Kevin Spacey breaks down in tears as he reveals he doesn't have any money

and is being forced to sell his house after high-profile sexual assault court case

 

Kevin Spacey tonight breaks down in tears as he reveals he does not have any money and is being forced to sell his home.

 

The disgraced Hollywood actor tells Piers Morgan Uncensored that he is on the brink of being declared bankrupt after having to pay millions in legal fees to battle a high-profile sexual assault court case.

 

In the bombshell interview airing at 8pm on YouTube, Spacey, 64, reveals his home in Baltimore is being put up for auction as he no longer can afford to pay the bills.

 

Asked where he is living now, he says: 'So the answer to that question is, I'm not quite sure where I'm going to live now, but I have been in Baltimore since we started shooting House of Cards there.'

 

He has twice dodged bankruptcy since being cut off by Hollywood after allegations were made against the double Oscar winner of sexual misconduct in 2017.

 

Streaming giant Netflix also dropped Spacey for breach of contract. He was ordered in 2021 by an arbitrator to pay nearly $31 million to the studio that made the hit Netflix show, House of Cards.

 

But in February he agreed a settlement with Media Rights Capital (MRC) to pay $1 million.

 

And Spacey reveals in the interview with Mr Morgan he is virtually now penniless and owes 'many millions'.

 

'Well I mean, you have some sense of legal bills,' he says. 'I still owe a lot of legal bills that I have not been able to pay.'

 

Spacey was one of the most recognised faces in Hollywood until allegations of sexual misconduct were made.

 

In July last year Spacey faced trial at Southwark Crown Court over nine sexual offences charges in a case involving four men. He vehemently denied their claims and the jury acquitted him of all charges.

 

Spacey said he was 'humbled' after being cleared of sexual assault in a high-profile trial that saw Sir Elton John give evidence in his defence.

 

He was fired from Netflix series House of Cards in 2017 after being accused of molesting actor Anthony Rapp when he was 14 and Spacey was 26.

 

Spacey was found not liable during a civil trial in New York in 2022, with the jury concluding that the event had not taken place.

 

Spacey won two Academy Awards as best supporting actor for The Usual Suspects in 1996 and best actor in 2000 for American Beauty, which also secured him a Bafta for leading actor.

 

Last month he emotionally vowed that he 'won't give up on acting' after fresh allegations were made against him in a Channel 4 bombshell documentary.

 

The star accused the broadcaster of 'having an agenda' in deciding to go ahead with airing its two-part film, Spacey Unmasked.

 

The documentary featured previously unheard testimonies about the actor's alleged inappropriate behaviour.

 

Spacey appeared close to tears and his voice started to break during an emotional interview this week as he defiantly vowed not to give up on a return to Hollywood.

 

A raft of A-listers - including Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone - have rallied around the Oscar-winning star to call for an end to his 'seven year exile'.

 

Speaking to The Telegraph, he admitted he had behaved poorly and done inappropriate things in the past.

 

But he said he had been focused on growing and becoming a better person in the last seven years.

 

'If anyone thinks that I don't sorely regret the mistakes that I have made or the choices I've made or that I hurt anyone along the way then you aren't aware of the personal work that I have been doing for the last seven years,' he said.

 

Appearing to be close to tears, his voice started to break as he continued: 'If anyone thinks I'm going to give up on acting they have got me wrong on all counts.'

 

Defending Spacey, Sharon Stone said she 'can't wait to see Kevin back at work'.

 

'He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will,' she told the Daily Telegraph.

 

The Basic Instinct star, 66, said it was clear aspiring actors had 'wanted and want to be around him'.

 

Liam Neeson also gave a glowing testimony of Spacey's character.

 

'I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him. Kevin is a good man and a man of character,' he said.

 

'He's sensitive, articulate and non-judgemental, with a terrific sense of humour. He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly.'

Joe Biden speaks out on Hunter's conviction:

President says he is proud of son for battling addiction and accepts the three guilty verdicts in the federal gun case

 

President Joe Biden reacted to Hunter Biden being found guilty on all three federal gun charges by saying that he was 'proud' of his son for surviving drug addiction.

 

The president sent out a statement through the White House counsel's office shortly after the Delaware-based jury delivered a verdict.

 

The first son was found guilty on two counts of having completed a form falsely - lying about his sobriety - when he bought a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, while the third count established that he possessed a firearm while using narcotics.

 

'As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad,' the president reiterated. 'Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today.'

 

'So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery,' Biden continued. …

House Democrats step up to try to stop Project 2025 plans for a Trump White House

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Warning about the far-right Project 2025 agenda for a Donald Trump White House, a group of House Democrats has launched a task force to start fighting the proposal and stop it from taking hold if the Republican former president returns to power.

 

Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California is unveiling The Stop Project 2025 Task Force on Tuesday, the latest sign that congressional Democrats and outside groups are treating Trump’s campaign seriously in the expected rematch against Democratic President Joe Biden this fall.

