Fifteen years. Twenty-three stab wounds. Ten to the back of her neck. A knife four inches deep in her chest. And a ruling that defied all logic: suicide.Ellen Greenberg was a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher found dead in her Manayunk apartment on January 26, 2011. The medical examiner initially ruled it homicide. Within weeks, that was changed to suicide — with no explanation to her family. The crime scene was professionally cleaned within 24 hours. Her electronics were removed by her fiancé's uncle — a powerful Pennsylvania judge — before investigators could process them. Those same devices would later be cited as evidence of suicide, despite the original investigation finding nothing indicative of self-harm on them.Now, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, federal prosecutors have issued subpoenas to multiple agencies — including the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office that Governor Josh Shapiro ran when his team closed this case in 2019. This isn't about how Ellen died. It's about whether the handling of her case constitutes criminal corruption.Courts have already called the investigation "deeply flawed." The original pathologist has recanted. A 2025 review found wounds and bruises never documented — and still ruled it suicide. The Greenberg family has fought for answers through every legal avenue Pennsylvania offered. Now the feds are asking the questions the state wouldn't.There's no statute of limitations on homicide. If federal investigators find what Ellen's parents have always believed — that institutions protected themselves instead of seeking justice — this case could finally see accountability.#EllenGreenberg #JoshShapiro #FederalProbe #TrueCrime #Philadelphia #JusticeForEllen #Corruption #CoverUp #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the legal landscape across two major cases — and exposes where the system works, where it fails, and what happens next.In the Nick Reiner case: Alan Jackson issued ten sealed subpoenas before withdrawing. He declared Nick "not guilty of murder" on the courthouse steps. There's a sealed medical order. Nick appeared in a suicide prevention smock. His medications aren't stabilized. Eric examines the competency question, what those subpoenas might reveal, and why the gas station surveillance footage showing Nick "calm" after the murders cuts both ways.In the Tepe case: Police announced a preliminary NIBIN ballistic link connecting a weapon from Dr. McKee's property to the murders. Surveillance footage captured a vehicle traced to McKee arriving before and leaving after. Charges were upgraded to premeditated aggravated murder — death penalty eligible. Eric breaks down what "preliminary" ballistic evidence means, whether it can be challenged, and what defense strategies remain.Then there's the domestic violence angle. Monique Tepe's family says she was emotionally abused. But the divorce records show no DV allegations, no protection orders — just "incompatibility." Eight years after the divorce, court activity brought McKee and Monique back together. Six months later, she was dead.Eric examines why victims choose not to document abuse, how the legal system treats emotional abuse versus physical abuse, and whether court filings can be weaponized to force contact with an ex-spouse.For anyone watching who recognizes their own situation in Monique's story, Eric offers legal advice on what steps victims can take to protect themselves — and where the system's limits are.#EricFaddis #NickReiner #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #HiddenKillers #InsanityDefense #Ballistics #DomesticViolence #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alan Jackson spent three weeks on the Nick Reiner case. Every waking hour, according to his own account. His team issued ten subpoenas — all now sealed by the court. Then he walked into a Los Angeles courtroom and told the judge he had "no choice" but to withdraw. Whatever he discovered, whatever those subpoenas revealed, he says he's legally prohibited from discussing.But Jackson did say one thing on the courthouse steps: Nick Reiner is "not guilty of murder" under California law. That's not a legal ruling. That's a preview of the insanity defense he was building before he left.Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene inherited the case with approximately thirty seconds of introduction time before the hearing. She told reporters she'd had no prior contact with the Reiner family. The LA County Public Defender's Office has a strong capital case record — between 2006 and 2015, only one of their clients received a death sentence out of thirty capital appeals. But Greene is walking into a case mid-construction, with sealed subpoenas she may or may not be able to access.Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to help their son. Eighteen rehab programs. Seventy thousand dollars a month in treatment. A guest house on the family property. When Nick was arrested for allegedly stabbing them to death, the resources that had always protected him became a question mark.Nick's arraignment is February 23rd. No plea entered. No bail. Alan Jackson knows something. He just can't tell anyone what it is.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AlanJackson #MicheleReiner #PublicDefender #ReinerMurders #InsanityDefense #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #WeekInReviewJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Zak Paine, Adel Nero, and Frankie Val open Episode 116 with casual banter before turning to a wide-ranging and intense discussion on accountability, power, and corruption, beginning with the Clintons' refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas and what that means for the legitimacy of oversight itself. The conversation expands into the massive fraud unfolding in Minnesota, including Somali-linked schemes, misuse of public funds, civil asset forfeiture, and ICE activity at the Minneapolis–St. Paul airport, tying local corruption to national consequences. From there, the hosts examine systemic rot within government institutions, questioning two-tier justice, political protection, and the failure to prosecute obvious criminal behavior. The episode also dives into the Federal Reserve, fiat currency, debt, silver market manipulation, and the broader implications of financial systems built on fraud, arguing that exposure without enforcement risks total public disillusionment. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize that real reform requires consequences, not rhetoric, and warn that without decisive action, trust in institutions will continue to collapse.

