Newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that the convicted sex offender exchanged text messages with a Democratic member of Congress during Michael Cohen’s February 2019 testimony, and that those messages may have influenced the congresswoman’s questioning of Cohen. The documents, published Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee, include copies of Epstein’s digital communications, emails, and text messages, The Washington Post
reported.
In the texts, Epstein appeared to be watching the hearing in real time and notified the congresswoman — whose name was redacted in the documents — that Cohen had mentioned former Trump executive assistant Rhona Graff during his testimony.
At the time, Cohen was accusing Trump of racism, financial manipulation, and authorizing hush-money payments, allegations Trump denied.
Epstein texted, “Cohen brought up RONA – keeper of the secrets,” misspelling Graff’s name.
“RONA??” the lawmaker replied. “Quick I’m up next is that an acronym,” she wrote, indicating she was moments away from questioning Cohen.
The timestamps on the messages matched the live hearing feed, and the content indicated that the texting partner was Del. Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, who served as a member of the House Oversight Committee.
Plaskett declined to answer questions when reached by phone Thursday and referred inquiries to her staff.
Her chief of staff, Angeline Jabbar, said she was “not in a position to confirm or not” whether Plaskett was texting with Epstein and did not respond to follow-up questions.
After the story was published Friday evening, Plaskett’s office issued a statement acknowledging she received messages from Epstein during the hearing.
“During the hearing, Congresswoman Plaskett received texts from staff, constituents and the public at large offering advice, support and in some cases partisan vitriol, including from Epstein,” the statement said.
It added that Plaskett “welcomes information that helps her get at the truth” and highlighted her record of combating sexual assault and human trafficking.
The documents show Epstein messaged Plaskett before the hearing began.
At 7:55 a.m. Eastern time, Plaskett texted Epstein, “He’ll talk about his grades.”
Epstein replied one minute later, “what privilege stands behind the none release of college transcripts?”
Throughout the morning, Epstein continued messaging Plaskett.
At 10:02 a.m., he texted, “Great outfit.”
At 10:22 a.m., he added, “You look great,” to which she replied, “Thanks!”
At approximately 10:40 a.m., the broadcast showed Plaskett moving her mouth as though chewing something.
At 10:41 a.m., Epstein texted, “Are you chewing.”
Plaskett responded, “Not any more. Chewing interior of my mouth. Bad habit from middle school.”
The messages continued throughout the hearing.
At 12:50 p.m., Epstein asked, “How much longer for you.”
“Hours. Go to other mtgs,” Plaskett replied.
Other messages indicate Epstein was offering input on lines of questioning.
At 12:25 p.m., Epstein wrote, “Hes opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org.”
“Yup. Very aware and waiting my turn,” Plaskett responded.
When Plaskett questioned Cohen at 2:28 p.m., she asked about Trump associates Cohen had mentioned.
“So Allen Weisselberg is the chief financial officer in The Trump Organization,” Cohen began.
“You’ve got to quickly give us as many names as you can so we can get to them,” she interjected.
Plaskett’s line of questioning then turned to Graff, just as Epstein had flagged.
“Is Ms. Rhona, what is Ms. Rhona’s— …?” she asked.
Cohen replied, “Rhona Graff is the — Mr. Trump’s executive assistant … She was — her office is directly next to his, and she’s involved in a lot that went on.”
Epstein would not be charged with federal sex-trafficking crimes until July 2019, several months after the Cohen hearing, but he was already a known convicted sex offender following his 2008 plea agreement in Florida.
A bombshell report has emerged from Blaze News that could unravel the entire narrative of January 6. Forensic gait analysis has identified former U.S. Capitol Police officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff as a near-perfect match for the elusive pipe bomb suspect.
Using cutting-edge software, analysts matched Kerkhoff’s stride with that of the suspect captured on video placing pipe bombs near the DNC and Capitol Hill Club on January 5, 2021. The results? A stunning 94% match from the software—and closer to 98% by human analysis.
This match wasn’t arbitrary. The program analyzed variables like cadence, hip extension, knee flexion, step variance, and even limb angle. Kerkhoff’s slight limp from a past soccer injury proved to be a unique signature, linking her directly to the suspect caught on surveillance.
