President Donald Trump has been slapped with a $310 million lawsuit alleging that the president engaged in a “trafficking venture” that was “identical in every material respect” to the sex-trafficking operation allegedly spearheaded by Jeffrey Epstein.

Filed on Nov. 24 in Palm Beach County, the lawsuit names Trump in both his individual and official capacity as president, alongside Tesla founder and Trump ally Elon Musk and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, both of whom have spent time inside Epstein’s home, according to reports and, in Musk’s case, his own admission.

'Blood in the water': GOP uprising reportedly imminent over Hegseth scandal

As the fallout grows over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged order to “kill” all survivors of a strike on a suspected drug-carrying sea vessel, recent developments suggest that a growing number of Republican lawmakers may be willing to turn on the top Trump official and impeach him, Zeteo reported Tuesday.

According to a whistleblower, Hegseth allegedly ordered on Sept. 2 a follow-up strike on a sea vessel off of Trinidad’s coast, a strike designed to kill two survivors of an initial attack who were observed clinging to the wreckage.

'Admirals have receipts': Hegseth warned subordinates will have evidence of his orders

Should a serious inquiry be conducted by Congress into the reported killing of two survivors left clinging to a vessel after a kinetic strike on an alleged drug-running boat, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be prepared to face military officials who will go in prepared to defend themselves.

Late Monday, the Wall Street Journal editorial page editors suggested, “If Mr. Hegseth is right, then the factual record will support him. There are layers of bureaucracy between the Secretary of Defense and the business end of a missile. You can bet senior military officers bought insurance on their own careers by recording the advice they gave and the directions they received.”

'Everyone is discontented': GOP insider makes big prediction for 2026 midterms

A GOP strategist believes the midterm elections will see a "discontented" public turn out to vote.

An anonymous strategist told The Hill that the slate of problems the GOP is now dealing with will affect how people decide to vote this time next year.

Trump Social Security chief accused of 'quietly killing' services

The Trump administration is reportedly looking to dramatically reduce the number of people who visit Social Security field offices across the United States, a plan that Democratic lawmakers warned is yet another scheme to disrupt and ultimately cut benefits.

Nextgov/FCW viewed internal Social Security Administration (SSA) planning documents showing that the agency is aiming for “no more than 15 million total” in-person visits to field offices in fiscal year 2026—half the level of the prior fiscal year.“Under Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano, the agency is aiming to push people to interact with Social Security online instead of going to a field office or calling the agency, although Bisignano told lawmakers in June that, even with his focus on technology, the agency is not ‘getting rid of field offices,’ despite reports of planned closures,” Nextgov/FCW reported Monday.

Trump gets warning his handling of latest scandal hit by same missteps as Epstein mess

CNN's Audie Cornish compared the unfolding Pentagon scandal to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has consumed much of President Donald Trump's second term so far.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has found himself in the crosshairs after the Washington Post reported that he ordered a follow-on attack against two survivors of a missile strike of an alleged drug smuggling boat, and the Trump administration has been scrambling to shield him from accountability for what has been described as a war crime or even murder.
