"House Democrats' report says DOJ covering up evidence of Trump's role in alleged Epstein abuse

"Donald Trump says he knew Jeffrey Epstein just like everybody in Palm Beach knew him.' Not exactly," House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in a statement.

::

"Evidence involving 11 women tells a completely different and far more damning story about their relationship and the abuse of young women and girls that took place in their network."

Based on survivor accounts, FBI records, documents released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act and interviews conducted by the committee's staff, the report alleges that Trump may have been a co-conspirator in Epstein's alleged trafficking and abuse of young women in the 1990s, along with Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent who served as a U.S. special envoy for global partnerships until earlier this month.

The report cites FBI records that describe several young models having sexual relationships with Zampolli or connections to his modeling agency who said they were later sexually assaulted by Epstein.

Zampolli has said he represented Melania Knauss " now Melania Trump " and organized her first meeting with Trump, but the House Judiciary Committee report contradicts that claim, saying a former longtime Epstein associate told the FBI that Epstein made the introduction."

"According to the report, which cites multiple FBI reports included in the Epstein files, Zampolli arranged U.S. visas for young female models before they met Epstein.

One FBI report mentioned that Zampolli arranged an 18-year-old model's visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein's house, where Epstein allegedly raped her.

Zampolli himself has also been accused of rape and sexual assault in a separate case brought by model Victoria Drake, who alleges in an ongoing civil lawsuit that Zampolli drugged and raped her in 2023."

"Judge Jesse Furman ordered that Comey, who is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, be retroactively reinstated to her job as an assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York.

The judge also ordered that she receive back pay from July 16 through December 20, 2025, when he inferred that Comey accepted another job, in the ruling in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Furman, in his ruling for Maurene Comey in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, rejected the DOJ's arguments that then-Attorney General Pam Bondi could remove a federal prosecutor "at will" and without cause, and that current AG Todd Blanche could ratify that act after the fact.

Furman also rejected the DOJ's argument that even if the Civil Service Reform Act requires removal of a prosecutor for cause, an attorney general's firing of her constituted an implicit determination that she was removed "for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the service."

"The Court need not dwell long on Defendants' second statutory argument justifying
Comey's removal," Furman said, referring to that claim. "That is because the argument borders on frivolous."

The judge said the DOJ all but admitted that its argument that the attorney general had power to fire Comey under Article II of the Constitution sought "to overturn nearly two centuries of Supreme Court precedent."

"This Court, however, is bound to follow the Supreme Court's precedents unless and until the Supreme Court overturns them," Furman wrote."

"This song was written and sung by Dave Mason, rather than Steve Winwood who did most of the singing for the band. Interestingly, Dave said it was the first song he wrote and that it was like a nursery rhyme. He said he had not tried LSD at the time he wrote the song (many thought it was influenced by that drug)."

Fake Videos Targeting James Talarico Linked to Russian Operatives

:Oct 23, 2026 #MoreFromThom

A dubious video shared widely on X purports to show a former student of James Talarico accusing the Democratic US Senate candidate of sexual assault.

But the man in the likely AI-altered clip does not resemble the Texan he claims to be, and researchers said the distribution of the unfounded allegation has the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign that previously pushed a similar narrative about then-vice presidential nominee Tim Walz in 2024."

Elon Musk has spent a staggering $445 million to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms.

That dwarfs the $290 million he spent in 2024. But this time around, Republicans aren't putting him center stage.

Why?"