Kerkhoff, 31, served with the Capitol Police for over four years, specifically as a Civil Disturbance Unit trainer on less-lethal weapons. She resigned in mid-2021, transitioning into a classified security detail tied to the CIA.
Multiple intelligence officials have confirmed the accuracy of Blaze News’ analysis. Shockingly, FBI agents were surveilling a property just one door away from Kerkhoff days after January 6—but were pulled off the assignment without explanation.
Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin confirmed his team was feet from the suspect. He now believes the FBI was knowingly involved in a cover-up. “They were f**king in on it,” he told Blaze News.
Even more damning: Blaze News obtained high-resolution video not released by the FBI, showing the suspect’s gait in crystal-clear detail. Analysts compared this to footage of Kerkhoff from Capitol security cameras and a 2017 Columbus Eagles FC soccer game.
The match was undeniable. Kerkhoff’s gait, body structure, and stride perfectly aligned with the hoodie-wearing suspect.
Her history deepens the intrigue. A standout Division I college goalkeeper, Kerkhoff shattered her leg in 2015 during a game, leaving her with a permanent limp—a detail now at the center of this explosive identification.
Despite years of investigation and millions in rewards, the FBI has failed to identify the bomber. This new evidence casts serious doubt on whether they were ever truly trying.
Seraphin said his team proposed interviewing a nearby Air Force civilian whose address was tied to the suspect’s transit card. The request was denied, and the team was removed from the case.
Kerkhoff was a use-of-force instructor on January 6 and testified in related criminal trials. Video evidence shows her deploying crowd control weapons into peaceful sections of the crowd.
Congressman Thomas Massie grilled FBI Director Wray over this case last year, exposing how the bureau had failed to interview the person who allegedly found the bomb at the DNC. That individual turned out to be a plainclothes Capitol Police officer.
Even Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund admitted he was unaware of any lawful reason for a Capitol officer to be planting bombs. “I had no knowledge it was being carried out, nor was it authorized,” Sund said.
Blaze News also reported the suspect may have initially tried to plant bombs outside the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. Surveillance videos suggest the devices were handled—possibly swapped—early on the morning of January 6.
Shockingly, Secret Service agents stationed outside the DNC were seen lounging and eating lunch mere feet from the bomb, showing no urgency after being alerted.
This suggests the agency may have known the devices were duds, lending weight to suspicions of an inside job.
The FBI’s own video releases were allegedly tampered with to reduce the frame rate, blurring the suspect’s movements. The clearer footage obtained by Blaze News disproves claims of poor visibility.
With a 94%-98% match, corroborating intel sources, and prior proximity during surveillance, the case against Kerkhoff is damning. If confirmed, it will rewrite the history of January 6.
What was framed as an insurrection may have been a manipulated event, enabled—or even facilitated—by government insiders.
BREAKING: The FBI Launches Criminal Investigation Into..
It’s finally happening.
John Brennan and James Comey—two of the most powerful Obama-era intelligence chiefs—are now facing criminal investigations.
Their role in pushing the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative derailed a presidency and deceived the nation.
Sources inside the Justice Department confirm that former CIA Director Brennan is under investigation for allegedly lying to Congress.
Ex-FBI Director Comey is also the subject of an ongoing probe.
Their roles in the origin and manipulation of the Trump-Russia hoax are being scrutinized, years after millions of Americans demanded accountability.
Brennan is accused of pushing the phony Steele dossier into official intelligence assessments.
CIA Russia experts warned the document was so flawed it didn’t meet even “the most basic tradecraft standards.”
“Jasmine Crockett didn’t just insult Trump,” Leavitt said during her White House briefing. “She smeared over 70 million Americans who believe in freedom, God, secure borders, and the Constitution. Calling them mentally ill is not just false—it’s dangerous.”
Brennan ignored the warnings and formalized his demand in writing, insisting the fake dossier be included anyway.
James Comey, for his part, did the same.
The CIA’s review makes clear: FBI leadership under Comey pressured the intelligence community to embed the Steele dossier in their final report on Russian election interference.
The FBI “repeatedly pushed” for its inclusion.
