A former prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who worked under U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Berman pointed out that former Attorney General Bill Barr has zero knowledge about the investigation or prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.

Barr appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, where he claimed he didn't hear anything about President Donald Trump being in the Epstein files.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has moved forward with a plan to partially release information from the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case — but House Democrats, including ranking member Robert Garcia (D-CA), are not satisfied with this limited production.

And furthermore, Garcia told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" panel on Tuesday, they've left out a massively important witness from all this: President Donald Trump's former Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, who as a former federal prosecutor, helped Epstein escape justice in the first place.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick revealed new details Wednesday of a past visit to Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, calling the disgraced financier “the greatest blackmailer ever."

Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, and was alleged to have run a blackmail operation targeting powerful figures. He was first convicted for sex crimes in 2008 after receiving a generous plea deal that, despite the FBI having identified as many as 40 potential minor victims of Epstein’s, allowed him to plead guilty to one charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The brewing MAGA civil war over Charlie Kirk's death befuddled a pair of analysts on Thursday.

Sam Stein, managing editor at The Bulwark, and Will Sommer, a senior reporter at the outlet, discussed the impact of Kirk's death on the MAGA movement on a new YouTube video. Their comments come at a time of intense debate about the circumstances leading up to Kirk's death and whether the alleged killer was politically motivated.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson went on a full attack against President Donald Trump on Tuesday as the former warned that it appears federal agents are already staging an effort to invade Chicago the way that has been done with Washington, D.C.

Both Pritzker and Johnson accused Trump of pulling federal resources that aided the city and state's anti-crime programs that were helping communities, effectively defunding the police.

The release of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's interview with convicted Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell only proves what a dishonest and self-serving exercise all of this was for the Trump administration, former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" panel on Friday evening.

"You can't escape the obvious here," said anchor Michael Steele. "When all the documents, if they ever do come out, whatever, we'll get to what's in the house, what they receive today when all of this stuff starts to flesh out and Donald Trump's name is on every other frickin page at that point, [they] so poisoned the well with, with trivial crap like this. Where does that leave us? Where does this all go?"

Attorney General Pam Bondi testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday where she was asked pointed questions about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, former FBI Director James Comey and White House Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations Tom Homan, who was investigated for allegedly accepting a bribe.

The sense from those watching the hearing was that each time Bondi was asked a difficult question, instead of answering, she shouted and made accusations about the Democratic senator she was speaking to.