Subpoenas, Contempt, and the Epstein Questions Tara breaks down what may be one of the most consequential case studies in modern American legal history: Hillary Clinton and the repeated subversion of accountability.
From Minneapolis Riots to the Clinton Test
Hillary Clinton drew sharp criticism after declining to comply with an Epstein-related congressional subpoena that sought testimony and records tied to the broader investigation into Epstein's network and institutional failures. Rather than appearing or producing materials in the manner demanded, her response was routed through lawyers and procedural objections, effectively stonewalling lawmakers who were attempting to trace accountability beyond Epstein and Maxwell. The refusal fed the perception that powerful political figures operate under a different set of rules, especially when scrutiny turns uncomfortable. At a moment when survivors and the public were demanding transparency, Clinton's posture reinforced the idea that influence can be used to slow-walk or blunt congressional oversight. The optics were unmistakable: a former Secretary of State choosing legal insulation over public accountability in a case defined by elite protection.Critics argued that Clinton's noncompliance wasn't a neutral legal maneuver but a strategic dodge that undermined the very transparency Congress was seeking. The Epstein scandal has long been marked by selective exposure, where lesser players are named while powerful figures remain unreachable behind counsel and procedure. By refusing to engage directly, Clinton added to that pattern, signaling that even a congressional subpoena can be treated as negotiable if you have enough clout. The decision also undercut claims that the political class takes institutional abuse seriously, especially when cooperation might clarify who knew what and when. In an investigation already plagued by delays and redactions, Clinton's defiance hardened public skepticism that truth would ever outrun privilege. It wasn't just a missed testimony; it was another reminder of how accountability stalls at the top.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Hillary Clinton expected to skip House Oversight deposition Wednesday, risking contempt | Fox News

Today's Headlines: Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned after the DOJ pushed them to investigate the widow of Renee Good — while still refusing to treat the ICE officer who killed Good as a civil rights case. The DOJ is now probing alleged ties between Good's wife and local ICE protest groups, a move prosecutors called a blatant inversion of justice. At the same time, Rep. Jamie Raskin is pressing DHS over reports that ICE is recruiting pardoned January 6 participants, asking how many now have guns, masks, and badges. That scrutiny comes as more than 50 House Democrats roll out articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for obstruction, civil rights violations, and alleged self-dealing. Trump escalated things in Detroit, announcing he'll cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities and states starting February 1 — targeting 11 states and D.C. labeled as sanctuary jurisdictions. Abroad, Iran's regime crackdown has reportedly killed more than 2,000 protesters. Trump says he's canceled talks with Tehran, urged protesters to “take over your institutions,” slapped new tariffs on countries doing business with Iran, and — as the regime jams Starlink — the White House has reportedly held quiet talks with exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi. In Epstein news, Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee about Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending an eight-page letter arguing the subpoenas are invalid and noting they already submitted sworn statements the committee accepted from others. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court heard arguments on state bans targeting transgender athletes, with signs the justices are unlikely to strike them down. And civil rights trailblazer Claudette Colvin, whose defiance on a Montgomery bus at 15 helped ignite the civil rights movement, has died at 86.

