Epstein Helped Fund Lavish Lifestyle For Former Obama WH Counsel

Jeffrey Epstein helped fund a lavish lifestyle for former Obama White House Counsel and current Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, who he sometimes turned to for legal advice, newly released records show.

Epstein purchased a number of gifts for Ruemmler between 2014 and 2019, including designer bags worth thousands and electronics, while regularly putting down his credit card to cover experiences like facials, haircuts and spa days.

Among these gifts, Epstein purchased a $9,350 Hermes bag, a $6,790 Fendi coat and bag, as well as putting in requests for items like blue silk slippers, an Apple TV and an Apple watch. He had alerts set up on his email at times to send her flowers or purchase sushi, emails show.

A recently unsealed court filing in a civil lawsuit brought by Epstein victims suggested Ruemmler advised Epstein on legal matters, including relating to maintaining his 2008 non-prosecution agreement and public statements to the media, CNN reported Jan. 20. Ruemmler previously told CNN she “did not represent him and was not compensated by him.”

“I was one of a number of lawyers Epstein informally reached out to for advice,” Ruemmler told the outlet in December.

Previously released email correspondence revealed Ruemmler consulted Epstein when deciding whether to accept an offer to become Obama’s attorney general, as well as on smaller problems like whether she should travel first-class or business on a trip to Dubai.

Disgraced Andrew Everywhere in Epstein Files – From Multiple Sexual Indiscretions to a Romance With Ghislaine Maxwell and Sharing Afghanistan Confidential Document With Late Pedophile

How low can Andrew go?

The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – release from the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, are out.

Around the world, journalists are digging into the mother lode, but we can already say that disgraced former British Prince Andrew is the elite figure most featured in the damaging files.

We already reported about a 2010 email exchange in which Jeffrey Epstein, fresh out of Florida prison, sets ‘Randy Andy’ with a 26-year-old Russian woman, once again shattering the former duke’s lies that he severed ties with the late pedophile after his conviction.

He is also featured inviting Epstein and women friends for a dinner at Buckingham Palace – ‘with lots of privacy’.

The new revelations are even worse.

In a disturbing series of declassified photos, Andrew is ‘hovering over a woman lying on the floor’.

Watchdog alleges Netflix coordinated with FBI to promote left-wing narratives

A new report alleges that the streaming giant Netflix has worked closely with federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in ways that amount to government-assisted propaganda.

The report released Tuesday by the Oversight Project, a government watchdog group, contends that the FBI, the CIA, and the Defense Department (now the War Department) exercised influence over film and television productions—particularly those distributed by Netflix.

“Based on all publicly available evidence and analysis, Netflix appears to have an outsized role in socially engineering millions of Americans into a predisposition to accept preferred left-wing ideological dogma,” the Oversight Project report states.

“Netflix did so with the help of the federal government, especially the FBI, and intelligence community. In fact, the FBI plays an outsized active role in content moderation for projects it is involved in.”

Federal judge dismisses murder charge, rules Luigi Mangione will not face death penalty

Afederal judge on Friday dismissed the murder charge against Luigi Mangione, who allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, and ruled that he will not face the death penalty.

Federal prosecutors had sought the death penalty in the case, CNN reported.

U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett for the Southern District of New York, a Biden appointee, dismissed the murder charge because it requires that the killing was committed during another “crime of violence.” Federal prosecutors alleged the other crimes of violence were two stalking charges, arguing Mangione stalked Thompson online and traveled across state lines to kill him.

The judge found that stalking charges are not “crimes of violence” and also dismissed a related firearm offense.

The murder charge is the only count in the federal indictment against Mangione that could have carried a possible death sentence.

Mangione will still face two counts of stalking, both of which have a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.

Garnett also ruled that Mangione’s backpack, which was recovered when he was arrested, be allowed into trial evidence.

Mangione’s backpack contained a handgun, a loaded magazine, and a red notebook, which are all pieces of evidence that authorities have said tie him to the killing.

