 Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson declined to weigh in on President Donald Trump's recent suggestion that Republicans should nationalize U.S. elections, a proposal that has drawn bipartisan criticism and intensified debate ahead of the 2026 midterms. During an interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Trump said he would like Republicans to "take over" and "nationalize" voting, citing longstanding and unsubstantiated concerns about election fraud. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously told Newsweek that Trump was referring to the SAVE Act, legislation that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

President Donald Trump said he has learned that his administration might need to take "a little bit of a softer touch" in its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, following the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents last month. Trump's comments come amid mounting backlash, including from some Republican lawmakers, over the Department of Homeland Security's response to the shootings and its broader handling of operations in Minneapolis. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both Democrats, called the withdrawal a positive first step but urged the Trump administration to end the remaining federal presence as soon as possible. After Pretti's shooting, Trump removed Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino from overseeing the Minneapolis operation and placed Homan in charge, calling him "tough but fair" and saying he would report directly to the president.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Lawyers representing hundreds of alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein have asked two federal judges in New York to order the Department of Justice (DOJ) to temporarily remove its public Epstein files website, warning that repeated redaction failures have exposed the victims' identities. In a letter, attorneys Brittany Henderson and Brad Edwards urged U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer to order an immediate takedown of the DOJ-hosted Epstein materials. "The Department of Justice publicly released more than 3.5 million Epstein-related documents while failing to redact victim names and other personally identifying information in thousands of instances, despite repeated representations that redaction was the sole reason for delayed release," they wrote.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 A newly released batch of Department of Justice records from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein includes an alleged 2002 email exchange between his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Melania Trump. The documents, made public as part of a broader disclosure ordered by Congress, show personal but limited correspondence from years before Melania married President Donald Trump. According to the records, Melania wrote to Maxwell on October 23, 2002, referencing a New York magazine story about Epstein and discussing possible travel. Epstein, a disgraced financier and registered predator, died at 66 in August 2019 while being held at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center awaiting trial on federal trafficking charges. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department is releasing more than 3 million pages of records, along with more than 2,000 videos and roughly 180,000 images. The disclosure followed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by Trump in 2025, which compelled the DOJ to make its investigative records public. Epstein maintained social ties with numerous prominent figures, including Trump and former President Bill Clinton, neither of whom has been charged with misconduct related to Epstein. Representative Ro Khanna raised concerns about the scope of the release, saying, "The DOJ said it identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages but is releasing only about 3.5 million after review and redactions.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
