The numerous women who have accused Donald Trump of inappropriate or unwanted sexual conduct are reportedly staying in touch, and talking about Stormy Daniels' testimony.

Stormy Daniels testified against Trump at the former president's criminal trial related to an alleged hush-money cover-up scheme in which he silenced Daniels' story of a sexual encounter just before the 2016 election.

That story rang true for the other women who have accused Trump of unwanted touches and kisses and even assault, according to a new report from the Washington Post published Sunday....

As United States Postal Service letter carriers face increasing violence and assaults on the job, the police officers who could protect them have been sidelined by the government, a new Raw Story investigation revealed.

With letter carrier robberies skyrocketing by 543 percent between 2019 and 2022, the issue has spurred a bipartisan group of Congress members to introduce legislation aimed at providing more secure mailbox equipment and better protecting letter carriers.

Joel Greenberg, a chief witness in the sex trafficking case against Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, appears to be working with investigators trying to determine if the 41-year-old Republican had intercourse with a 17-year-old girl while serving in Congress. “I can confirm that Mr. Greenberg is cooperating in a congressional investigation,” Greenberg’s attorney Fritz Scheller told the Daily News on Friday. “The nature of the investigation, as well as the subjects of the inquiry, are questions better left for congressional investigators to answer.” Scheller clarified to The New York Times the investiga......

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Michigan woman has come forward with allegations that International House of Prayer founder Mike Bickle sexually abused her starting when she was 14 and before he formed the Kansas City ministry. Her allegations, which some say are the most damning to surface yet about Bickle and come after four decades of silence, are the first claims that involve sexual abuse of a minor.