 

“The stakes just couldn’t be higher,” Huffman told The Associated Press.

 

Huffman said the Project 2025 agenda will hit “like a Blitzkrieg” and lawmakers need to be ready.

 

“If we’re trying to react to it and understand it in real time, it’s too late,” he said. “We need to see it coming well in advance and prepare ourselves accordingly.”

 

The Democratic-led task force comes as groups on and off Capitol Hill are increasingly alarmed over Project 2025, a sweeping blueprint from the conservative Heritage Foundation that is preparing to quickly help staff a new GOP administration with plans for dismantling aspects of the federal government and installing loyalists for a second Trump term.

 

Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America, scoffed at the “unserious” effort and said the left is “in a frenzy” as Project 2025 tries to wrest control of the federal bureaucracy.

 

“Project 2025 will not be ‘stopped,’” Roberts said in a statement. He said the Democrats fighting Project 2025 are “more than welcome to try. We will not give up and we will win.”

 

While the Trump campaign has repeatedly said that outside groups do not speak for the former president, Project 2025’s 1,000-page proposal was drafted with input from a long list of former Trump administration officials who are poised to fill the top ranks of a potential new administration.

 

Core to the Project 2025 plan is ousting thousands of civil servants and replacing them with personnel from a database of applicants, an effort to reverse the setbacks of Trump’s first term, when many of his more extreme ideas were thwarted and blocked by those refusing to break norms or overextend presidential powers.

 

Huffman’s group is the latest to take on the Project 2025 proposal and plans for a Trump White House.

 

Last week, one of the nation’s leading civil rights organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union, announced it was preparing potential legal action to stop Trump’s campaign promise to launch mass deportations of immigrants on the first day of his presidency if elected. It’s the first of several memos the ACLU is rolling out, offering a blueprint on how it plans to respond to a second Trump or Biden term.

 

And others are detailing alleged threats to democracy if Trump’s attacks on the judicial system, plans to pardon those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and threats of vengeance on political enemies take hold.

 

Huffman’s group is made up of about a half-dozen House Democratic lawmakers in a loose coalition separate from party leadership. It plans to begin briefing fellow lawmakers about Project 2025, hold a forum on Capitol Hill and inform voters about its ideas.

 

The group hopes to provide a hub of information for lawmakers, voters and organizations about various policy proposals, including immigration, reproductive rights and others.

 

As a founder of the Freethought Caucus on Capitol Hill, Huffman said he has particularly been alarmed about a rise of Christian nationalism within GOP ranks and efforts to push more conservative theology into government.

 

“We were able to beat back some of the worst of this Christian nationalist agenda, this authoritarian agenda, in the first Trump presidency, because they didn’t really know what they were doing,” Huffman said. “The fact that they have been putting all of this forethought and research and planning into a second Trump presidency means we’ll be dealing with a much more formidable foe, if it comes to that this time around.”

At Menendez trial, businessman recounts alleged bribe to senator

 

NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) - A New Jersey businessman testified this week at U.S. Senator Bob Menendez's corruption trial that the lawmaker claimed to have "saved" the insurance broker, who bought Menendez's wife a $60,000 Mercedes-Benz, from criminal probes.

Star prosecution witness Jose Uribe told jurors he bribed Menendez by buying a car for the senator's then-girlfriend Nadine in 2019. Uribe said Nadine Menendez, who married Bob Menendez in 2020, had previously assured him she would relay Uribe's concerns about two insurance fraud probes to the senator.

During dinner the following year at a New Jersey restaurant called Segovia, Uribe said Menendez told him he found the "right people to speak to" - without specifying who.

"He said, 'I saved your ass twice - not once, but twice'," Uribe testified on Monday.

Menendez, 70, a three-term Democratic Senator running for re-election this year as an independent, has pleaded not guilty to 16 criminal charges including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent and obstruction.

The car purchase was among hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes - which also included cash, mortgage payments and gold bars - that federal prosecutors in Manhattan say Menendez and his wife accepted in exchange for political favors and aiding the governments of Egypt and Qatar.

Uribe pleaded guilty this year to fraud and bribery charges and is cooperating with prosecutors. He testified that he gave Nadine Menendez $15,000 in cash for her car down payment during a meeting in a restaurant parking lot in March 2019, and made monthly payments for the vehicle until the FBI asked him about them in 2022.

Earlier in the trial, Menendez's lawyers blamed his wife for concealing her financial dealings from him.

In a potential boost for his defense, Uribe testified that he never discussed the car payments directly with Menendez.

"I did not talk to Mr. Menendez about a bribe," Uribe said on Tuesday during cross-examination.

But under questioning from prosecutor Lara Pomerantz, Uribe said Nadine Menendez never asked him to keep the payments a secret from the senator, and said he had no reason to believe Bob Menendez did not know about them.

