đŸ”” FBI Epstein Coverup

Good morning. It’s Thursday, February 27.

 

Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a fiery letter to FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday accusing federal investigators in New York of withholding thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents she has vowed to make public.

Bondi said she had requested the full Epstein case file before Patel was confirmed as the head of the FBI and received about 200 pages of files — far less than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit connected to Ghislaine Maxwell, the trafficker’s former lover and convicted accomplice.

“I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” Bondi wrote.

The Department of Justice released files regarding Jeffrey Epstein to a small group of conservative influencers Thursday.

It’s not clear if the files will be released to the press more broadly or if they will be available for the public to access.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order early in his second term ordering the release of the files along with classified documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has warned controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan they are “not welcome” in the Sunshine State after they arrived there when Romania lifted travel restrictions for the pending criminal case against them.

“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct,” DeSantis said at a press conference in response to a reporter’s question about the Tate brothers.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, meanwhile, launched a “preliminary inquiry” into the Tate brothers, he said in a statement on X on Thursday.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday her Delivering on Government Efficiency Subcommittee will consider recommending “criminal referrals” to individuals she believes have misused U.S. foreign aid.

The Georgia Republican’s comments came during the second hearing of the subcommittee designed to complement efforts by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out supposed waste, fraud and abuse — this one focused on scrutinizing the Biden administration for spending billions of dollars in foreign assistance and distributing that money among programs across the globe.

“Maybe we should consider investigating whether USAID funding has made it back to Democrat campaigns,” said Greene, the subcommittee chair, referring to the U.S. Agency for International Development.

President Trump hailed the “wonderful” United Kingdom as he received an invitation for an unprecedented second state visit to the United Kingdom, the first world leader to ever be extended this courtesy.

President Donald Trump met the UK’s Sir Keir Starmer on the steps of the White House on Thursday afternoon — confirming the calculated snub to France’s President Macron two days ago, who wasn’t greeted by Trump on his arrival — and praising the “special” UK leader.

Seated in the Oval Office for brief remarks to cameras before their talks began, Trump gave rare effusive praise to a European leader, saying: “It’s a great honour to have Prime Minister Starmer at the Oval Office. It’s a very special place and he’s a special man – and the United Kingdom is a wonderful country that I know very well, I’m there a lot.”

A Palestinian man steered his car into a crowd of people waiting at a bus stop in northern Israel on Thursday in a terror spree that left 13 people injured, including a teen hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.

The suspect, identified as a Palestinian from the Jenin area of the West Bank who was living in Israel illegally with his Arab Israeli wife, was shot and killed while attempting to stab police officers after fleeing the scene of the initial attack, police chief Daniel Levy said.

Police said the attack at Karkur Junction outside the city of Pardes Hanna was being investigated as a terror attack. It came a week after a series of bus explosions near Tel Aviv that Israeli officials attributed to terrorists based in the West Bank.

Elon Musk said Thursday that it is crucial for Starlink, a division of his SpaceX satellite and rocket company, to take over the FAA’s air traffic control communication system. He explained that the old system is failing and described the situation as “extremely dire.”

The FAA confirmed reports earlier this week that it is testing three Starlink terminals.

Musk said that regarding the old communications system in place at the FAA, that it “is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk. The Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air traffic control connectivity,” Musk wrote on X.

Investigators said on Feb. 27 that Academy Award-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife, and one of their dogs had been dead for a substantial period of time before a worker found their bodies at their home in New Mexico this week.

The bodies of Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found in a bathroom near a space heater, officials with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a search warrant of their property. There was also an opened bottle of prescription medication and pills scattered on a countertop near Arakawa, they said.

A search warrant said that their deaths are “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened.”
