NEW: House Oversight Committee wants to interview Epstein prison guard -- interview request comes after
@miamiherald exclusively reported that she was overheard by inmate talking about covering up his killing. Here is a free link to our story: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

I can’t stand this much winning.

i am genuinely astonished by how this guy speaks exclusively in cliches

This is a cover-up that goes all the way to the top of government.

Soon, Pam Bondi will have to explain why half of the Epstein files have yet to be released and why she continues to delay justice for survivors.

Rep. Nancy Mace on 13 US troops killed fighting Iran: "Well, America's sons and daughters have signed up to give the ultimate sacrifice"

So while your money flies away to fund this war, remember that Donald Trump wouldn't lift a finger to lower health care costs here in America.
