Bill Barr Says Trump Never Intervened In Epstein Case, No Evidence Of Crime
Former Attorney General William “Bill” Barr said he never saw any evidence that President Donald Trump intervened or committed a crime relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s case, a source familiar told the Daily Caller.
During Monday’s closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee, Barr testified Trump never offered any input or direction regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case or his death.
Barr cooperated fully in the deposition, responding to questions from both Republican and Democratic members and their staff, the source told the Caller.
Barr added that if any incriminating evidence against Trump existed, the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) would have already released it, the source stated. Barr also reiterated that he still believes Epstein died by suicide, according to the source.
Barr is the first of six former attorney generals — and the first of 10 individuals total — subpoenaed by House Oversight Chair James Comer.
Former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales each received letters outlining the focus of the investigation and explaining how their roles might relate to what they knew about the Epstein case.
The subpoenas also include former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) directors James Comey and Robert S. Mueller III. Hillary and former President Bill Clinton were also subpoenaed by Comer.
The committee spokesperson told the Caller Monday that it plans to withdraw its subpoena for Mueller, citing health issues that “preclude him from being able to testify.”

‘It’s quite eye-opening,’ New Kent County pair arrested for alleged child sex trafficking
Two women from New Kent County are currently behind bars after being arrested for child sex trafficking and exploitation.
The New Kent County Sheriff’s Office said an investigation lasting several months began after a tip was sent to Social Services involving the prostitution of a minor.
On Friday, Aug. 15, Victoria Creps, 27, and Jaiden Creps, 24, were arrested.
The pair are being charged with three felonies:
Prostitution, solicitation; commercial exploitation of a minor
Aiding prostitution or illicit sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 18
Commercial sex trafficking involving sex trafficking; prostitution, and commercial exploitation of a minor.
These charges add to a list of others from years prior for Victoria Creps, including petit larceny and assault of a family member.
Chief Deputy Joey McLaughlin with New Kent County Sheriff’s Office said a case like this is rare.
“It’s one of the first ones that we have had here in New Kent County, doesn’t happen everyday so it’s quite eye-opening,” McLaughlin said. “Kind of makes everyone realize that we do have some issues that we are trying to take care of here in the county and we want to eliminate it.”
The victim in this case and the two suspects know one another, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Piedmont Triad school teacher appears in court after being accused of sex crimes with students
A teacher who worked at two Piedmont Triad schools accused of sex crimes with students appears in court Monday.
After nearly a 10-month-long investigation, a teacher who has worked at two Piedmont Triad Schools accused of sex crimes with students appeared in court Monday.
Thirty-year-old William Villano is charged with two counts of indecent liberties with a student and two counts of sex acts with a student.
“Currently, we have two victims, not sure if there will be more that come from this or what that looks like,” said Brittany Beck, detective sergeant and case lead.
Five months after the investigation started, Guilford County Schools hired Villano as an English teacher at The Middle College at UNCG.
At the time he was hired, the accusations against him did not show up on his record.
"We were not able to square out the warrants until last Friday when we picked him up, so those warrants were not active when he got hired at his most recent position," Beck said.
Investigators say the encounters between Villano and the victims in Randolph County occurred bout online and in person.
When it comes to preventing cases like this, investigators are encouraging parents to stay involved with their child.
“That is so important, being aware of what’s out there and having that educational background to be able to go back and look and see what’s on your child’s phone," Beck said.
Villano is currently suspended from his current job with Guilford County Schools.
If convicted, he could face 47 months in prison for each count.

Ministers urge Netanyahu to reject ceasefire proposal: 'No mandate for partial deals'
Amid reports Hamas accepted the latest outline, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says halting the war would be 'a historic failure and a missed opportunity'
Far-right coalition members urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to reject a reported ceasefire deal with Hamas, insisting he has no mandate to accept a partial agreement and should continue military operations in Gaza.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir tweeted that “Netanyahu has no mandate to accept a partial deal.” He warned that halting the war now would be “a historic failure and a missed opportunity,” citing a previous incident in which Netanyahu allegedly ignored an ultimatum from U.S. President Donald Trump demanding the release of all hostages. In a video posted later, Ben-Gvir added: “The blood of our soldiers is not forfeit. We must go all the way, destroy Hamas.”
Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot echoed the warning on social media, saying that a partial deal would leave half of the hostages at risk, endanger Israeli troops in future operations, provide breathing room to Hamas and erode remaining international legitimacy.
By contrast, opposition MK Benny Gantz expressed support for negotiating a deal. “The government has a clear majority and a broad safety net to return the hostages. Netanyahu, this is not the time to hesitate—it’s time to make the right decisions for the people and Israel’s security,” Gantz said.
Netanyahu addressed the reports in Arab media, saying: “I, like you, hear the reports in the media, and from them you can see one thing—Hamas is under atomic pressure.”
Amid the ongoing debate, the government is expected to discuss increasing the defense budget on Tuesday, including billions of shekels earmarked for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Ben-Gvir opposed funding he said could reach Hamas, while treasury officials stressed that aid would go through distribution centers operated by international organizations and directly to civilians.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Hamas was only willing to discuss a hostage deal because of fears Israel intends to take over Gaza City. “Capturing the city will break Hamas,” Katz said, describing Gaza City as a center of military, governmental and symbolic weight. He added that cabinet decisions integrate military and diplomatic efforts with the aim of achieving war objectives while applying international pressure on Hamas.

Settlers establish new mobile homes in Palestinian neighborhood in Hebron
Civil Administration says caravans set up inside area under Israeli military control but without authorization; city’s Jewish community insists land is part of Jewish cemetery
Peace Now)
Two prefabricated buildings were recently established by Israeli settlers in the Palestinian neighborhood of Tel Rumeida in Hebron without authorization, causing concern over access to Palestinian institutions immediately adjacent to the new structures.
According to the Peace Now organization, which campaigns against the settlement movement, the two caravans were set up several weeks ago on a plot of land west of the Jewish cemetery in the neighborhood, and adjacent to a mosque on one side and a Palestinian girls’ high school on the other.
The organizations said that access to the school and the entrances to the mosque for Palestinian residents are now at risk.
The Civil Administration, the Defense Ministry department that manages civilian affairs in the West Bank, said the two caravans had been set up “without authorization and in contravention of the law.”
It added that “enforcement,” — meaning removal — would take place “in accordance with the operational situation assessment and the guidance of the political echelon.”
A spokesman for Hebron’s Jewish community insisted, however, that the land was inside the H2 area of the divided city, under Israeli military control, and was part of the same plot as the Jewish cemetery.
Peace Now acknowledged that the land was owned by Jews prior to Israel’s 1948 War of Independence and the Jordanian annexation of the West Bank.
But it said that the original map appended to the 1997 Hebron Agreement, which created the H1 and H2 designations, placed the plot inside the H1 area.
Meanwhile, the map featured on the Civil Administration’s website shows the site of the caravans to be inside H2, and the department’s position is that they were established within the boundaries of the H2 area, albeit without authorization.
Hebron was divided into two sections under the Hebron Protocol signed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat in January 1997.
H1 includes 80 percent of the city and lies under full Palestinian Authority control. The H2 zone includes the Jewish settlement of some 800 residents, along with another 200 yeshiva students, according to the Hebron Jewish community.
Some 200 Jews live in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood, alongside several thousand Palestinians, although the site of the new prefabricated structures is separate from the Jewish area of the neighborhood.
