "on the basis of a supposed crime."

The former Fox News host claimed investigators had read his text messages and that the supposed probe relates to "talking to people in Iran before the war."

"The crime under consideration, apparently, would be the foreign agent act or something like that, acting as an agent of a foreign power," he said.

"The lost opportunities span the nearly two decades since Epstein was first caught paying underage girls for sex in Florida and cut a sweetheart deal that spared him serious prison time, according to a review of federal and state records, police reports and interviews with current and former officials. T

he 2008 agreement ended a federal investigation that found at least one allegation of abuse in New Mexico, where weak sex offender laws allowed Epstein to avoid registering with local authorities. The state didn't make human trafficking a crime until 2008, which left one less pathway to prosecution."

hmmmm.... who gave Epstein a sweetheart deal?

"Alex Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida who later served as Labor Secretary under President Trump, was the primary official responsible for the 2008 "sweetheart deal" given to Jeffrey Epstein.

This deal required Epstein to serve only 13 months in county jail, with work release privileges, and provided him with immunity from federal prosecution.

Immunity for Co-conspirators: The agreement famously extended immunity to unnamed "potential co-conspirators," which later hampered efforts to investigate those who aided Epstein.

Victims Not Consulted: A federal judge later ruled that this agreement violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act because Acosta's office did not inform or consult with the underage victims before cutting the deal."