His attorneys had argued for the evidence to be barred from trial, claiming that the search of their client’s backpack was illegal because authorities had not yet obtained a warrant and there was no immediate threat to justify a warrantless search.

Sept. 8 is when jury selection for the federal trial is scheduled to begin, with opening statements set for Oct. 13.

Maxine Waters Incites Violent Leftist Rioters in Los Angeles – Threatens ICE, “We’re Going to Fight You Every Inch of the Way”

Far-left Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was in Los Angeles on Friday, inciting her radical left followers to riot against law enforcement before several were arrested. 

The Gateway Pundit reported on the riots in Los Angeles, where anti-ICE demonstrators clashed with federal law enforcement and local police outside of the ICE detention center in LA during the nationwide “ICE Out Everywhere” protests.

Rioters were seen hurling objects at shielded federal agents who pushed back with pepper balls and nonlethal munitions.

Eventually, the rioters moved a dumpster toward the entrance of the ICE detention facility and set it ablaze.

Left Wing ‘Resist’ Libs From Hollywood Line Up Behind Eric Swalwell’s Bid for Governor in California

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for governor of California is being supported by a ‘who’s who’ list of Hollywood’s most insufferable left wing celebrities.

It’s rather telling that these are the people who want him to lead the state, even after legitimate questions have been raised about him not even being qualified to be in the race.

His involvement with a supposed Chinese spy should be disqualifying enough on its own.

The liberal celebrities who are backing him just don’t seem to care.

The New York Post reports:

Sean Penn, Robert De Niro lead Hollywood A-listers lining up behind lefty Eric Swalwell’s bid for California governor

Hollywood’s woke donor class has a new favorite: Eric Swalwell.

The lefty congressman has raked in more than $100,000 from entertainment industry donors as he eyes a run for California governor, The California Post has learned.

Democrat Swalwell, whose district in the East Bay is a few hundred miles north of Los Angeles, has hauled in the most money from entertainment industry players among hopefuls to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom this year, a Post review of campaign records shows.

Donors included “One Battle After Another” star Sean Penn, who tossed $15,000 into Swalwell’s campaign coffers, the records show.

A-list actors Robert De Niro and Jon Hamm pitched in $10,000 apiece, as did “Two and a Half Men” star Jon Cryer.

The late actor and director Rob Reiner also contributed $10,000 before his tragic death.

No one is surprised by any of this.

DOJ Epstein Files Reveal Michael Wolff’s Political Collaboration with Jeffrey Epstein to Undermine Trump

Previously unreleased emails reveal sustained, strategic, and often personal communications between journalist Michael Wolff and Jeffrey Epstein, with exchanges focused on political messaging, media influence, and repeated discussions about Donald Trump—including efforts to shape public narratives about his candidacy and presidency.

Among the newly released records from the Department of Justice—part of a 3.5 million-page document production under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump—are emails between author Wolff and Epstein that reveal a striking level of political discussion, media planning, and apparent coordination related to Trump’s rise in 2015 and beyond.

The released records include a February 2016 message from Wolff warning Epstein, “NYT called me about you and Trump. Also, Hillary campaign digging deeply. Again, you should consider preempting.” Epstein responded simply, “Lots of reporters.” To which Wolff replied, “Yeah, you’re the Trump bullet.”

In another exchange from October 2016, Wolff said, “There’s an opportunity to come forward this week and talk about Trump in such a way that could garner you great sympathy and help finish him. Interested?”

Wolff workshopped talking points and responses with Epstein, in December 2015 musing: “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” The question came in response to a heads-up from Wolff the night before: “I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship wit= you–either on air or in scrum afterwards.” The next afternoon, Wolff followed up with strategic advice:

I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

In May 2016, Wolff reached out again ahead of a planned interview, asking, “Anything you think I should ask?” Epstein replied with a list of what he considered damaging topics for Trump, including “revenue of golf courses as income,” “total debt of all cost,” and “how much did his father leave.”

