Like the rest of us, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, is under siege by MAGA. We discuss MAGA's war on the "globalist," "culturally Marxist" Catholic Church with Colleen Dulle, Vatican reporter for America Magazine and author of Struck Down, Not Destroyed. Christian Nationalists have captured the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court. Now they are targeting the Holy See. We track the strategy from Steve Bannon's "gladiator school" for disinformation agents to recently converted Catholic JD Vance using his faith to justify mass deportations and ICE terror squads. MAGA has launched a financial boycott of the Catholic Church, provided safe haven and amplification for its biggest crackpots, while deploying dark-money disinformation and a Fox News-style Catholic press to target reformers. We also confront the Vatican's long history of abuse and gaslighting. We discuss the erasure of trans people and women leaders like Mary Magdalene, arguably the true first pope. We also look to what the first American pontiff, Pope Leo, will bring in this time of crisis, and whether he will continue Pope Francis's war on Opus Dei–the far-right human trafficking crime cult that gained prominence during Franco's dictatorship in Spain. Opus Dei has set up shop in Washington, DC, counting among its allies Vance and the Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts, architect of Project 2025.  Note: This conversation was recorded on June 17, 2025.

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government.  Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's sadness over the lack of bombing of Iran, Trump critic Scott Ritter being debanked and an unhinged BBC talking head's theory about Iran controlling Trump. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!

Eddie Hobbs, once a fixture on RTÉ, says, “The mainstream media is the North Korea of Europe”.He was speaking on Steve Bannon's popular War Room podcast and it was a meeting of minds between one of the architects of Maga and the financial adviser-turned podcaster and campaigner.Bannon recently said he has been helping to form an Irish “national party”, working “behind the scenes” on “the Irish situation”.But has he? Where is the evidence for that? And how receptive would an Irish audience be to the former White House strategist's vision for the country?Meanwhile Hobbs told a conference in Athlone this month that those who want to see a new government in Ireland that would cut immigration and break ties with globalist elites need to “reach across the Atlantic” and seek help from the Irish diaspora in the US Maga movement.So could Hobbs be an Irish Trump? What are the other likely candidates?And why is Bannon so out of touch with the political system in Ireland.Irish Times crime and security correspondent Conor Gallagher, an expert in the Irish far-right, explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine dive into a high-intensity episode of Altered State as the focus turns to Bill and Hillary Clinton refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas and what that defiance means for accountability, precedent, and the legitimacy of congressional power. The discussion unpacks the contrast between how figures like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were treated versus the apparent immunity extended to the Clintons, raising questions about equal justice under the law. From there, the episode expands into Epstein's documented connections to the Clintons, unexplained deaths surrounding their inner circle, and why these issues are resurfacing now. The second half of the show examines massive fraud operations uncovered in Minnesota, particularly non-emergency medical transportation schemes tied to daycare, healthcare, and Medicaid reimbursement, alongside on-the-ground investigations and public confrontations. Brad and Zak connect these revelations to broader themes of government waste, systemic corruption, and why cutting fraud is central to economic stability, immigration enforcement, and the unraveling of long-protected power structures.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the young people in Iran are freedom fighters battling a genocidal regime and abandoning them worsens global threats like those from communist China, ultimately harming the United States. Regimes such as Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are fascistic feudal systems masquerading as people's revolutions, fueled by fraudulent ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism. There's a noticeable absence of U.S. protests by Marxist-Islamists and woke neo-fascists in support of the thousands slaughtered in Iran, despite their professed concern for rights. Also, the Democrats have militarized their various constituent groups again, in support of the illegal alien stampede they created under the Biden regime, because they know that to break the immigration enforcement system is to change the country forever and to establish one-party Democrat Party control over our country for as far as the eye can see.  Illegal immigration and the importation of millions of people from all parts of the world who have no intention of assimilating into our country and who seek to impose their own cultures on the citizenry is already causing enormous havoc and societal unrest.  And the Democrat Party is all in.  It is the most unconscionable assault on our nation since the Confederate Democrats dragged our country into a civil war. The battles in our streets between ICE and the mobs are battles for the survival of our Republic.   Later, the 19-year-old who set fire Congregation Beth Israel referred to it as the "Synagogue of Satan"—an anti-Semitic phrase used by figures like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens. People like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, and others use inflammatory language that incites violence against Jews. Afterward, the Supreme Court should know that Trump imposed 25% tariffs on countries doing business with Iran solely for national security and foreign policy reasons, not economic or tax purposes, and that such decisions belong to the President as Commander-in-Chief, not judges or bureaucrats. The Court needs to reverse the lower court rulings and avoid involvement because judicial interference would disrupt historical presidential actions, blur the power of the purse from executive authority, and create havoc in the economy, international trade, foreign policy, and national security through inconsistent rulings from egomaniacal lower court judges.