What Powell actually did •Powell chose to go public with a dramatic video statement saying DOJ subpoenas “threatened a criminal indictment” over his testimony on the Fed's multibillion‑dollar building renovations. •He explicitly framed the subpoenas as “pretexts” and cast them as retaliation for the Fed setting rates independently of the president, elevating a renovation/cost‑overrun inquiry into an existential attack on central bank independence. The framing of criminal indictment came from Powell! In what look liked a scripted response, all of the Fed acolytes on Wall St cried foul, they bought in hook line and sinker!!! What the U.S. Attorney is saying •The U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C. has stated they contacted the Fed “on multiple occasions” about cost overruns and Powell's congressional testimony, were ignored, and therefore resorted to formal legal process, which they stress “is not a threat.” •Jeanine Pirro has been explicit that “the word ‘indictment' has come out of Mr. Powell's mouth, no one else's,” and that “none of this would have happened if they had just responded to our outreach.” “Above the law” behaviour. •Powell now publicly insists “no one is above the law,” even as the record shows the Fed disregarded informal outreach and only engaged once grand jury subpoenas landed, which is the opposite of transparent cooperation. Recall Choke Point 2.0 and the unbanking of individuals. •By recasting a straightforward question of cost overruns and possible misstatements to Congress as an illegitimate “criminal indictment threat,” Powell is effectively demanding a special zone of immunity wrapped in the rhetoric of independence. Why central bankers are “charging the hill” •Former Fed chairs and global monetary grandees have rushed out statements condemning the probe as an attack on Fed independence, treating any prosecutorial look at a central banker as inherently out of bounds. The former Fed officials' statement is doing exactly what the “51 intel officials” letter did on the Hunter Biden laptop: using elite signatures to launder a political narrative into institutional dogma and declare scrutiny itself illegitimate. Powell and his allies are recasting a narrow DOJ inquiry into cost overruns and testimony accuracy as an existential assault on “independence,” and an all‑too‑willing media is once again treating the letter as revealed truth instead of asking hard questions This closes ranks around the idea that central banks sit on a higher plane than normal agencies, immune not only from political pressure on rates, which is legitimate, but also from standard legal and fiscal oversight, which is not. MSM and the death of the 4th estate •Much of legacy media has adopted Powell's framing almost verbatim: “unprecedented attack on independence,” “monetary policy under assault,” while relegating the core factual dispute,ignored outreach, cost overruns, accuracy of testimony, to secondary status. Powell and the central banking crowd are behaving in a way that is frankly odd: they stonewall basic oversight, scream “independence” the moment anyone reaches for legal tools, and act as though they stand above the law—while a compliant MSM gladly carries their narrative, proof the fourth estate has checked out. All of this does not meet the smell test. Is the Fed above the US Constitution? Why did Powell go public and choose the framing that he did? Why did MSM and so called objective pundits not do any objective analysis. Smells like elements of a Russia Russia Russia hoax strategy to me. https://twitter.com/MetaLawMan/status/2010816276508082343?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2010816276508082343%7Ctwgr%5E6585e9ff019ea8191354a3bf06c918cdfd10f00c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fjoehoft.com%2Fcorrupt-fed-head-jerome-powell-added-trillions-in-unnecessary-us-debt%2F service of a subpoena on the Fed is not a threat to indict him. Subpoenas are investigative tools. It's possible that the government separately advised Powell that he was a “target” of the investigation, but he didn't say that. 3.

Trump administration designates 3 Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations The Trump administration labeled three Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations on Tuesday, imposing sanctions on them and their members. The Lebanese, Jordanian and Egyptian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood pose a risk to the United States and American interests, according to the Treasury and State departments. “These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters' violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press. “The United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism.” The Jordanian and Egyptian branches were designated by the Treasury as specifically designated global terrorists for providing support to Hamas. The Lebanese branch was labeled a foreign terrorist organization, which is the most severe, meaning it is a criminal offense to provide material support to the group.

