Bill Clinton defies congressional subpoena, Comer says contempt charges moving ahead

Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning.

Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House’s bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday.

Comer said Tuesday morning, “We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee … to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress.”

“I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee,” Comer told reporters after formally ending the deposition.

“No one’s accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that’s why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton.”

He said “not a single Democrat” showed up to the deposition on Tuesday.

Timothy Busfield MISSING: US Marshals join search for Melissa Gilbert’s West Wing star husband on child sex abuse warrant as he says claims are ‘revenge’ after kids were dropped from cast

Federal authorities are helping to search for West Wing actor Timothy Busfield, who is accused of inappropriately touching a minor on a TV show set. 

A warrant has been issued for the 68-year-old Emmy award-winning actor’s arrest, charging him with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse on the set of his TV show ‘The Cleaning Lady.’

The US Marshals are now assisting officers to locate him and take him into custody, a spokesperson for the Albuquerque Police Department said.

When asked if Busfield had been located, detained or arrested, a APD spokesperson told People: ‘Not that I am aware.’

An investigation into Busfield’s alleged behavior began in November 2024 when staff at the University of New Mexico Hospital called police and reported twin 11-year-old boys potentially being groomed on the set of ‘The Cleaning Lady,’ which Busfield directed.

According to a complaint filed in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, the alleged abuse occurred between November 2022 and spring 2024. A warrant has been issued for Busfield’s arrest in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. 

In an accompanying affidavit, an officer shared how Busfield allegedly ‘grew closer to the boys’ during their time on set and told the children ‘to call him Uncle Tim’ as he and his wife, actress Melissa Gilbert, bought the boys Christmas gifts, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Meanwhile, Busfield would allegedly ‘tickle them on the stomach and legs, despite them not liking the tickling.’ 

The children did not allege sexual touching at the time, but in October 2025 one of the parents reported to Child Protective Services that her child disclosed alleged sexual abuse by Busfield.

2 ex-NYPD cops sentenced for sexually assaulting passed-out woman, as survivor details trauma: ‘I feel nothing but anger and rage’

Two former NYPD cops were sentenced to probation for sexually assaulting an incapacitated woman after a night out at a Bronx bar — as the survivor of the heinous crime urged others to report their stories, no matter the title of their assailant.

Julio Alcantara-Santiago, 40, and Christian Garcia, 32, were sentenced on Friday at Bronx Supreme Criminal Court after taking a plea agreement for the assault that unfolded on July 9, 2023.

Alcantara-Santiago appeared nervous in an orange blazer and pinstriped pants as he was sentenced to six years of sex offender probation.

Garcia sported a two-piece navy suit and glasses as he accepted one year of probation and was ordered to complete a behavioral treatment program.

On the night of June 8, 2023, the unidentified woman went out with co-workers at Zona De Cuba lounge in Grand Concourse, according to a victim impact statement she read aloud to the courtroom.

After going up to a rooftop area of the establishment and having some drinks, the next thing she recalled was waking up to being sexually assaulted by two men in a stranger’s home.

“The next thing I remember is slightly waking up in someone’s home. And then what hurts more is that I see two men over me and feel hands in certain parts of my body,” she said.

“I start to make movement so that the men can stop. I’m terrified and scared that if I say something or if they notice that I’m awake while they’re doing certain things, they will harm me or even kill me,” she told the courtroom.

She said she continued to lie there and fell asleep, and woke up the next morning, realizing she was still in the strange apartment near the lounge.

After desperately calling her sister and best friend for help, she escaped the home and decided to go to a local Bronx hospital to be evaluated. There, she was given a rape kit and spoke to multiple police officers, the victim said.

The two officers were arrested in April 2024 after surveillance footage helped connect them to the crime. Both cops were suspended without pay, the NYPD said at the time.

FBI investigating Two by Twos for historical child sexual abuse claims, including in Australia

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched an international investigation into child sexual abuse within a secretive Christian sect that has followers throughout Australia.

The global fundamentalist sect does not have an official name. It is referred to by believers as The Truth or The Way, or by non-believers as the Two by Twos, or the Church with No Name.

WARNING: This story contains details that may be distressing to some readers.

Believers of the church meet in people’s homes for prayer sessions, with the group’s ministers moving between the different cities and countries where followers are based.

In February in the United States, the FBI launched a probe into the group after widescale reports of abuse were publicised by the BBC earlier this year.