The release date is March 24th but the book is officially available for preorder, the link is down below. Tensions in Minnesota are reaching a fever-pitch as protestors have now followed ICE agents to their hotels to protest their presence in the city. The mainstream media is looking for any opportunity to paint ICE in the worst light possible. Senator Eric Schmitt is here to discuss all things Capitol Hill. Democrats are embracing the chaos in Minnesota, believing it somehow benefits them and their stance against law enforcement as ICE agents face dangerously escalating tension everywhere they go. Senator Schmitt has defended deportations and wants to denaturalize individuals that are committing fraud and are serious criminals. Congresswoman Kat Cammack is focused on the affordability crisis many Americans are facing. From healthcare to housing, the Biden years made everything unaffordable and it takes time to fix these problems. Rep. Cammack is in favor of Congressman Eric Burlison's reconciliation package that addresses affordability of homeownership, health care freedom, energy independence, and securing opportunity for every American family. In a shocking confession, Congresswoman Cammack shares that House members and their staff did not have background checks that disclose whether they have foreign ties and dual citizenship. Bill and Hillary Clinton have defied the House Oversight Committee subpoena, the same thing that put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail. WIll the Clinton's be held accountable?

How long will the United States claim control over Venezuela? “Only time will tell,” President Donald Trump told the New York Times on Wednesday — potentially years. U.S. troops invaded the country over the weekend, kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Maduro and Flores pleaded not guilty to narco-terrorism charges in New York on Monday. They now sit in a Brooklyn jail, awaiting trial. Trump and administration officials have justified ousting Maduro by claiming it was consistent with the Monroe Doctrine — a doctrine that through the years “has been expanded into something like a universal police warrant that allows the United States to intervene,” says historian Greg Grandin. “Trump has redefined the Monroe Doctrine to mean, the Monroe is as a weapon that the United States can use in order to protect its interests wherever it wants, whenever it wants. So it's a substitute for liberal international law.” This week on the Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington discusses the Trump administration's attack on Venezuela, its larger aims of controlling the Western Hemisphere, and bringing Latin America to heel with Grandin, the author of numerous books, including most recently "America, América: A New History of the New World."“There's an affiliation between the Monroe Doctrine and American First nationalism,” says Grandin. “They imagine United States sovereignty expanding well beyond its borders within its hemisphere.” The administration's vision is outlined in the National Security Strategy the White House released in December. “This is a strategy that announces that the Monroe Doctrine is back in the especially bellicose form. But what's also interesting, if you read further, the United States is not withdrawing from any of those old regions. … It's reserving the right to treat the rest of the world like it treats Latin America.” Trump and administration officials — from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a longtime advocate for Venezuelan and Cuban regime change, to White House chief of staff Stephen Miller — have threatened to expand military operations to Colombia, Mexico, and other Latin American countries that don't fall in line. Maureen Tkacik, investigations editor at The American Prospect, who recently wrote a profile of Rubio headlined “The Narco-Terrorist Elite,” also joins the conversation to discuss the former Florida senator's history and ambitions.Tkacik points out that Rubio, a driving force behind Maduro's ouster, represents a wing of the Republican Party fixated on battling nominally left leaders in the region. That mentality is at odds with a key faction of Trump's base, who say they're against foreign intervention because they think the government should keep its attention on U.S. soil.Trump's attack on Venezuela and fixation on so-called “narco-terrorists,” Tkacik says, “represent an attempt to reconcile these two poles — the Steve Bannon guys and the Marco Rubio neocons — that really have different definitions of America First.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Trump Admits He's Coming For Greenland After Venezuela

