https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-jail-video-investigation/ In the weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan, in August 2019, then-Attorney General William Barr said his "personal review" of surveillance footage clearly showed that no one entered the area where Epstein was housed, leading him to agree with the conclusion of the medical examiner that Epstein had died by suicide. It's a claim that's been repeated by other top federal officials, including FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" in May, "There's video clear as day — he's the only person in there and the only person coming out." But a CBS News analysis of the video the FBI made public earlier this month reveals that the recording doesn't provide a clear view of the entrance to Epstein's cell block — one of several contradictions between officials' descriptions of the video and the video itself. CBS News also digitally reconstructed the Special Housing Unit, or SHU, where Epstein was held, using diagrams and descriptions from the 2023 report on Epstein released by the Justice Department inspector general. The CBS News review found the video does little to provide evidence to support claims that were later made by federal officials. Additionally, CBS News has identified multiple inconsistencies between that report and the video that raise serious questions about the accuracy of witness statements and the thoroughness of the government's investigation. The review doesn't refute the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide. But it raises questions about the strength and credibility of the government's investigation, which appears to have drawn conclusions from the video that are not readily observable.

And sends his personal attorney to interview the convicted sex trafficker who was Trump's old friend How is that not a bigger scandal? Why interview a convicted child sex trafficker with a personal attorney with talk of pardons, immunity or letting her out of jail?

Is this why Trump is sending his personal attorney to interview his old friend the convicted child trafficker?

Trump knew Maxwell VERY WELL and refuses to say if he will actually pardon that monster who was in on sexually exploiting teenage girls. Would you even think of pardoning her?

He sends his personal attorney to the jail to interview this horrible women who he refuses to say if he will actually pardon this monster? This is just dirty all over

When asked if you might give a convicted sex trafficker, a person who particpated in sexual assaults on minors, the only answer should be f'n no! Yet Trump is on the fence???

Poor white people, the suffer so much. Society is so unfair to white people

Trump is pres, he gets the blame, pure and simple.

The media can't not (I know, double negative, but it works!) talk all about this. Trump will burn up the planet to distract from Epstein. Brilliant!

Why are liberals so peaceful and respectful of others? They are the glue holding civilization together

Everything is the sitting president's fault, deal with it

Liberals don't really commit crimes that much

Wow, Trump cutting green energy so his big pocket donors can charge more sticking it to the little guy

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07/28/us/trump-news Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Monday demanded all recordings and transcripts of the July 24 and 25 Justice Department interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who conducted the interviews, Mr. Durbin also demanded that the Justice Department commit to offering no pardon or commutation of Ms. Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for information, citing “serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump Administration and Ghislaine Maxwell.” The letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, was co-signed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee. Because Democrats are in the minority and have no subpoena power, their demands may carry little weight with Mr. Blanche. But the letter reflected how Democrats are trying to keep pressure on the Trump administration on an issue that has, at least for now, cleaved from the president a portion of his typically loyal MAGA base that is demanding a release of files that the administration has refused to make public. Mr. Epstein, a financier and convicted sex trafficker who died in 2019, was well connected and his friends included Mr. Trump. In the letter, Mr. Durbin noted that the meetings between Mr. Blanche and Ms. Maxwell last week were highly unusual. Such interviews would typically be conducted by line prosecutors more familiar with the details of the case, and more able to determine on the spot if Ms. Maxwell was lying, he noted in the letter. That Mr. Blanche himself conducted such interviews, Mr. Durbin wrote, led him and Mr. Whitehouse to believe that the meetings were “another tactic to distract from DOJ’s failure to fulfill Attorney General Bondi’s commitment that the American people would see ‘the full Epstein files.’” Mr. Durbin also wrote that there were “serious concerns that Ms. Maxwell may provide false information or selectively withhold information, in return for a pardon or sentence commutation.” In the letter, the senators also demanded the names and titles of everyone present during the two days of interviews with Ms. Maxwell. And they questioned why the Justice Department believed she would be truthful when the Trump administration previously argued in court about her “willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct.” They also requested the complete terms of an offer of limited immunity made to Ms. Maxwell to secure her cooperation in the interviews. And they demanded the Microsoft SharePoint online collaborative file that Mr. Blanche’s office reportedly maintained to log mentions of Mr. Trump in the Epstein-related records that have been reviewed by the Justice Department and the F.B.I. It is unlikely that Mr. Durbin and Mr. Whitehouse will receive any of that information. But Democrats are eager to call for transparency and force the administration to explain why it is unwilling to offer it. “The victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have been repeatedly let down by the criminal justice system,” the letter states. “Rather than engaging in this elaborate ruse, DOJ should simply release the Epstein files, as Attorney General Bondi promised to do.” President Trump has not closed the door on pardoning Ms. Maxwell, noting only that he has a right to do so. But the idea has already encountered some resistance even from Republicans on Capitol Hill. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a hard-right Georgia Republican, has fiercely criticized the administration for not releasing the Epstein files as promised and raised questions about whether Ms. Maxwell may be motivated by a desire for a pardon. On Sunday, Speaker Mike Johnson also said he was wary of granting a pardon to Ms. Maxwell. “I think she should have a life sentence at least,” Mr. Johnson said on “Meet the Press.” Concerning the prospect of a pardon, he said he would “have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would.”

The two groups were B’Tselem, a rights monitor that documents the effects of Israeli policies on Palestinians, and Physicians for Human Rights — Israel. Their announcement was the first time major Israeli rights groups have publicly concluded that the Gaza war is a genocide, an assessment previously reached by some organizations like Amnesty International. In a report titled “Our Genocide,” B’Tselem cited the devastating effects of Israel’s war on ordinary Palestinians to support their claim: the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza; the razing of huge areas of Palestinian cities; the forced displacement of nearly all of Gaza’s two million people; the restriction of food and other vital supplies. All together, the Israeli campaign has amounted to “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” the organization wrote. “In other words: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