A hotline for former members who have experienced sexual abuse within the sect in Australia and New Zealand has received allegations involving about 130 separate people.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Emmy-winning actor and director Timothy Busfield, who is accused of inappropriately touching twin boys who were actors on a TV series he directed, according to reports.

Female prisoner ‘hurled in locked cell’ at Massachusetts prison after complaining that she had been raped by one of at least three transgender sex predators housed there

A female prisoner was thrown into a locked cell at a Massachusetts prison after she told authorities she was allegedly raped by one of at least four transgender sex predators housed there, a report has claimed.

According to an investigation conducted by The Hill, MCI-Framingham, the state’s all-female prison, is punishing biological female inmates who speak up about alleged abuse at the hands of transgender inmates who also call it home. 

One incarcerated woman, who requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation, told the outlet she informed MCI-Framingham officials she was raped by a male prisoner who identifies as transgender in November. The alleged attacker has not been named.

In return, prison authorities have locked her up in restrictive housing and only allow her to leave her dreary cell once a day to take a quick shower, the woman has reportedly claimed. 

‘It feels like I’m being punished for speaking up,’ the female prisoner told the publication. 

‘They are treating me as if I should have kept my mouth shut – as if it’s my fault, or as though I should have defended myself.’ 

Per the extensive report, seriously violent criminals, including sex predators, child rapists, domestic abusers, and killers, can gain access to female inmates just by telling officials they identify as a woman. 

The request is made possible by the state’s 2018 Criminal Justice Reform, which allows biologically male offenders convicted of those frightening crimes to be housed at the female-only prison in Massachusetts. 

Other protections transgender inmates get behind bars in the state include care for how they are searched, housed, and addressed, all according to their self-identified gender. 

While it is not known who the woman’s allegations refer to, a number of high-profile transgender inmates call the prison home.

One inmate who got into the prison because of the guidelines is Kenneth Hunt. 

Hunt, who now goes by Katheena, was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering two women, including a cousin, according to legal documents reviewed by the Daily Mail. 

Hunt’s cousin was found dead in her apartment by her boyfriend on January 5, 1982. 

According to an autopsy, the woman was stabbed more than four dozen times and was sexually molested with a broom, court documents stated. 

Just two years prior, a 29-year-old woman was also found dead in her apartment after suffering multiple stab wounds, the filing said.

Hunt is currently serving a life sentence at Framingham. 

A previously convicted criminal is also serving time there as a level three sex offender. 

Charlese Horton, who formerly went by Charles, was previously convicted of kidnapping and assaulting a child before being taken into custody again in 2019 on several charges, including repeatedly abducting and raping a 14-year-old at gunpoint. 

Horton, who now identifies as transgender, was sent to MCI-Framingham in July. 

A fourth transgender inmate, Wayne ‘Veronica’ Raymond, is in prison for life for raping multiple children. 

Raymond was allowed to live among women at the prison after being denied parole six times for failing to ‘demonstrate a level of rehabilitation,’ The Hill reported. 

Officials determined Raymond was found ‘compatible with the welfare of society.’

Viral video shows trans male masturbating in women’s bathroom at California Planet Fitness

trans gymgoer was found masturbating in a California Planet Fitness bathroom in a video that went viral over the weekend. The video, taken by a witness of the incident also showed multiple men confronting the trans-identified male in the women’s locker bathroom after being caught.

Grace Hutson, who posted the video online, claims she encountered the male masturbating in the bathroom stall last May, with the footage having recently gone viral. The clip was originally posted to TikTok, where an unidentified person appeared to be pleasuring themselves in the bathroom stall. 

“At the end of the day, whether you’re transgender or not, you should not be stroking your sh*t in the women’s bathroom,” Hutson said in a TikTok video posted on Sunday after the footage went viral online.

At the time of the incident, the young woman alerted gym employees, who did not know how to handle the situation. Hutson’s boyfriend ultimately was the one to confront the trans gymgoer. Looking back, Hutson says she wished she had done more to address the situation.

“I was just really uncomfortable and, honestly, I kind of just wanted to say my piece and get the f*ck out of there. Looking back, I do have regrets, like I should have done more. I should have called the cops,” she said. “I thought about it, but I was like there’s no way anything is gonna come of this. People are just gonna say I’m transphobic.”

The clip has come to light after other incidents last year in various gyms where trans-identified males have been confronted about being in the women’s bathroom. In one instance, LA Fitness terminated a woman’s membership after she complained about a man using the women’s locker room.