Following his "annexation" of Venezuela over the weekend, Donald Trump told reporter Michael Scherer of The Atlantic over the weekend that Greenland is likely going to be the next target. Trump specifically told Schere that "we need it" when discussing his long-held desire to annex the territory. Trump continues to push the narrative that Greenland is essential for national security and military purposes, but that ignores the fact that the US already has a military presence there and has for years. The Trump administration has announced that they are employing the "Trump Corollary" or "Donroe Doctrine" to the longstanding Monroe Doctrine from the 1800's. This unofficial policy is what Trump is using to go in and overthrow the governments of South and Latin American countries as he pleases, and is a continuation of the "Roosevelt Corollary" to the original Monroe Doctrine. The man is so desperate to cement his legacy that he's named the worst foreign policy move in decades after himself just so people remember him. MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's campaign for governor in Minnesota is already off to a crazy start. He decided to kick things off late last week by going on Steve Bannon's podcast to talk about his platform, which consists of just putting all Democrats in jail and, of course, getting rid of all the voting machines that he can find. But it was the way that this lunatic delivered his platform that ended up making him come across as an escaped mental patient.Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has always been one of the biggest war hawks in Washington, and now that he knows that Donald Trump is willing to just bomb other countries and depose their leaders, he has a wishlist of countries that he'd like to see targeted next. The first one on his list is China, followed by Russia, North Korea, and Iran. The man would gladly start World War III just for the fun of it, and he's hoping that Trump will grant his perverted wish.While most of MAGA seems delighted that Donald Trump has overthrown a foreign government without provocation, there are still plenty in the movement that feel betrayed that he's started another conflict (and that he's bombed 8 separate countries in his first year in office.) They are also angry that he's ignoring Americans, in spite of his "America First" pledge throughout all of his campaigns. In other words, they are shocked to learn that everything this man has ever said to them was a lie.In a truly bizarre appearance on Fox News recently, Kelly Loeffler, the head of the Small Business Administration, proudly proclaimed that Donald Trump will NOT ever pardon a criminal. She said this in reference to the alleged child care scam that happened in Minnesota, but that statement doesn't even apply to that situation. Furthermore, her comment is completely detached from reality, as Trump has pardoned closer to 2,000 criminals in his first year in office.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

As countries around the world celebrated the arrival of 2026, the Trump administration took the opportunity of a new year to herald in historic levels of chaos in diplomatic quarters. And as the events unfolding in Venezuela have shown, the US is clearly not averse to meddling in the politics of smaller nations. Meanwhile, a former trusted adviser of the US president, Steve Bannon, gave an interview to Politico, where he claimed that we are "going to have an Irish MAGA, and we're going to have an Irish Trump”. Making it clear that some elements of the alt-right movement have set their sights on Ireland. Bannon's statement begs a number of questions, such as how exactly would he and other MAGA influencers pull this off? Tabitha Monahan is joined by Declan Lynch (Sunday Independent columnist) and Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc (author of Burn Them Out! A History of Fascism and the Far Right in Ireland) to ask how has this kind of nationalism fared with Irish voters in the past, what could MAGA influence look like, and how vulnerable are we to outside influence in the social media age?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On her highly successful Czech podcast, Canaries in the Net, Alex co-hosts on topics surrounding digital propaganda and toxic algorithms. She combines her experience as a communication advisor to the chairman of the legislation committee in the European Parliament with the latest information on how digital space is becoming increasingly targeted. As one of the earliest to speak out about how digital information was being used to sway politics before 2016, she described herself as “one of those canaries in the coal mines”, giving an early warning of impending danger. She described the feeling of being overwhelmed by the information campaigns that we now understand create a technique of “flooding the zone” to destabilize. “At that time, we didn't understand where it came from. It just came from everywhere, from social media, from news, newly built podcasts, and our news outlets.” “The entire information space became unbelievably toxic,” she said of the time. She now understands that Russia was conducting a highly organized campaign to learn to destabilize systems of democracy. When her husband was offered a job in Vancouver, British Columbia, she decided to take the opportunity to relocate. I agreed with Alex about the KGB methodology of demoralization and raising anxiety, fear, distrust, and disgust, particularly against experts in science and democratic institutions. I described the technique she was referencing as their attempts to see what sticks, amplify, and overload methods, a technique used against the U.S., as well as other NATO countries. It is an intentional polarization that allows us to start seeing the enemy in our neighbors, friends, and family.  Alex Alvarová wrote a 2021 fiction book Feeding The Demons: The Conquerors of America. The book was inspired by her research on Steve Bannon and his role in the 2016 election. The outcome is a political thriller that depicts America, Russia, organized crime, and how big data might have been used to influence significant elections. Alex also wrote the 2017 nonfiction work The Industry of Lies, an analysis of how Russia used the 2013 presidential election in the Czech Republic as a trial run to perfect its hybrid-warfare aggression for altering the outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. She now teaches others how to recognize propaganda, increase data literacy, and defensive techniques against online attacks.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on New Years Day.  President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.  In addition, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Finally, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this New Year's Eve special of Breaking History, Matt Ehret flies solo to close out 2025 with an extended, classroom-style presentation focused on what he describes as the intellectual, moral, and psychological traps shaping the road ahead. Matt frames the episode around themes of classical tragedy, mob psychology, and the loss of sovereignty, arguing that societies are repeatedly steered into fear-based thinking that leads people to participate in their own destruction. He examines the construction of modern enemy narratives, particularly surrounding China, Russia, and global war rhetoric, drawing on statements from figures such as George Soros, Steve Bannon, and U.S. national security officials. The episode then moves into a deep historical exploration of transhumanism, eugenics, and ideological convergence between technocratic elites and religious eschatology, tracing figures like Julian Huxley, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Bertrand Russell, and the Jesuit tradition. Matt concludes by urging viewers to raise their standards of thinking, reject simplistic narratives, and actively engage their reason and moral judgment as 2026 approaches.

