NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. lawfaremedia.org/article/on-dog…

Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
Well, he certainly knows how to reach him forthedefensepodcast.com/episode/todd-b…

Wait, so did they get the court's permission to publish the sealed filings?
1. Trump says that the letter to Epstein is fake because the letter is "not the way I talk." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter is "not at all how he speaks or writes." JD Vance said the same thing. Does the letter sound like Trump? I investigated.
In the Situation Benjamin Wittes explores several theories why President Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal over its story on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the ways the suit may backfire.
SCOOP: DoJ analyst and the wife of the ICEBlock app developer was wrongfully terminated by the Trump regime this past Friday. My latest: muellershewrote.com/p/scoop-doj-an…
Trump just said Schiff merits "prison" for the "fraud" an IG supposedly found. Again, I talked to experts/former IG who described the process used here as deeply troubling. This is his model for manipulating bureaucracy to hatch pretexts to target foes: newrepublic.com/article/198074…

According to this Daily Mail report, Bill Clinton reportedly also wrote a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's 2003 birthday book It also sounds like the FBI reviewed the pages in preparation for release — which the Trump admin quashed google.com/amp/s/www.dail…
Ghislaine Maxwell sued Virginia Giuffre for defamation and it didn’t go so well for Maxwell — who is now serving 20 plus years in prison. All the incriminating discovery in that defamation case became public as a result of @MiamiHerald cnbc.com/2025/07/18/tru…
Yes this is real but it was just temporary (before the complaint was fully processed and docketed on PACER). I was making a joke out of it in my original post, but Trump is of course represented by counsel (Brito PLLC/Alejandro Brito)
is this real? not even his lawyers will touch this I'm guessing? this is gonna be 🔥 🍿
🚨The Trump administration says it has arranged with the Maduro regime to be able to bring back any of the deported Venezuelans for legal proceedings if ordered by a court. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2601…
Per Dick Durbin, FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files were told to flag anything mentioning Trump.
Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino have made a mess of the Epstein files. It’s time to clear it up once and for all for the American people.