Epstein and the Clintons: As Hillary Launched Presidential Campaign, Epstein Feared Exposure

Since Jeffrey Epstein’s second arrest in 2019, the Clintons have spent considerable effort distancing themselves from the enigmatic financier, and they are currently fending off House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who threatened contempt proceedings after the political power couple refused to testify this week regarding their relationship to Epstein.

Epstein first came into public view after accompanying former President Bill Clinton on a 2002 tour of Africa, aboard Epstein’s infamous Boeing 727 plane, later dubbed “Lolita Express.” Abundant photos from that Africa trip—with Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker—have just been released by the Justice Department.

Through a spokesperson, Bill Clinton has acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s jet during a humanitarian tour of Africa in 2002, but has said he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes, never visited Epstein’s properties, and ended contact in 2005. In a Justice Department interview in July 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell downplayed Epstein’s connection to the former president, telling Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, “President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s friend.”

Yet as Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign ramped up, it was Epstein looking to duck the Clintons. Epstein was facing increasingly dire legal consequences in South Florida, stemming from his years-long sexual exploitation of young women and girls. The glare of a presidential campaign risked unraveling what Epstein and his friend and ally Ghislaine Maxwell had so effectively constructed over the years, as they were increasingly associated with the spectacle of “Clintonworld.”

Disgraced Former Prince Andrew Causing Fresh Outrage as He’s Spotted With His New, Free Land Rover 4×4

The never-ending royal perks.

Even after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost all his royal titles and patronages, he still very far from a simple commoner.

In the last few days, the disgraced former Prince, former Duke of York has been pictured driving his brand new $100,000 Land Rover Defender – and outrage is building since it was likely given to him for free as a royal benefit.

Daily Mail reported:

“The former Duke of York, 65, took delivery of the new luxury 4×4 just before his last Christmas at Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Andrew looked furtive behind the wheel of the top-of-the-range Defender as he swept through the gates of his 30-room mansion over the weekend.”

Andrew’s car is brand new, only registered with the DVLA in early December.

Jaguar Land Rover has a 74-year-old deal with the Royal family, by which the royals are loaned a fleet of Land Rovers.

While Andrew has long benefitted from the deal, this new luxury car is sparking anger after his downfall.

“Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India’s Tata Motors since 2008, said: ‘We do not comment on any commercial client relationships’.”

Black Privilege: Canadian Judge Reduces Sex Offender’s Sentence Over Race

A former university football player who choked a woman until she was almost unconscious and forced another one to give him a blowjob was given a reduced sentence by a Canadian judge of just two years in prison because he’s black and was ‘feeling intense pressure’ at the time of the attacks.

“It should be noted that but, for the contents of the Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA), the pre-sentence report and all the mitigating factors surrounding Omogbolahan (Teddy) Jegede, this sentence would have been much higher,” Justice Frank Hoskins said in his Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision last Wednesday, the National Post reports. 

The author of an Impact of Race and Culture Assessment, a report funded under a new initiative from the Trudeau Liberals, wrote that Jegede was feeling intense pressure around the time of the assaults and did not have culturally appropriate support to turn to.

Of note, IRCAs are relatively new in Canadian law – and have become popular thanks to an initiative which began under the Justin Trudeau liberals. 

The attacks happened in 2022 and 2023 at residences at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. – with one woman testifying that Jegede choked her, and the other testifying that she was forced to perform oral sex. Both women said they were physically dominated by Jegede, who is much larger than they are. 

In addition to his two-year jail sentence, Hoskins added three years of probation – which can be reduced if Jegede makes significant progress in counseling. 

The Crown had requested a sentence of up to 36 months, while Jegede’s defense asked the judge to reduce his sentence to community service. 

“In my view, this is a case where the need for denunciation is so pressing the incarceration is the only civil way in which to express society’s condemnation of Mr. Jegede’s conduct,” said Hoskins, noting that Jegede came from a strong, church-going family with strict parents that had stable careers. The now-convicted sex offender told the court that he grew up feeling loved by his family. 

He then began a degree in kinetics at St.FX, however those studies were interrupted by his sex crimes and subsequent charges. 

Jegede was born in Lagos, Nigeria and immigrated to Canada in 2010. His mother said that the transition to Canada was a significant adjustment for the family, and their youngest son “experienced bullying in elementary school due to his accent and racial identity as a black child.”
