I cover corruption, immigration, and affordability, and how the three intersect under the Trump administration. I'm also part of COURIER's investigative series, The Cover-Up, where we dig into the incriminating bits hiding within the Epstein Files.

For the first time in a long time, the White House did not send out the press rotation for the week. Thankfully, they do have an email anyone can reach out to with questions, and I encourage anyone concerned about how the Trump admin is treating journalists to drop them a line: press@who.eop.gov

Going to cover the Oversight/Leon Black presser as best I can, but this is the closest I can get since the House Press Gallery has been dragging its feet on granting me a press pass. But don’t worry! They credentialed Daily Wire and Gateway Pundit, so I’m sure coverage will be robust and reliable.

Everything We Know About Epstein's Zorro Ranch.
In the 33 years that Jeffrey Epstein owned Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, it has only been in recent weeks that an investigation into the activities that took place there actually began. Now, COURIER's National Correspondent Camaron Stevenson has compiled everything that has been revealed about the ranch, from testimonies, financial documents, and more. The question is: when there is this much information to be gained from continuing to search Epstein's properties and communications, why did Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice end the official Epstein Investigation in 2025? Camaron Stevenson is the National Correspondent at COURIER Newsroom and author of Below The Beltway.