Each faction represents and individual spline on the umbrella construct, but the Muslim Brotherhood overall is a political extremist system for various levels of authentic Islam. The regional chapters that really matter, the difficult ones to navigate will be in Qatar, Syria and especially the Turkish factions.

According to Bessent, the Treasury Department has launched multiple enforcement actions focused on suspicious financial flows between Minnesota residents and businesses and overseas destinations, including East Africa, as the federal government intensifies its immigration and fraud crackdown in the state. But the real bombshell dropped during an interview with Blaze: Scott Bessent:“It's hard to follow the money. There are evidently some disturbing tapes of AG Ellison in meetings with people who donated to him—calling for political favors to stop the investigations. We'll see. I don't want to get out ahead of the investigation. It's going to be very methodical. But I can guarantee you—when the bear trap snaps, we're going to get these folks. We're going to follow the money, whether it's here in Minneapolis and St. Paul or over in East Africa.

Approximately 8% of the state’s population is foreign-born, meaning about 463,452 individuals, while 92% (around 5,329,699) are native-born (U.S.-born). Minnesota is home to the largest Somali-American population in the United States, with people of Somali descent making up a notable ethnic group. Recent estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) for 2024 put the number of individuals of Somali descent in Minnesota at around 107,000 to 108,000, representing about 1.85% of the state’s total population.

NED is a U.S. government-funded outfit. It includes currently sitting members of Congress on its board… from both parties, not just former officials. Soros's involvement is deep. He has co-chaired NED conferences abroad and his Open Society NGOs regularly partner with NED operations, especially in countries undergoing “transitions” (read: regime change or soft power penetration). Together, Soros and US-backed NGOs have shaped funding pipelines, media narratives, and even foreign electoral strategies. So when people ask, “Why isn't Soros banned?” … they need to understand: he’s not an outsider. He’s part of our government. The Uniparty protects and partners with him, because he helps carry out a shared foreign policy vision… the same one that labels President Trump as a threat to democracy.

The New York Times reported: Source: thegatewaypundit.com President Trump's Plan Lefty DOJ Lawyers Rage-Quit After Harmeet Dhillon Blocks ICE Witch Hunt A group of lawyers in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have reportedly resigned after Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon declined to investigate the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in last week’s shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The group had apparently pushed Dhillon to let a DOJ delegation fly to Minneapolis to investigate the January 7 shooting death of far-left agitator Renee Nicole Good, who was shot after she used her two-ton Honda Pilot as a weapon against the officer. Despite pressure from the lefty lawyers – described as “career prosecutors” – to initiate a witch hunt against the officer, Dhillon put a kibosh on their plans. They were apparently informed of the decision not to move forward with an investigation of the ICE agent last Friday. After being told “no,” a group of “top leaders” in the criminal section of the Civil Rights Division “have left their jobs to register their frustration with the department.” Shock, horror. Sounds like the DOJ is well rid of this cabal, and these departures could be part of a trend of mass resignations amongst the old guard. This, of course, also saves Dhillon the trouble of having to draw up their pink slips. Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2010791586980933826?s=20 later.

