After the Department of Justice announced they were investigating an alleged suicide letter signed by J. Epstein to  Larry Nassar,  it followed up confirming the FBI deemed the letter a  “FAKE.”  The letter, which claims “our President likes young nubile girls too”,  was one of the more incendiary files released in the DOJ Epstein file drop on Tuesday.   This latest back and forth has made the entire process even more confusing and frustrating, with the DOJ now eroding any trust in what we are reading or seeing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump has been inserting his name on just about everything these days, so we figured we’d beat him to the punch. All jokes aside, this week President Trump announced he is naming a new fleet of battleships after himself, calling them “the largest, deadliest and most versatile best looking warships anywhere on the world’s oceans.”  This of course comes on the heels of him adding his name to the front of the Kennedy Center, renaming the U.S. Institute of Peace to the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace," adding his likeness to the National Park Pass, a commemorative one dollar coin and the list goes on and on. What’s next? Oh, there’s plenty, and as many have pointed out, this is something only seen before in dictatorships and never before seen in the United States of America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Justice sent out a tweet before releasing more than 30,000 new documents from the Epstein files, saying some of the documents contain “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump.” The documents in fact, do contain damning documents from an apparent suicide note from Epstein to Nassar along with flight logs that show Trump on Epstein’s private plane more times than previously known, apparently with alleged Epstein victims. While the President is NOT accused of doing anything criminal, it is certainly raising a number of questions. Also, in today’s document dump, a jaw dropping email reportedly from former Prince Andrew to Ghislane Maxwell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Veteran 60 minutes correspondent Sharon Alfonsi wrote a private email to her colleagues about why she believes her segment on deplorable conditions for deported migrants was pulled at the 11th hour by new CBS Editor-In-Chief Bari Weiss. That email has now been made public, and in it, Alfonsi says her story was vetted, promoted and ready for air, when Weiss pulled it for so called “editorial” reasons.  Alfonsi isn’t buying it, saying the network’s decision is a “betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