Reports of an intense backlash at TPUSA's AmericaFest conference were not exaggerated, as younger conservatives in particular questioned Israel policy, foreign aid, and the historical 1967 USS Liberty incident, challenging Ben Shapiro's dismissal of it as "irrelevant."  Jimmy highlights a viral exchange where an attendee confronts Shapiro, argues that the attack was deliberate, and frames the issue as putting "America first" rather than prioritizing Israel. TPUSA leadership and conservative media figures have been accused of suppressing criticism of Israel, while portraying a generational shift inside the conservative movement toward skepticism of U.S.–Israel relations.  Jimmy also amplifies claims from USS Liberty survivors and critics who dispute official findings, positioning the debate as part of larger infighting over Zionism, foreign policy, censorship, and influence within conservative politics. Plus segments on Megyn Kelly accusing Shapiro of amplifying antisemitism, Steve Bannon going scorched earth on Shapiro and accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's defense team's curious ties to the Turning Point USA team.

That's the story from Nigeria today. While a wedding party was taking place in the town of Bundu-Kahugu, a small group off young men, volunteer guards fought off armed Fulani for over an hour. The boys never retreated, as they held off the heavily armed attackers with nothing but machetes and handmade pipe guns. Four of the Christian youth were killed, and another six critically wounded. . The terrorists were unable to kidnap a single soul, or burn down any of the homes in the village. One observer told Truth Nigeria: “[The Fulani] attacked from four sides at the same time, at 11:45 pm Friday night.” And he said. “Our town has about 2000 homes, a small police post, a bank, two primary School and a High School. . .It is a Christian town, and we are expanding all the times because of high birthrates.” “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” (John 15:13) Praise God for the courage of a few young men.  Would you pray for Nigerian Christians this Christmas season.

