US President Donald Trump's alleged knowledge of financier Jeffrey Epstein's crimes has been revealed in newly released emails. According to the emails, Epstein claimed that Trump knew about his dealings and even spent hours at his house with one of his victims. In two other emails, Epstein also told journalist Michael Wolff that Trump "knew about the girls," referring to the women who were allegedly abused by Epstein.
Epstein's lawyer has denied any wrongdoing on Trump's part, but the revelation has raised new questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein and whether he knew more about his crimes than he let on. The House Oversight Committee released the emails as part of an investigation into Epstein's abuse allegations.
In other news, the US government is set to reopen today after a 50-day shutdown, with lawmakers returning from recess to consider a short-term funding bill. However, the deal has exposed sharp divisions among Democrats, who accuse Senate leaders of betrayal and are unlikely to back the bill due to its failure to address the cost-of-living crisis.
Additionally, Israeli President Isaac Herzog received a letter from Trump asking him to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on trial in three separate corruption cases. The report also highlights the mistreatment of Venezuelans deported under Trump's mass deportation policy, with more than 252 people suffering systematic and prolonged torture and abuse during their detention.
Finally, John F Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg has announced his candidacy for a US House seat in New York, citing a need for representation that can harness the creativity and energy of the district.

. These emails are just another way to distract us from the bigger issues. I mean, come on, if Trump knew about Epstein's crimes, why didn't he do anything about it back then? And what's with the pardon request to Herzog for Netanyahu? Is that some kind of payback? 
It just feels like politics as usual. And let's not forget about the Venezuelans who suffered under Trump's deportation policy - where was his compassion and empathy all these years? 
just saw those emails about Trump and Epstein's connection... like is this even possible? I mean, we already knew Epstein was shady but I didn't think Trump was involved 
252 people?! That's insane. Can't believe the House is reopening after all those days 
... like, i know we're talking about some dark stuff here, but let's not forget that there are so many more positive things going on 
... for example, john kennedy's grandson is running for office and it's all about representation and harnessing creativity - that's awesome! 
... and the fact that he's from new york means that we get to see a fresh face in washington 
️... fingers crossed he'll bring some positive change to the district 
. and on a completely different note, has anyone seen those cute little puppies doing their doggy yoga challenge? 
... it's just so adorable and puts everything into perspective 
.
this is getting out of hand with Trump... like how much more proof do we need? 
. And now this other guy Netanyahu is on trial too? Corruption is everywhere it seems 
It looks like another delay to me 
.
I feel so bad for all the girls who were abused by epstein and that trump knew about it. Like what is wrong with him? 
And now the gov is reopening after 50 days and it's just so dramatic 
The Epstein thing is like a million times more interesting! 
what does that even say about his judgment? i mean, we're talking about a guy who's being accused of having hundreds of minors on his private island lol. and meanwhile, he's making moves with netanyahu? 
that's some shady stuff right there. and don't even get me started on venezuela... 252 people suffering torture and abuse because of trump's policies? 
but on another note can we pls talk about the government shutdown thing it feels like theyre always fighting and never gettin anything done 
. I mean, come on, if he knew about Epstein's crimes and did nothing about it, then what else has he been involved in? 
is just a symptom of a bigger problem. And let's not forget those Venezuelans who were deported under Trump's mass deportation policy... it's outrageous that more than 252 people suffered torture and abuse 
. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on these developments and expecting more twists and turns 
.
. But seriously, how come they couldn't figure out a way to address that cost-of-living crisis sooner? 
... what's the point of even having a president if they're gonna be in bed with some sketchy financier? 
This whole thing just stinks, you know? And now the government is reopening but it's not like they're solving any real problems, just kicking the can down the road 
. On a more positive note, I love that Jack Schlossberg is running for Congress, we need more people in politics who actually care about the issues, not just lining their own pockets
