The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

I’ve talked with Maria pretty regularly for 6 years now. Her story has remained consistent. Here is what she told us back in 2019.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

So the president designates groups of unnamed and unknown people as “terrorists”, then the Secretary of Defense decides who fits under that extremely broad definition, then the US military kills them, and that’s all we are allowed to know.

Just in case you’re wondering… the VA is already understaffed.
Exclusive: Trump’s Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month. The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.
