The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity
In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the countryβs largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the governmentβs dirty work.

When a reporter asked Donald J. Trump if he would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell why was it so difficult for him to simply say - NO. She's a convicted sex offender who trafficked under age girls. Why did Trump pretend not to know about her request for a pardon?
