Trump responds to Epstein 'scam'

Trending Politics:

Responding to pressure from his base, President Donald Trump moved swiftly Thursday night to unseal additional documents in the Epstein files, directing U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to explore what else may be releasable to the public.

The action amounts to a stunning reversal by Trump after two weeks of relentless blowback to a decision by Bondi and the U.S. Justice Department to effectively close down the investigation and not pursue any further charges in the case.

Bondi is expected to ask a federal judge on Friday to authorize the release of grand jury testimony, which may shed new light on victim statements, evidence against Jeffrey Epstein, and the identities of any powerful individuals in his orbit.

Trump found himself on the receiving end when the Wall Street Journal reported on a “bawdy” birthday letter he allegedly sent Epstein in 2003 with a crude doodle of a naked woman and an unsigned poem wishing his friend “many secrets” in the years ahead. The president is quoted in the story denying every claim and threatening to sue the news outlet — and perhaps even its owner, Rupert Murdoch.

Citing “the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump declared he has “asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.”

“This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”
...

This looks like an attempt to call the bluff of the Democrats who have been alleging Trump's involvement with Epstein.  Trump has recently successfully challenged other assertions about him.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