In a March 2016 email titled “Patterson,” Wolff advised Epstein that he needed an “immediate counter narrative” to the upcoming James Patterson book, proposing that Donald Trump offered “an ideal opportunity.” He wrote that “Becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don’t have now,” and urged Epstein to go public. Wolff outlined a media strategy that could include a television interview, an op-ed, and social media efforts and suggested assembling a group of media allies to support the effort.

Sen. Mark Warner’s Attack On DNI Election Raid Falls Flat

Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner slammed Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard over her presence during the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) execution of a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub in Georgia on Wednesday.

Warner claimed Gabbard “has got no business interfering in elections” and warned that her actions should “concern the heck out of every American.” His attack is yet another example of Democrats ignoring clear federal statutes in an attempt to control the narrative.

Federal law explicitly assigns the DNI a leadership role in safeguarding elections from foreign exploitation. Under 50 U.S.C. § 3371d, the DNI oversees counterintelligence matters related to election security, including assessing risks to voting systems, software, voter registration databases, and other infrastructure. Warner’s claim that Gabbard has “no business” in elections also ignores 50 U.S.C. § 3024, which requires all Intelligence Community (IC) elements to provide the DNI access to necessary intelligence for oversight and integration.

Warner’s attack frames the DNI investigation as domestic meddling, but it’s central to the DNI’s counterintelligence duties. Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County raid falls within her authority as DNI. In fact, it would arguably be negligent of her office if she chose not to participate in the investigation into potential voting system and election security vulnerabilities.

President Announces to Sue Disgraced Michael Wolff After Explosive Epstein Files Reveal Alleged Plot to Smear Him

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will sue left-wing author Michael Wolff after newly released Epstein files revealed what Trump says was a coordinated effort to politically sabotage him.

The announcement came after the U.S. Department of Justice dumped millions of pages of newly unsealed Epstein-related records into the public domain, documents the corporate media spent years hyping as a supposed smoking gun against Trump.

The latest disclosure from the U.S. Department of Justice includes more than three million documents, pursuant to House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

In a February 1, 2019 email, Epstein forwarded material to Wolff that explicitly states Trump “never got a massage” during visits to Epstein’s home, a claim Epstein attributed to testimony from his own house manager, John Alessi.

Speaking to reporters while flying to Florida, Trump addressed the explosive release for the first time, saying he had been briefed by “very important people” on what the files actually show.

Trump: “It looked like this guy, Wolff, who was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me. I didn’t see it myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me—it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, the radical left—that Wolff, who was a third-rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein, politically or otherwise. And that came through loud and clear. So we’ll probably sue Wolff on that.”

Ex–Nonprofit Leader Who Championed Social Justice Sentenced for COVID Fraud

A former Bostonian of the Year was sentenced in federal court in Boston for using thousands of dollars in donations to Violence in Boston to pay personal expenses and defrauding taxpayers. 

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, of Taunton, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley to four years’ probation, with six months of home detention and 100 hours of community service. She was also ordered to pay restitution of $106,003 as well as forfeiture in an amount to be decided at a later date. The government recommended a sentence of 18 months in prison.

Cannon-Grant allegedly defrauded the City of Boston out of COVID-19 relief funds and rental assistance money, defrauded the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office out of Community Reinvestment Grant funds, filed false tax returns and failed to file tax returns for two years.

The founder and former Chief Executive Officer of a Boston-based nonprofit was sentenced today in federal court in Boston.

In September 2025, Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to 18 counts: three counts of wire fraud conspiracy; 10 counts of wire fraud; one count of mail fraud; two counts of filing false tax returns; and two counts of failing to file tax returns. In March 2023, Cannon-Grant was charged along with her co-conspirator and late husband, Clark Grant, in a 27-count superseding indictment. 

Clark Grant’s charges were dismissed in May 2023 due to his death. Cannon-Grant and Clark Grant had previously been charged in an 18-count indictment in March 2022.

In 2020, Cannon-Grant was lauded as a Bostonian of the Year and social justice advocate, recognized for being a “voice for the community” and social justice advocate.
