Epstein files ‘will make you sick’ – US Attorney General

Pam Bondi has explained the delay in releasing the sex trafficker’s client list and other classified documents.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced plans to begin releasing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case, including the deceased sex trafficker’s list of contacts, alleged clients, and flight logs to his private island, “hopefully” as early as Thursday.

Epstein, a financier who mingled with the rich and famous for years, allegedly introduced numerous young women – some of whom were underage – to his powerful acquaintances and flew them to his private Caribbean island aboard his jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express.” He was arrested in 2019 and died in his Manhattan jail cell later that year, with his death officially ruled a suicide.

Evidence related to his case remained classified even after his death, with media reports suggesting that the FBI had found records potentially containing compromising material on his associates.

President Donald Trump pledged to release the files as part of a broader effort to declassify high-profile cases. Bondi stated that the Epstein files had been “sitting on her desk for review” since last week, emphasizing that Trump “doesn’t make empty promises.”

“There are well over – this will make you sick – 200 victims… well over 250, actually. So we have to make sure their identity is protected, and their personal information,” Bondi told Fox News on Wednesday, explaining the delay.

The publicly known list of Epstein’s acquaintances includes prominent figures such as former US President Bill Clinton, billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and Britain’s Prince Andrew. Trump also personally knew Epstein but has denied ever visiting his private island, maintaining that he cut ties with him in the 1990s – years before the financier’s first arrest for soliciting prostitution in 2006.

Trump’s declassification effort extends beyond Epstein’s case. A newly established task force, led by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, aims to release documents related to a wide range of high-profile topics, including the 9/11 attacks, the origins of COVID-19, UFOs, and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

Tulsi Gabbard labels CNN ‘propaganda arm’ of spies

27 Feb, 2025 02:04

The US director of national intelligence has said the network’s anonymous CIA sources are exactly the people “we need to root out”

Newly confirmed US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has accused CNN of acting as a “propaganda arm” for disloyal intelligence agents, calling the network’s report on potential retaliation by dismissed spies an “indirect threat” to President Donald Trump’s administration.

As part of Trump’s broader effort to downsize and restructure the federal government, the Central Intelligence Agency has recently offered so-called buyouts to its agents. In a report published on Monday, CNN, citing unnamed sources, claimed that some senior CIA officers were “quietly discussing” how the dismissals “risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.”

“I am curious about how they think this is a good tactic to keep their job,” Gabbard told Fox News on Tuesday.

“They are exposing themselves, essentially, by making this indirect threat – using their propaganda arm, CNN, that they’ve used over and over again – to reveal their hand,” she continued. “Their loyalty is not to America, not to the American people or the Constitution; it is to themselves.”

She stressed that these disgruntled employees are “exactly the kinds of people we need to root out, get rid of, so that the patriots who do work in this area, who are committed to our core mission, can actually focus on that.”

Gabbard also claimed that many within the intelligence community had reached out to her personally, expressing support for Trump’s efforts to “clean house” and refocus on the core mission of serving the American people.

A former US congresswoman from Hawaii, Gabbard rose to national prominence in 2016 when she resigned as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to endorse Bernie Sanders for president. She later ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, advocating against US military interventions abroad, which she argued are harmful to service members like herself and detrimental to national interests. As tensions with the Democratic Party escalated, Gabbard left the party in 2022. After two years as an independent, she joined the Republican Party and endorsed Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump’s nomination of Gabbard for the top intelligence role in November sparked criticism from establishment figures, who labeled her a security risk. Despite the backlash, she was confirmed earlier this month by a 52-48 Senate vote, with only one Republican, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, opposing her appointment.

In January, the Senate also confirmed another Trump nominee, John Ratcliffe, as director of the CIA in a 74-25 vote. Ratcliffe, a former Texas congressman and ex-director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term, is known for his skepticism of intelligence agencies and his criticism of investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Mystery Disease Kills over 50 Congolese After Children Ate a Bat

26 Feb 2025

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) said Monday that an outbreak of a mysterious disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has killed 53 people since it began on January 21.

The outbreak appears to have begun after three children in the village of Boloko ate a bat.

Regional medical officials described the mystery illness as a haemorrhagic fever, like Ebola and the Marburg virus, but it has characteristics distinct from those infamous diseases. Tests of the victims came up negative for Ebola, Marburg, and yellow fever.

The new disease is fast-moving and frequently lethal. Regional doctors said the interval between first symptoms and death has been averaging 48 hours. The early symptoms include vomiting, high fever, and internal bleeding.

As of February 15, 431 cases of the disease had been confirmed across the DRC’s Equateur province, a vast and lightly populated region along the Congo River. The fatality rate of the outbreak works out to 12.3 percent.

W.H.O. noted that the “remote location and weak healthcare infrastructure” of the area increased the risk of disease transmission.

The initial outbreak in the village of Boloko was followed by infections in a nearby village called Danda, and then a much larger outbreak in the village of Bomate.

Investigators believe the first three cases were a trio of children under age 5 who became sick after eating the carcass of a bat. Bats have been fingered as suspects in the murky origins of the Wuhan coronavirus, among other diseases.

The three children who ate the bat died between January 10 and 13, and were reportedly bleeding from their noses and vomiting blood before they succumbed to the disease. Four more children between the ages of 5 and 18 in Boloko died within the next two weeks, by which time the larger secondary outbreak in Bomate was underway.

Pending further tests, W.H.O. said it could not be certain if the two outbreaks were directly related, but called for “immediate high-level intervention” to be sure the mysterious illness does not spread further.

Watch Live: Senate Hearing on Combatting Drug Trafficking

26 Feb 2025

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation holds a hearing on combatting drug trafficking on Wednesday, February 26.

“The Biden administration turned a blind eye to the deadly connection between their open border policies and illegal drug trafficking. Under the leadership of President Trump, the days of open U.S. borders and cartels operating with impunity are over,” Chairman Sen. Ted Cruz stated.

“This hearing will explore how Congress can assist the Trump administration in bringing the fight to dangerous cartels that threaten the safety of the American people, our security, and our way of life,” he continued. “The Commerce Committee will hear from experts what tools the Coast Guard needs to dismantle this dangerous drug trade that’s fueling a crisis in our nation.”

Official Democrat Party Account Posts AI-Generated ‘Audio’ of Donald Trump Jr

26 Feb 2025

An official Democrat Party social media account pushed a completely AI-fabricated audio claiming to reveal pro-Russia statements from Donald Trump, Jr. before quietly deleting the post.

The ironically-named “@factpostnews” account, the official rapid response X page for the Democrats that claims to hold “Trump and MAGA extremists accountable,” posted this fake podcast clip and attributed it to President Donald Trump’s eldest son:

“I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind picking Ukraine as an ally when Russia is the other option. I mean, just think about it. Massive nuclear power, loaded with natural resources everyone needs, literally the biggest country on the planet,” the fake Trump said in the AI audio clip.

“And, haha, there’s Ukraine, which has Chernobyl and some radiation-proof dogs. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is like ‘Oh yeah, this is definitely the ally we need. Let’s dumb all our money into them.'”

The clip ended with, “Honestly, if anything, the U.S. should’ve been sending weapons to Russia.”

While @factpostnews deleted the post without a retraction or apology, it was archived at 23,000 views after being up for hours on Wednesday.

Trump did not directly respond to the fraudulent clip, but re-shared a post from Republican strategist Andrew Surabian that called it a “100 percent fake AI generated audio”:
