Lawmakers led by Jamie Raskin are demanding full transparency from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over the abrupt termination of the investigation into alleged co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. According to the letter from Raskin, nearly fifty survivors supplied detailed testimony identifying at least twenty individuals as part of a sophisticated trafficking ring, yet the probe—originally active under the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York—was transferred to DOJ headquarters and effectively halted in January 2025. Investigators then issued a memo stating they had found no evidence warranting further charges, a conclusion Raskin faulted as ignoring the victims' credible disclosures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed" - CBS News

Listeners, major headlines surround Sean Combs, famously known as Puffy or P Diddy, as the world watches the aftermath of his high-profile federal conviction. According to CBS News, Combs was sentenced to just over four years in prison—officially 50 months—after being found guilty of two prostitution-related charges in a New York court earlier this autumn. The decision follows a lengthy, closely watched trial in which Combs was acquitted of more severe racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but the prostitution-related convictions carried serious weight in the judge's ruling.As covered by ABP Live and Moneycontrol, the 55-year-old music mogul has already begun serving his prison term at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey known for its rehabilitation and drug treatment programs. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed his official intake at the Fort Dix facility, which is recognized for keeping high-profile inmates safe while also offering educational and rehabilitative programs. His legal team reportedly requested this particular placement to address both safety and rehabilitation as he serves his sentence. Federal documentation and officials state that Combs's earliest projected release is set for May 8, 2028, unless any early release is granted due to conduct or participation in programs.This dramatic chapter comes after decades of Combs being a powerful influence in music, fashion, and business, as detailed by both Klavan Trading and Diafrikonnect. Despite his legacy, recent developments have shifted the focus from his entrepreneurial success to intense public and legal scrutiny.Meanwhile, the case has spawned ongoing media coverage with specials such as Sean Diddy Combs: The Sentencing and The Verdict, examining explosive testimony, courtroom drama, and the influence of Combs' celebrity status on the legal proceedings, as reported by CBS News. In parallel, his legal team continues to pursue possible appeals, and according to AOL, they have even reached out to high-profile political figures regarding possibilities for intervention.No public statements have been made recently by Combs about his time behind bars, but the public remains keenly interested in his condition and any new developments in his case.Thank you for tuning in.

Sean “Diddy” Combs — the man who once ruled hip-hop, fashion, and nightlife — now faces a very different kind of countdown: 921 days until freedom. Federal Bureau of Prisons records confirm Diddy's expected release date as May 8, 2028, following his 50-month sentence for charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. But the real story isn't about a date — it's about survival. In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski exclusive, we dive deep into what life behind bars really means for one of the most powerful figures in modern pop culture.

Tony breaks down the stark reality of Diddy's prison life — the monotony, the risk, the psychology — and explores the haunting list of famous figures who didn't make it out alive. From Epstein to Bulger to Hernandez, history is full of men who thought they were untouchable… until the bars closed behind them. This is not the story of a comeback. It's the story of a countdown.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation wrapped up a massive federal investigation on October 23 2025 that took down 30+ people across 11 states for illegal gambling and sports-betting schemes. One major case, dubbed “Operation Royal Flush,” involved rigged high-stakes poker games backed by Mafia families—complete with manipulated shuffling machines, even X-ray tables to cheat players. Billups, head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, was arrested in Oregon for participating in one of the rigged games; prosecutors say he acted as a “face card” to lure bettors and was paid to attend games he knew were fixed.In a related but separate probe, the FBI also charged players and coaches for using inside information from NBA teams to place bets. For example, Terry Rozier of the Miami Heat was accused of providing confidential team info so that bets could be placed advantageously. Billups wasn't charged for this insider betting part, but he is facing serious wire-fraud and money-laundering charges for the poker ring.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In May 1973, Assata Olugbala Shakur was involved in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in which she was accused of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster and assaulting Trooper James Harper. This resulted in her indictment of first-degree murder of Foerster and seven other felonies related to the shootout. A member of the Black Panther Party, she became a prime target of the Federal Bureau of Investigations Counterintelligence Program. When she joined the Black Liberation Army and went into hiding, between 1973 and 1977, she was placed on the FBIs Most Wanted List for three bank robberies, the kidnapping and murder of two drug dealers, and the attempted murder of two New Jersey police officers. In March 1977 Assata Shakur was convicted of murdering state trooper Werner Forrester and was imprisoned. Two years later she broke out of the maximum-security wing of Clinton Correctional Facility in New Jersey, pistol in hand, as she and three cohorts sped out of the prison grounds. In 1984 she was granted political asylum in Cuba where she has lived ever since. On May 2, 2013, the FBI added her to the Most Wanted Terrorist List, the first woman to be listed. "Assata Shakur: A 20th Century Escaped Slave" is the story of Assata Shakur, before she became a fugitive and since.https://amzn.to/3VZGd6fBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Diddy is asking the court to let him serve his federal sentence at Fort Dix, a correctional facility in New Jersey. It's a bold move — of all the prisons he could've picked (or been assigned), he's aiming for the one whose name is, well, hard to ignore. He's framing it as a legal decision — closer to family, better conditions, whatever the rationale given — but the very choice of “Dix” adds a layer of unmissable irony.However, the final placement decision rests not with the court but with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), which considers multiple factors including security classification, institutional capacity, medical and programming needs, and disciplinary history before assigning a facility. While a judge's recommendation may be noted, it is not binding. The BOP ultimately has full discretion to determine where Combs will serve his time once his designation process is completed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs requests to serve sentence in low-security NJ prison FCI Fort Dix

On Sunday, an attacker drove a pickup truck into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) chapel in Grand Blanc, Michigan, subsequently opening fire on churchgoers and setting the building on fire. At least four people were killed and eight others wounded, and the suspect was killed by law enforcement responding to the scene. Grand Blanc police confirmedMonday afternoon that all churchgoers had been accounted for, and it does not expect to find more victims. Officials have not identified a possible motive for the attack, but local reports and interviews have suggested that the suspect — a 40-year-old former Marine — harbored ill will toward the Church. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the event as an act of targeted violence.

On Thursday, The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia announced the indictment of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey for allegedly false statements he gave during congressional testimony related to the Trump–Russia probe. The indictment includes two counts, which together carry a potential five-year prison sentence. Prosecutors initially considered bringing a third count related to a separate alleged false statement, but that count was rejected by the grand jury. The indictment was filed in Alexandria, Virginia, just before the five-year statute of limitations for Comey's September 2020 testimony was set to expire.

Send us a textWhat does it take to navigate the most dangerous prisons in America while maintaining both safety and humanity? Pete Bloodworth's extraordinary 35-year journey through corrections offers profound insights into this question.From his early days as a Marine Corps sniper to becoming one of corrections' most influential tactical innovators, Bloodworth's story reveals how military discipline transformed his approach to prison management. "When you actually study the science behind it," he explains about his pioneering work with less-lethal tools, "it's not to say other methods are bad, it's to strengthen the things that are their weaknesses." This pragmatic philosophy guided his development of protocols that revolutionized how officers respond to violent situations throughout the Federal Bureau of Prisons.Bloodworth's most compelling lessons come from his time at USP Marion, where staff still carried the emotional weight of the murders of three colleagues. There, he learned that leadership means more than tactical expertise—it requires taking responsibility for everyone's safety. "When you're handling it as an officer, you're in the now," he reflects. "When you become the supervisor, the responsibility of being the leader really starts hitting because it's your responsibility to make sure everybody goes home safe."Throughout our conversation, Bloodworth shares pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of corrections, from managing riots at FCI Phoenix to learning that security is just "one spoke on the wheel" of effective prison management. His later work in private corrections challenges common misconceptions, revealing how these facilities often employ veteran wardens with decades of experience across multiple systems.Whether you're a corrections professional, considering the field, or simply interested in understanding what happens behind prison walls, this episode offers rare insight into the complex world of modern corrections.

Welcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Marine, FBI Special Agent, and HRT Operator Rob D’Amico. Rob D’Amico has over thirty-six years of federal government service—ten years in the United States Marine Corps and nearly twenty-seven with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is the founder and principal consultant for Sierra One Consulting. Rob began a life of service when he enlisted as a US Marine during college at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and, after obtaining his bachelor's degree, was commissioned as an officer and served his first overseas tour in the first Gulf War. His work on reconnaissance missions with the Marine Corps paved the way for Rob’s long and successful career with the FBI. After four years based out of the Bureau’s Miami, Florida field office, apprehending the most violent felons of South Florida as a member of a multi-agency violent crime fugitive task force, Rob transitioned into deep undercover work against the most notorious U.S. and Italian-based organized crime families. Rob was among the few selected to the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, in which he served as a sniper and was first deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Rob’s career with and beyond the HRT team placed him at each pivotal step in the resolution of kidnapping and hostile detention matters. He has worked on every facet of operations—negotiating hostage releases and exchanges, operating under the highest pressure against pirates, negotiators, warlords, leaders of terrorist networks, as well as with ambassadors, generals, foreign ministers, and non-government organizations. From being deep undercover, going after the mob, to dealing with Somali pirates, Rob has had a career that movies are literally made of. Today’s episode, we go deep into a hostage rescue operation on the high seas, dealing with Somali pirates! In today’s episode, we discuss: · The difference between HRT and SWAT in the FBI? · What attributes should HRT operators have? · What does HRT training look like? · The hijacking of the American SV Quest by Somali pirates and Rob's mission as an FBI HRT operator embedded with Navy SEALs regarding this mission. · Four United States citizens on board and 19 pirates. · The ultimate conclusion to the kidnapping? · Jurisdiction issues and maintaining and processing a floating crime scene that was in danger of sinking. · Going onto Somali soil to investigate and make arrests? · The strain on his family during this and other operations like this. How did Rob deal with it? What is his advice to someone about to do something similar to this work? · Retirement, how difficult was it to walk away from all of this? How did he cope/adjust? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast. Visit Rob at his website! Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!

President Trump's tariffs will lower deficits by an estimated $4 trillion, per a Congressional Budget Office projection released last Friday. While consumer confidence has dipped, the President has assured that the nation's economic tide is turning, as companies both foreign and domestic expand inside the U.S. Former member of the National Security Council during Trump's first term and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council Alexander Gray joins to explain the benefits of the Trump administration's “Liberation Day” tariffs as well as weighing in on President Trump's push to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