The week began with a borderline farcical incident in Greenland, where organizers of a traditional dog sled race condemned what they viewed as inappropriate political pressure after an invitation was extended to a U.S. political figure linked to Donald Trump's ambitions toward the island. The Trump administration has clearly dialed back its more provocative rhetoric on Greenland, moving away from loose talk of force and toward a framing rooted in NATO security and Arctic competition with China and Russia. That shift is necessary, but it is not sufficient.If the United States wants Greenland aligned with its sphere of influence, cultural buy in matters. Right now, we are losing that battle. From my admittedly tongue in cheek but sincere proposals involving sports exchanges, Arctic games with Alaska, and even Hollywood soft power, the point remains serious. You cannot strong arm affinity. You have to earn it. Greenland's resistance to even symbolic American political presence should be a warning sign, not a punchline.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Iran, Unrest, and Trump's Misdirection DoctrineIran is far harder to read. The internet blackout, scattered video, and wildly varying casualty estimates make certainty impossible. I do not trust low numbers, nor do I trust high numbers. I do not trust most of the footage. Historically, when Iran shuts off the internet, it precedes violent crackdowns, so it would not surprise me if protesters are being killed. But the fog is thick, and anyone claiming clarity is overselling it.What does feel clearer is the Trump administration's evolving playbook on foreign intervention. We have now seen a pattern where public messaging intentionally misleads the press ahead of decisive action. It happened before strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. It happened with Venezuela. Loud uncertainty followed by sudden execution. With Trump publicly encouraging Iranian protesters while factions inside his administration urge restraint, the real question is not whether something happens, but what form it takes. Cyber operations, targeted strikes, covert assistance, or none of the above. The only safe assumption is that the public story may be the opposite of the private plan.Venezuela, Powell, and the Cost of Weaponized InstitutionsVenezuela remains the clearest example of this strategy in action. The removal of Nicolás Maduro and his arrival in New York did not follow months of public drumbeats. It followed confusion. That pattern now shadows Iran as well. But the episode did not stay overseas. It came home with the Justice Department's move against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.The subpoena and threatened indictment over cost overruns at Fed headquarters are politically radioactive. Even Republicans who agree the renovation was excessive argue this never should have been criminal. Scott Bessent's reported anger reflects a broader concern inside the administration. Undermining the Fed's independence while simultaneously pressuring it to cut rates is self defeating. Inflation data this week was not disastrous. Absent this DOJ fight, the headline might have been cautious optimism about future cuts. Instead, the story became institutional overreach and internal dysfunction.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:15 - Greenland00:17:16 - Update00:18:05 - Iran00:24:51 - Jerome Powell00:29:25 - Inflation00:31:36 - Interview with Al Brushwood01:06:21 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Hattie Wyatt Caraway Elected to SenateOn January 12, 1932, Hattie Wyatt Caraway of Arkansas became the first woman elected to the United States Senate in her own right, marking a milestone in American legal and political history. Initially appointed to her late husband Thaddeus Caraway's Senate seat, she was widely expected to serve only as a placeholder until a male successor could be elected. Instead, Caraway defied expectations by entering the special election and winning, quietly but firmly asserting her independence. Her victory came just over a decade after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote and laid the groundwork for their broader participation in political life.Caraway's campaign was bolstered by the support of Louisiana Senator Huey Long, whose populist style and energetic barnstorming helped draw attention to her candidacy. Despite being soft-spoken and reserved on the Senate floor, Caraway developed a reputation for diligence and loyalty to her constituents. She went on to win a full term later that year, becoming the first woman to do so and serving in the Senate until 1945.Her election symbolized a shift in legal and cultural attitudes toward women in government roles. While women had begun entering state legislatures and the House of Representatives, the Senate had remained all-male until Caraway's election. Her success challenged deeply rooted assumptions about women's capacity for leadership and helped open the door for future female senators. She focused much of her legislative work on issues affecting veterans, farmers, and rural communities.U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani announced she would block the Trump administration's attempt to terminate temporary legal status for 10,000 to 12,000 migrants from seven Latin American countries. These individuals had entered the U.S. under family reunification parole programs that allowed them to live legally with relatives while waiting for visa approval. The Department of Homeland Security had moved to cancel the programs, which were launched or updated during the