Parnas: How much money was funneled through these banks to Epstein? Wyden: I think it’s certainly well over a billion dollars. One of the things we pointed out yesterday is that Deutsche Bank failed to properly report to the Treasury Department more than $250 million in suspicious transactions

Her last "threatening" words to the ICE agent were, with a smile, "I'm not mad at you." His last words to her, after he shot her in cold blood, were "Fucking bitch." Perhaps, perpetually lying JD Vance is as big a sociopath as Jonathan Ross.

We think there must be a method to his madness. The truth is worse. While we (press, analysts, publics) try to figure out his game, he is high on his own supply. Yes, the summit was a distraction from Epstein, but it was also Trump acting on his impulses with all the power of the presidency.

House GOP leadership has apparently decided to give Texas $12 billion dollars, in a transparent plan to reimburse Greg Abbott for Operation Lone Star, the Texas border wall, and the migrant buses, as a way of winning over holdouts on reconciliation.

(b) USE OF FUNDS.—The Secretary of Homeland Security shall use amounts made available under subsection (a) to make grants to States for costs associated with actions taken on or after January 21, 2021, to assist the Federal border security missions to enforce the immigra-6 tion laws, including through detention and removal, and to combat the unlawful entry of persons and contraband.