These two didn’t just make bad calls. They rigged the process.
Even worse, Brennan later told Congress under oath that the Steele dossier “wasn’t part of the corpus of intelligence” used in the Russia assessment.
But a newly surfaced email shows that he pushed the dossier hard, despite being warned it could destroy the report’s credibility.
And why did they push it so aggressively? Because it wasn’t about national security.
It was about kneecapping President Trump before he was even sworn in.
“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told the press.
“They all knew what they were doing.”
Millions of tax dollars were wasted. Reputations were destroyed.
“Jasmine Crockett should visit a Trump rally before shooting her mouth off,” Leavitt challenged.
“She’ll meet grandmothers, veterans, farmers, teachers, truckers—all proud Americans who just want their country back. These are the people she called mentally ill. What an absolute disgrace.”
And for what? To push Hillary Clinton’s opposition research as gospel truth.
Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to dig up dirt.
Fusion hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Steele gave them fiction.
Senator Josh Hawley demanded action: “If Brennan and Comey lied to Congress or weaponized their agencies against a political opponent, they should be prosecuted—no exceptions, no excuses.”
This scandal is bigger than Watergate.
It poisoned public trust, warped the 2016 election aftermath, and set the tone for years of baseless attacks on a sitting president.
The investigations are underway.
Now the question is, will the justice system do its job, or will the same people who buried the truth for years bury it again?
Brennan and Comey must be held accountable.
No one is above the law, not even the architects of one of the most dishonest political smear campaigns in American history.
The release of Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 50th birthday book has sent shockwaves through America.
A disturbing handwritten note from former President Bill Clinton has been uncovered, and it is raising new questions about how close Clinton really was to the disgraced financier.
The book, titled
It contained messages and tributes from powerful figures across politics, business, and entertainment. The book was presented to Epstein during a lavish birthday celebration.
Clinton’s entry, now confirmed to be authentic, is one of the most striking pieces in the collection.
His words to Epstein were not casual remarks but a glowing personal tribute.
Clinton wrote, “I particularly value your childlike curiosity and drive to make a difference in the world. And I cherish the comfort of our friendship.”
The choice of words has stunned the public. The reference to Epstein’s “childlike curiosity” is being widely condemned, especially in light of Epstein’s predatory crimes against minors.
Conservatives argue this is not simply a poor turn of phrase. Instead, they say it reveals the disturbing way powerful elites overlooked or even excused Epstein’s behavior.
The book, spanning 238 pages, includes many contributors. But none are as politically explosive as Clinton’s entry.
His note reflects admiration and closeness that can no longer be denied.
The release of this scrapbook came through the House Oversight Committee, which has been investigating Epstein’s ties to the world’s elite.
The public now has access to a document that shows in Clinton’s own handwriting just how close he was to Epstein.
Clinton has long downplayed his association with Epstein. He has repeatedly claimed he barely knew the man. Yet this letter directly contradicts that narrative.
Flight logs already confirmed that Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times. Photos placed him at Epstein’s properties.
Now his own words show he valued Epstein’s friendship.
For years, Democrats and their allies in the media tried to minimize Clinton’s connection to Epstein.
They portrayed him as just another name in a crowded social circle. This letter proves otherwise.
The irony is unavoidable. Clinton, once celebrated as a global statesman, is now exposed as praising a man who abused young girls and built his empire on exploitation.
House Oversight members say this discovery underscores why full transparency is necessary. Americans deserve to know who in positions of power enabled Epstein and protected him for decades.
Former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes reacted to the revelation by saying the words were “astonishing in hindsight.” She noted they show “a disturbing pattern of minimizing who Epstein really was.”
This reaction has fueled calls for further investigation. Many Americans now want to know what else has been hidden about Clinton’s ties to Epstein.
The silence from Clinton’s camp is also telling. No official denial or clarification has been issued since the note was made public. That silence is being read as an admission that there is no defense for what he wrote.
Republican lawmakers have seized on the issue, pointing out that Epstein’s victims have been denied justice for too long while powerful figures were shielded. Clinton’s entry is now evidence of that protection.
Epstein was first convicted in 2008, receiving a light sentence that outraged the public. Many believe he was protected by his network of influential friends. Clinton’s praise only confirms how entrenched those friendships were.