Biden administration, arguing they were being misused to bypass regular immigration protocols.Judge Talwani criticized the government for failing to provide proper legal notice to the affected migrants, many of whom are children, and emphasized that the U.S. must also follow the law. The plaintiffs' attorney called the government's move harmful and disruptive, especially to families and school-aged children. A Justice Department lawyer argued that the administration had the legal authority to revoke parole.The case is part of a broader legal battle over Trump's efforts to dismantle humanitarian parole programs initiated under President Biden, which had provided temporary protection to hundreds of thousands of migrants. Talwani had previously issued rulings blocking similar rollbacks, but higher courts overturned them. Her upcoming order is expected to offer temporary relief to thousands facing imminent deportation.US judge to block Trump move to end thousands of Latin American migrants' legal status | ReutersOn January 10, Indonesia became the first country to temporarily block access to Elon Musk's Grok chatbot, citing concerns over the platform's ability to generate AI-produced pornographic content, including disturbing depictions of minors. The country's Communications and Digital Minister condemned non-consensual sexual deepfakes as serious human rights violations and emphasized the need to protect dignity and digital safety. This action follows growing international criticism of Grok's content safeguards, with some governments in Europe and Asia launching investigations.xAI, the company behind Grok, responded by limiting image generation features to paying users while working to address security flaws that had allowed the creation of sexualized images. However, its public response to Reuters included a dismissive automatic message: “Legacy Media Lies.” Musk, posting on X, insisted users generating illegal content would be held accountable as if they had uploaded it directly.Indonesia's firm stance highlights the absence of similar decisive action from the United States, where Grok and xAI are based—raising questions about America's professed commitment to protecting victims of online abuse. The U.S.'s failure to lead on this issue stands in stark contrast to its claimed leadership in defending digital rights and vulnerable populations.Indonesia temporarily blocks access to Grok over sexualised images | ReutersU.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the government has more than enough funds—nearly $774 billion in cash on hand—to handle any tariff refunds that may result from a potential Supreme Court ruling against President Trump's emergency tariffs. However, Bessent noted that any repayments would be distributed gradually over weeks or even up to a year. He expressed skepticism that the Court would rule against the tariffs, and criticized potential refunds as corporate windfalls, questioning whether companies like Costco, which sued the government, would pass any refunded money back to consumers.While many importers argue that they should be reimbursed if the Court finds Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) unlawful, Bessent claimed the actual number of refundable tariffs is lower than the estimated $150 billion cited by some trade analysts. He declined to offer a precise figure. He also disputed the idea that Trump's tariffs significantly contributed to inflation, asserting that there was little evidence of cost pass-through to consumers.Bessent warned that if the Supreme Court does rule against the tariffs, the decision could be complex rather than a simple reversal, which might complicate refund logistics. He added that a delay in the ruling increases the odds of a decision favoring Trump. Treasury's projected end-of-quarter balance of $850 billion and an expected reduction in the 2025 calendar-year deficit are seen as bolstering its ability to manage any financial impact.Bessent says US Treasury can easily cover any tariff refunds | ReutersFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed that the Fed had been served with grand jury subpoenas by the U.S. Department of Justice, escalating tensions between the central bank and the Trump administration. The subpoenas reportedly relate to Powell's June 2025 congressional testimony about renovations to the Fed's headquarters, but Powell described the move as part of a broader campaign of political intimidation aimed at undermining the Fed's independence. He stated unequivocally that the threat of criminal charges was tied to the Fed's refusal to set interest rates according to presidential preferences.President Trump denied involvement in the DOJ probe, but his administration has long clashed with Powell over interest rate policy and spending. Trump has publicly floated removing Powell and Fed Governor Lisa Cook, whose case is pending before the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, markets reacted to the news with falling stock futures and a surge in gold prices, reflecting investor unease over the attack on central bank autonomy.Republican Senator Thom Tillis condemned the subpoenas, pledging to block any future Fed nominee until the legal matter is resolved. The DOJ's inquiry is reportedly focused on whether Powell misled Congress about ballooning renovation costs, which reached $2.5 billion. Though the administration alleges possible misconduct, critics see the legal threat as part of a pressure campaign to force Powell out ahead of his term's expiration in May.Fed Served With DOJ Subpoenas, Powell Vows to Stand Firm (5) This is a public episode.