We begin with a delightful amuse douche from the lawyer of Colorado election tamperer Tina Peters unconditionally demanding her release from state prison because Donald Trump said so before a deep dive into our main story: an absurdly bad take from the New York Times--in both a lengthy print story and an episode of The Daily podcast--on how Joe Biden's unwillingness to be a border fascist got a border fascist elected. Matt breaks down the real causes of the uptick in asylum seekers to the U.S. during Biden's term in office (and its many unreported benefits to the economy and the nation) and provides the full context for the domestic and international law which the Times is openly arguing that Biden should have broken.  You can also catch this episode on YouTube! “How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans' Faith on Immigration,” The New York Times, Christopher Flavelle (12/7/2025) “Biden Didn't Cause the Border Crisis” (Part 1 of 4), David Bier, Cato Institute (1/16/2025) “Effects of the Immigration Surge on the Federal Budget and the Economy,” Congressional Budget Office (July 2024) “Job Openings: Total Nonfarm,” U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Oct. 2025) Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, people often question why does the issue of radical Islamists remain a topic of discussion? The reason is that Jews are being slaughtered, Christians are being killed or shunned, yet there is a noticeable lack of coverage on these atrocities.  Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism are a cancer that will destroy the West, it will destroy us - history proves it. We have to defend our civilization against this barbarian movement of 7th century Islamists that are largely based in Middle East. The lies that are being told about American history is all intentional. It's the Marxist, Islamist fusion in our culture fused with the incoming Islamist culture who all reject our founding. Also, people like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon promote neo-fascist views that overlap with enemy propaganda, such as praising Qatari culture over American or Israeli and portraying Vladimir Putin and Hitler as misunderstood. Americans need to stop funding or watching this content and to speak out against these grifters who sell out the country, provide aid and comfort to enemies by regurgitating their propaganda, and enable enemy interviews. Later, the PM of Australia and his government are hardcore liberals. ​They've ​had ​their ​borders ​wide ​open, ​they've ​had ​massive ​immigration, ​and there ​have ​been ​​massive ​acts ​of ​anti ​Semitism. Now, there has been the killing of Jews celebrating Hanukkah.  Afterward, there's a problem of the dumbing down of communication in the United States, particularly through the hijacking of podcast platforms by evil, dumb, or fraudulent individuals promoting nitwittery, lies, fear-mongering, and outrageous content for attention. There needs to be more people of goodwill with strong views to produce intelligent, substantive podcasts that are serious yet fun and scholarly yet entertaining. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gavin Newsom is the 2028 Democratic front-runner. That's what many of the polls and the Polymarket betting odds say.It's been widely believed that Newsom wants to run for president someday. But belief that he could be a front-runner was less common. A liberal white guy from a state that much of the country considers badly governed just didn't seem like the profile the Democratic Party was looking for.But as a Californian who has watched Newsom for a long time, I was surprised by him this year. After President Trump returned to the White House, Newsom started a podcast, interviewing people like Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon and Michael Savage, which made a lot of Democrats mad. At the same time, Newsom turned himself into the leader of the resistance — trolling Trump on social media and pushing a ballot initiative to end California's independent redistricting to counter the partisan redistricting effort in Texas.Newsom has been willing to try things and take risks. He has shown a feel for this moment — in politics and in the way attention works now.But it's still true that he runs a state that the country considers badly governed. California tops the rankings of unaffordable states, at a time when affordability has become a central electoral issue.In this conversation, I ask Newsom about all of this — what he learned this year from talking to figures on the right, how he thinks the Democratic Party can win back voters it lost, why California is so unaffordable and what he's doing about it.Mentioned:Applebee's America by Ron Fournier, Douglas B.

Matt then takes a quick look at Steve Bannon's petition for review of his conviction for contempt of Congress by the Supreme Court and explains how “safe third country” agreements now give ICE the power to deport asylum seekers to Central America without a hearing on their claims.

Legislative Action and Presidential Approval The U.S. House voted 427–1 to release Epstein-related documents, followed by unanimous Senate approval. President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the DOJ to release unclassified records and declassify materials where possible within 30 days. Trump publicly celebrated the signing, calling prior criticism a “Democratic hoax” and asserting his administration has nothing to hide. Political Backfire Narrative Democrats initially demanded the release to harm Trump politically, assuming the files would implicate him. The documents expose Democratic ties to Epstein, calling it “one of the biggest political backfires in modern history.” Democratic Figures Named Mentions Bill and Hillary Clinton, alleging they risk legal exposure and have ignored subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee. Other names include Stacey Plaskett, Hakeem Jeffries, Bill Richardson, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, and others. Notes that Epstein donated 89% of his political contributions to Democratic and progressive causes between 1990 and 2018. Legal and Investigative Angle Suggests the DOJ is examining Epstein’s connections to high-profile Democrats. References subpoenas issued to the Clintons and eight other individuals. Raises the possibility of contempt charges similar to those faced by Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for ignoring congressional subpoenas. Flight Records and Media Coverage Points to flight logs showing Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein’s plane multiple times in the early 2000s.