BREAKING: Anna Paulina Luna Claims The Biden DOJ DESTROYED…
Representative Anna Paulina Luna has leveled explosive information against the Biden Department of Justice, claiming that critical materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have been deliberately destroyed.
This assertion, if proven true, would represent one of the most damning instances of governmental obstruction and cover-up in recent history.
Luna, who chairs a congressional task force focused on federal transparency, has stated unequivocally that she possesses evidence implicating high-ranking officials in the DOJ.
According to her, these officials not only failed to disclose materials related to Epstein but actively destroyed them to conceal the extent of powerful individuals’ involvement in Epstein’s criminal network.
She introduced legislation titled the SHRED Act, aimed at imposing severe penalties on government agents who destroy or conceal federal records. The proposed bill calls for 20 years to life in prison for anyone caught eliminating evidence in cases of national significance.
“Even if they are conducting a criminal investigation, you should probably pick up the phone and call us,” Luna told Fox News. “We have been more than patient.”
These developments come amid growing conservative suspicion that the Biden administration has no interest in unmasking Epstein’s full network. The notion that key records could be gone forever only intensifies fears that justice is being buried under a bureaucratic rug.
Luna’s office has reportedly sent multiple requests to the Department of Justice demanding clarity on the handling of Epstein-related materials. So far, those inquiries have been met with either vague responses or complete silence.
The congresswoman did not mince words in her public statements, suggesting that the DOJ’s behavior constitutes a deliberate act of obstruction. If true, such actions could violate federal law and trigger an entirely new legal battle.
“The Biden DOJ has obstructed Congress, ignored subpoenas, and now appears to have destroyed critical evidence,” Luna said. “This is corruption at the highest level.”
Critics argue that this is yet another example of double standards in Washington. “Had this been a Republican-led DOJ accused of destroying documents in a child sex trafficking case, the media would be apoplectic,” one conservative commentator noted.
For years, the Epstein case has symbolized the deep rot within America’s elite circles. The financier’s suspicious death in prison and the subsequent lack of high-profile indictments have fueled accusations of a widespread cover-up.
Now, Luna’s allegations breathe new life into those concerns. If records were indeed destroyed, the implications are profound. It would mean that the DOJ, under Biden, actively shielded criminals from justice.
What’s more troubling is that these destroyed materials could have named prominent individuals—politicians, celebrities, and global financiers—who participated in or enabled Epstein’s crimes.
In this context, Luna’s SHRED Act isn’t just legislative symbolism. It is a clarion call for accountability in an era marked by elite impunity. Her bill seeks to ensure that future officials think twice before erasing truth from the historical record.
Despite Luna’s repeated calls for transparency, there has been no formal response from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The silence speaks volumes to many who believe the DOJ is stonewalling on purpose.
Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers have rallied behind Luna. A growing number of Republicans in the House and Senate are voicing support for investigations into the DOJ’s handling of Epstein evidence.
Some have even floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to probe the matter independently. Given the stakes, such a move may be the only path forward to restore public confidence.
This latest scandal further erodes the credibility of an already battered Department of Justice. From the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco to the political targeting of conservatives, the agency has been repeatedly accused of partisanship.
Now, with Epstein documents allegedly destroyed, the DOJ’s credibility is in tatters. Public trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
The American people deserve the truth. And if Luna’s allegations are accurate, they deserve justice, no matter how high the guilty parties sit.
BREAKING: Tom Homan Reveals an Investigation is Underway Into AOC For…
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that a federal investigation is underway into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for allegedly employing a criminal illegal alien and helping others evade federal immigration authorities.
Speaking from his post as one of President Trump’s top immigration officials, Homan revealed that ICE has launched a formal probe after multiple allegations emerged against the congresswoman.
“This is a live federal investigation. We’ve asked ICE to take immediate action,” Homan said during a televised interview.
The individual in question is reportedly an undocumented alien with a criminal record, unlawfully hired by AOC’s office.
According to internal reports, the employee had multiple encounters with law enforcement and should have been deported years ago.
Homan stressed that AOC’s potential interference with ICE operations could amount to obstruction of justice.