The subpoenas arrived late Friday. Jerome Powell, a lawyer by training, spent the weekend huddled with advisers, weighing how to respond. Powell made clear by releasing the video statement that he wasn’t going to let this play out in the shadows. A federal judge on Monday changed her mind and decided there should be a hearing to determine whether Luigi Mangione's backpack was lawfully seized and searched during his arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

On today's podcast:1) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the institution. In a forceful written and video statement released Sunday evening, Powell said the action was related to his June congressional testimony on ongoing renovations of the Fed’s headquarters. But he said the move “should be seen in the broader context of the administration’s threats and ongoing pressure.” In an interview with NBC News on Sunday, President Trump denied having any knowledge of the DOJ’s investigation into the central bank.2) Top diplomats from Denmark and Greenland will meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington DC on Wednesday, TV2 reports. Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt are set to attend the meeting, the Danish broadcaster says, citing a calendar from the US Department of State, which also notes that changes to the schedule may occur. Denmark is banking on the meeting in Washington to defuse President Trump’s renewed push on Greenland and to help reset strained ties with the US over the strategic island.3) Iran’s Foreign Minister said security forces have “full control” of the country after two weeks of ongoing upheaval, accusing Israel and the US of fomenting the nationwide protests in which hundreds of people have been killed. Abbas Araghchi repeated claims by the Iranian government that “rioters and terrorists” had killed police and civilians and destroyed public property using “daesh-style violence,” referring to the Arabic acronym for Islamic State. Protests in Iran erupted on December 28th after a sudden collapse in the value of the currency. More than 540 have been killed in the protests and over 10,000 arrested, according to the Human Rights Activist News Agency, which is tracking demonstrations in 186 cities across Iran’s 31 provinces.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In a major development in the ongoing congressional scrutiny of the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein's network, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has voted to issue subpoenas to billionaire Les Wexner and two key figures tied to Epstein's financial and legal affairs, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn. Wexner, the former head of L Brands and long-time associate of Epstein, is being asked to sit for a deposition as lawmakers press him on his longstanding ties to Epstein, including financial arrangements and the purchase of Epstein's New York home — connections that have drawn decades of public and legal attention. Indyke, Epstein's longtime lawyer, and Kahn, his in-house accountant, both co-executors of Epstein's estate, are also being subpoenaed amid allegations from survivors and committee members that they may have known about or facilitated aspects of Epstein's operations. Support for the subpoenas cut across party lines in the committee, and leaders say the actions are intended to “follow the money” and expose anyone who may have enabled or profited from Epstein's abuses.The push for these subpoenas comes amid broader pressure by Congress to uncover the full scope of Epstein's activities and connections, following the release of millions of pages of Epstein-related documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Congressional leaders, particularly Rep. Robert Garcia, have framed the subpoenas as critical to delivering accountability to survivors and clarifying whether figures like Wexner, Indyke, and Kahn were aware of or complicit in Epstein's misconduct. Wexner has stated he will cooperate with inquiries but maintains he was unaware of Epstein's crimes and severed ties in the mid-2000s. Indyke and Kahn likewise deny knowledge of wrongdoing and have indicated cooperation with the investigation. The committee's actions reflect escalating legislative pressure to probe beyond the original criminal case and illuminate the financial, legal, and personal networks that supported Epstein's operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his 2025 congressional deposition, Bill Barr largely reiterated the position he has maintained since leaving office: that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that there was no evidence of homicide or outside interference. Barr emphasized the findings of the medical examiner, the DOJ's internal reviews, and the conclusions reached by the FBI and Bureau of Prisons investigations, framing the failures at MCC as severe negligence rather than conspiracy. He acknowledged the catastrophic breakdowns in staffing, camera coverage, and supervision but resisted claims that those failures pointed to intentional misconduct. Throughout the deposition, Barr portrayed the persistence of alternative theories as driven more by public mistrust and the extraordinary nature of Epstein's crimes than by substantiated evidence uncovered during federal reviews.That explanation, however, did little to quiet long-standing skepticism surrounding Barr's narrative. Lawmakers pressed him on the speed and certainty with which he publicly declared Epstein's death a suicide, the reliance on internal investigations rather than independent inquiries, and the unresolved questions created by missing footage, altered records, and contradictory statements from jail officials. Critics noted that Epstein's unique status, political connections, and intelligence-adjacent history make the “ordinary negligence” explanation difficult for many to accept, especially given the stakes involved. The deposition ultimately underscored a central tension that has followed the case for years: Barr insists the matter is settled by evidence and procedure, while a significant portion of the public—and some members of Congress—remain unconvinced that the full truth about Epstein's death has ever been disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
