The statute of limitations has run out on any criminal charges. The only recourse is a civil case brought by the women. Some have retained legal council, that may be in the works. NFL has no legal investigative power. The victims need to agree to talk to them. They canโ€™t be compelled to testify.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence).

Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat.

Maryland shut out of Medicaid system, health secretary says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on social media that the Trump administration is aware of the issue and that no payments had been affected.