Uribe testified that he told Menendez the names of the people and companies close to him being investigated during a meeting in the senator's backyard on Sept. 5, 2019. He said Menendez wrote down the names on a sheet of paper brought to him by Nadine, whom he had summoned by ringing a bell and yelling, "mon amour" - French for "my love."

Nadine Menendez has pleaded not guilty. Her trial was postponed to July because she is being treated for breast cancer. Her husband's trial could last through June.

Sen. Roger Marshall: Biden Essentially ‘Working with Organized Crime’ via Border Policies

 

President Joe Biden is essentially “working with organized crime” via his border policies, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

 

Host Mike Slater asked Marshall about Biden’s immigration executive order, and Marshall said it is “too little too late.”

 

There’s more holes in this thing than Swiss cheese. And I actually think he’s greasing the skids for the cartel. It’s almost like he’s complicit in working with the cartel now to get more people over here. He is drawing this up. So you’re a cartel member. You can say we can do this, we can do that. Can you imagine telling everybody we’ve got 2,500 spots today?” he asked.

 

“We’ve sold 2,000 of them. What’s the bid? Why do I have for my next bid for the next 500? So you know, Joe Biden really is complicit. He’s working with organized crime, the President of the United States. This will make no dent in the situation down there,” he said.

 

“These people who come via safe mobility offices, do they count toward the 2,500 limit in Joe Biden’s executive order?” Slater asked, to which Marshall said this is like “voter registration” for Democrats.

 

“Think of this as voter registration for Joe Biden. He’s down in South America, Central America recruiting people to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats. We’re seeing these illegal aliens vote already here in D.C. as well as several states. But no, that’s the thing. If you look at the fine print of Joe Biden’s executive order, it’s 2,500 between legal ports of entry,” he said, meaning those coming by other means will not count toward that supposed limit.

 

“I really think even if you came on between the ports, if you’ve done the CBP One app, or if you’ve done the mobility or whatever they’re calling stations, then no that does not count at all. And again, so Joe Biden is just greasing the skids,” he said.

 

“At the end of the day, you know, he doesn’t even touch the probation issue which is accounted for two million illegals crossing the border. There’s two million got-aways here. I don’t see how this makes a dent at all,” Marshall added.

 

“I still think, even they follow this executive order … they still end up with two million people crossing the border every year and maybe more than that,” the senator said, explaining that Biden is doing it because of the polling.

 

“He sees that this is a political action. It’s not an executive action. It’s a political action. He sees he’s underwater, two to one on this issue. Maybe even worse than. … Americans are tired of the crime, the human trafficking. … We’re tired of seeing a Kansan die every day from fentanyl poisoning. The United States is tired of seeing 200 or 300 people dying every day from fentanyl poisoning. We’re sick and tired, and we’re not going to take it anymore. So, he sees the polling,” the senator said, describing Biden as in “panic mode.”

Jimmy Carter's grandson reveals the ex-president, 99, is 'no longer awake' daily

16 months into hospice care

 

immy Carter's eldest grandchild Jason said that the 99-year-old former president is no longer awake every day.

 

Nearly a year-and-a-half after entering end-of-life hospice care in February 2023, Carter's loved ones remain by their patriarch's side.

 

Jason Carter revealed that the latest decline began after the death of the 38th president's beloved wife Rosalynn in November 2023 at the age of 96.

 

'After 77 years of marriage… I just think none of us really understand what it's like for him right now,' Jason told Southern Living during a conversation this month. 'We have to embrace that fact, that there's things about the spirit that you just can't understand.'

 

'[He's] experiencing the world as best he can as he continues through this process,' Jason, 48, added.

 

He said Carter is not awake every day, but that his four children frequently visit – although they are unable to predict how alert he will be day to day.

 

Overall, Jason said that there has 'really been no change' in the Democrat and oldest living former president's health in recent months.

 

Even into his early 90s, Carter's baseline was very active. He was often seen building homes and teaching Sunday school at his Baptist church as recently as 2020.

 

The onetime commander-in-chief moved into hospice care 16 months ago at his home in Plains, Georgia that he built with Rosalynn in 1961.

 

'[Plains] is the place that has given him the greatest support and it is the only place where he would go through this part of his life,' Jason, who lives in Atlanta, said. 'That's his home in every way, and he really cherished that time and that support.'

 

The Carters deeded their property to the National Park Service – and when he dies they plan to turn their home into a museum.

 

Carter was last seen publicly at his wife's memorial events in November in a wheelchair and covered by a blanket but has largely remained out of view since deciding to terminate medical intervention.

 

He will be buried alongside her when he dies.

 

'I think the fact that he and my grandmother both came from that small town — it's a 600 person village, really — and it's not near any interstate and it is truly out in the country and it is a fundamental part of who he is and who he has been for his whole life,' Jason said.

 

'There is no other place in the world that he would be at peace other than Plains.'

 

'It is such an American story… to go to Plains and see the house that my grandparents built and lived in for all their time and came home to after being president,' the eldest Carter grandson said. 'It is a really incredible story to go from that little town to the White House and back again.'
