Nobel Prize winner pinpoints 'seriously corrupt practice' going unnoticed in Trump admin

A Nobel Prize winner has pinpointed a concerning practice that is currently underway in part of Donald Trump's administration.

Between the cost of living crisis, war with Iran, and the slow release of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's files, the issues found in other parts of the admin have fallen through the cracks.

'Trump flipped out': Journalist claims president dropped a 'big reveal' to enemies

Trump admin shoots itself in the foot by setting up Dem Epstein backfire: ex-prosecutor

The rollout of Jeffrey Epstein's files could be headed for an unsatisfying conclusion, according to a political analyst who says people should temper their expectations.

The Department of Justice has slowly released the convicted sex offender's documents, and, according to Politico writer Ankush Khardori, there may not be enough information in the remaining files to prosecute persons of interest. Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing, and many of those identified in the files or in previous releases related to Epstein have expressly denied any wrongdoing.

GOP's 'messy internal brawl' comes to a head as MAGA looks to oust Senate leader: analyst

Infighting in the Republican Party is set to take center stage in the Senate, with lawmakers worried their private brawl will receive further publicity.

GOP senators remain split on how to proceed with Donald Trump's SAVE Act, which the president has claimed will save the party at the midterm elections.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ripped into four so-called myths surrounding the rise in oil and gas prices in the United States.

Trump's plan to use Iran war as 'distraction' from Epstein files has one huge flaw: Kimmel

A war Donald Trump started, allegedly to distract from the ongoing release of Jeffrey Epstein's files, could deal his administration a harsher blow according to Jimmy Kimmel.

Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing, and many of those identified in the files or in previous releases related to Epstein have expressly denied any wrongdoing.
