House Democrat: Bill Gates’s association with Epstein after 2008 conviction ‘really troubling’
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) on Wednesday condemned Bill Gates’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein, which began after the disgraced financier pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008. The billionaire testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday about his ties to Epstein. As the committee’s ranking member, Garcia noted that Gates was…
Todd Blanche may have torpedoed his own AG nomination with Epstein stunt: analysis
A damning New York Times report released on Wednesday raised new concerns about Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and his involvement with the Epstein files.Blanche has come under fire over his role in "attempting to kill off the Epstein firestorm," just days after President Donald Trump formally nominated his former personal lawyer for permanent attorney general, The Daily Beast reported. Now, doubts were raised over whether he could be the top leader of the Justice Department ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing — and whether he could maintain his independence."Opponents argue he is not fit for the job, pointing to his handling of the Epstein files, which identified numerous victims but kept the names of potential co-conspirators hidden, as well as other controversies, such as Trump’s $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' slush fund and the backroom deal giving the president immunity from continuing IRS audits," The Beast reported.The bombshell reporting from Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan is part of an upcoming book and includes multiple revelations about what happened within the Trump administration and includes Blanche's involvement as the then-deputy attorney general under former Attorney General Pam Bondi."Blanche and other Trump aides—including Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Communications Director Steven Cheung and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt—held a panicked meeting in the Situation Room in July last year, desperate to quell the MAGA civil war that had erupted over the administration’s failure to release the Epstein files," according to The Beast.In the meeting, Blanche reportedly offered two potential options."The first was to petition Federal District Courts in Florida and New York to unseal grand jury testimonies related to Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous sex trafficking crimes, as these were unlikely to contain any new information, and therefore, releasing them was unlikely to damage Trump," The Beast reported.Blanche likely knew that getting a federal judge to unseal grand jury material would be a tough move, The Beast reported."The second option was to have a Justice Department official interview Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, and release the transcript," according to The Beast.Blanche apparently volunteered to sit down with Maxwell. He has described her attorney, David Oscar Markus, as "a friend."

“Free and Fair Election” Nonprofit Criticizes Former Trump Election Attorney to Democrat Lawmakers
F Kurt Olsen, the former lead adviser to President Trump on election security, is being criticized by a "catalyzing leader in the country" who proclaims to be "fighting for free and fair elections" in a letter sent to Democrat lawmakers. The organization, Free Speech For People (FSFP), sent the letter to 11 Democrat lawmakers "to address the deeply troubling, corrosive, and unlawful employment of Kurt Olsen" and his former role as a Special Government Employee. Specifically, FSFP points to "activities with respect to voting systems" and Olsen's "access to copies of election system software." FSFP co-founder and President, John Bonifaz, has previously expressed concern about that same voting software coming from a "foreign-controlled company" that has "ties to the Venezuelan government" in a letter still available on nist.gov, the National Institute of Standards and Technology website.

From sexting scandals to election fraud — if you’re a Democrat, ‘no one asks any questions’
Elections across the country this week have delivered no shortage of political drama, but two stories in particular are turning heads.In Maine, several ex-girlfriends of Senate hopeful Graham Platner have hurled accusations of disturbing patterns of behavior at the Democrat — and his response hasn’t been promising.Platner is also being accused of exchanging sexual text messages with women after he was married in 2023.“So, Graham Platner, looking to move on from a week of controversy after telling supporters that his past had been weaponized,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells co-host Dave Landau. “That’s what happens, Dave. When you do something horrible and people catch you, that means they’re weaponizing what you’ve done.” “Well, of course, it’s not being held accountable for the things you’ve done in your past. It’s just weaponizing the things you’ve done against you,” Dave jokes.“When you’re a Democrat and you’re in one of these controversies, you’re able to live like this. No one asks any questions. You don’t address it, and no one follows up. What a wonderful way to be,” Stu says.But it’s not just the Maine Senate election that is mired in controversy.The Los Angeles mayoral race has shifted significantly over the weekend, as candidate Nithya Raman has passed Spencer Pratt for second place and will now go to the runoff against mayor Karen Bass.“So we will have Democrat versus Democrat at the end of all of this,” Stu says.“Are you saying that a system designed to lock out Republicans is locking out a Republican?” Dave asks.Stu points out that there’s clearly a “tiny bit of skepticism by most people on the right that this is actually real and not just out-and-out fraud.”“Well, I think it’s also because the way that it seems that the voting system works is you have the maybe some older conservatives come in early, you see the numbers, and then at the last minute, like a big giant bag of letters to Santa in a courtroom, all of a sudden they all just appear for one person,” Dave jokes.“And they’re not even for Karen Bass. They’re just for this other person to then beat Spencer Pratt to then push Karen Bass forward,” he adds.Want more from Stu and Dave?To enjoy more of Stu and Dave's lethal blend of wit, humor, and insightful commentary subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
