We've just confirmed that Epstein's lawyers hired private investigators to remove potentially critical evidence from his Florida mansion. Oversight Democrats are demanding access to these hard drives and files, especially if they provide insight into Epstein's crimes.

For months, Hegseth has been asking Army leaders, including Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, to remove the officers’ names, the NYT reported Friday. After Driscoll allegedly refused to remove the names, citing the officers’ excellent records, Hegseth allegedly took matters into his own hands.

It's easy to fold Robert Mueller into a long list of people who failed to hold Trump accountable, but I don't think that's fair. I read the Mueller report, and it was damning. He showed that there was significant collusion with Russian efforts and likely more undiscovered because of obstruction.