“This goes beyond hiring an illegal alien. There’s evidence she actively helped shield this person from deportation,” he stated.
Conservative leaders are sounding the alarm, warning that this may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to far-left officials flouting immigration laws.
AOC has long been known for championing sanctuary cities and attacking border agents, often labeling them as “racist” and “oppressors.”
Now, critics say her reckless rhetoric has crossed over into potentially criminal behavior.
“If a sitting congresswoman used her office to harbor an illegal alien, that’s a clear violation of federal law,” Homan declared.
Sources inside ICE say agents have already gathered documentation and begun interviewing individuals connected to the case.
Evidence suggests AOC may have leveraged her political power to block enforcement action against the individual she employed.
House Republicans are demanding accountability, with several calling for a formal ethics investigation into her conduct.
“This is what happens when radicals gain power. They think the law doesn’t apply to them,” said Rep. Andy Biggs.
Democrats quickly circled the wagons, accusing Homan of launching a political smear campaign.
But Homan stood firm, reminding the public that the law is the law and political office offers no immunity from prosecution.
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about national security and public trust,” he said.
Homan emphasized that ICE agents are working independently and that the White House is not interfering in the investigation.
“We are following the facts. If those facts point to criminal activity, then action will be taken,” Homan confirmed.
Legal experts say AOC could face charges ranging from unlawful employment to obstruction of federal agents, depending on the evidence.
Citizens outraged by the news are demanding swift justice and a full public accounting of the congresswoman’s actions.
Homan urged Americans not to let political ideology blind them to the seriousness of the allegations.
“We must restore the rule of law,” he concluded. “No one, no matter how powerful, is above it.”
Chaos on the Mexico-Querétaro Highway: Chain-Reaction Crash Sparks Questions and Delays
What started as a seemingly ordinary Wednesday morning quickly descended into chaos for drivers along one of Mexico’s busiest highways.
The Mexico-Querétaro Highway, a crucial artery for commuters and transporters alike, turned into a scene of confusion and gridlock near Huehuetoca when a massive multi-vehicle crash brought traffic to a screeching halt—and raised more than a few questions.
In a dramatic turn of events on July 31, 2025, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was officially removed from her position on a key congressional committee following years of debate over her controversial past statements. The decision, finalized after a contentious vote, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing partisan battle over committee assignments, reigniting discussions about accountability and representation in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The move stems from remarks Omar made during her tenure, particularly those criticized as antisemitic, including a 2019 tweet suggesting that support for Israel was driven by financial influence from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Although Omar apologized for the comment at the time, it, along with other statements questioning U.S. foreign policy, has been a focal point for her critics. House Republicans, leveraging their majority, pushed for her removal, arguing that her views compromise her ability to serve objectively on a committee handling sensitive international matters.
The vote, which passed with a narrow margin, reflects a broader trend of using committee assignments as political leverage. Democrats decried the action as hypocritical, pointing to the reinstatement of GOP members like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar to committees despite their own controversial statements. “This is not about accountability; it’s about silencing a voice that challenges the status quo,” a Democratic aide remarked anonymously. Omar herself has remained defiant, stating that her removal would not diminish her influence, a sentiment echoed by supporters who see her as a champion for marginalized communities.
Omar’s removal follows a pattern established in 2023, when she was ousted from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over similar concerns. This latest action targets another committee role, though specifics remain unclear as the House leadership has yet to disclose the exact panel. Her history as a Somali refugee and one of the first Muslim women in Congress has made her a polarizing figure, with some viewing her as a target of bigotry and others as unfit for certain oversight roles.
The decision has sparked varied reactions. Trending discussions on X highlight a divide, with some users celebrating it as long-overdue accountability, while others condemn it as a politically motivated attack on diversity. Omar’s allies argue her perspective, shaped by her immigrant background, is invaluable, especially on issues like human rights and U.S. foreign policy in Africa.
As the dust settles, the White House has yet to issue an official statement, but the move is likely to intensify partisan tensions ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. For Omar, who has faced death threats and bigotry throughout her career, this latest chapter underscores her resilience, though it raises questions about the future of progressive voices in Congress.
