As part of an interview with Kentucky Democrat Charles Booker, who is running for the seat now held by retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R), MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart was left, as he put it, “bereft of words,” after watching a flagrantly racist ad being run by GOP nominee Andy Barr.

Capehart told his guest, “Well, Mr. Booker, in order to win, you're going to have to beat Republican Congressman Andy Barr. He's got — he's getting a lot of backlash for a campaign ad where he tells Kentuckians, quote, ‘it's not a sin to be white.’”

While an abundance of questions remain surrounding the 2019 death of indicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, famed journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez believes she’s discovered at least one answer to the puzzling incident – namely, who was responsible for creating the conditions that allowed one of the world’s most notorious sex offenders to die while in federal custody.

“I believe [President] Donald Trump needed Jeffrey Epstein dead,” Valdes-Rodriguez wrote in a recent report on her Substack. “I believe William Barr’s [Department of Justice] made it possible.”

Journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodríguez alleged President Donald Trump needed Jeffrey Epstein dead, granting William Barr's Department of Justice the ability to create the conditions enabling the disgraced financier's death in 2019.

Valdes-Rodríguez published her latest reporting on her Substack.

After analyzing the Justice Department's files, veteran journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodríguez concluded Jeffrey Epstein's advanced communications infrastructure is tied to U.S. intelligence.

Valdes-Rodríguez identified military-grade technology at Epstein's Zorro Ranch compound in New Mexico, including a "private microwave communications link" still maintained by current owner Don Huffines, an ally of President Donald Trump, according to her Substack.

The campaign manager for Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) has been let go after right-wing news outlets surfaced his old social media posts going after President Donald Trump, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported on Wednesday.

Barr is currently running in a crowded GOP Senate primary to succeed the longtime departing Sen. Mitch McConnell, who served as the GOP's Senate Leader for over a decade and became an institution in both U.S. and Kentucky politics.

In December 2020, Attorney General William Barr convened federal cybersecurity and FBI experts in a classified room to determine if President Donald Trump's Antrim County voting machine claims were credible, as reported by ProPublica.

CISA specialists explained the controversy resulted from a clerk error, not fraud — a finding later confirmed by hand count.

After combing through the Justice Department’s publicly available files on Jeffrey Epstein for months, veteran journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez came to a striking conclusion on Tuesday that the disgraced financier's communications infrastructure suggests ties to U.S. intelligence.

“Epstein was CIA,” Valdes-Rodriguez bluntly claimed in the headline of her latest report published Tuesday, citing the advanced communications network at his New Mexico compound as proof.

A past statement released by former Attorney General Bill Barr came under new scrutiny Friday after famed Jeffrey Epstein reporter Julie K. Brown flagged a series of overlooked remarks from two jail guards who were tasked with monitoring Epstein the night he died.

On August 10, 2019, the day Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell, then-Attorney General Bill Barr released a statement on the disgraced financier’s death. Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide by hanging.
