- Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Trump a ‘Traitor’ Over Handling of Epstein File...
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that those who suppressed the release of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein “should be considered traitors,” claiming that the term also applied to President Donald Trump. Greene joined Wednesday’s edition of The Source to discuss, among other topics, the latest revelations about the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein files revealed in a new excerpt from a book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Some of the wildest moments reported in the excerpt include Trump’s scolding of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk over a Turning Point USA that focused too heavily on Epstein, an Epstein survivors claim that Trump had a thing for “nipple abuse,” Vice President JD Vance pitch that Tucker Carlson interview Epstein co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, in prison, and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s predicting the Epstein saga would be Trump’s “Iran-Contra.” Collins asked Greene about another of the book’s claims: that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, the vice president, and a slew of Trump’s other top staff met in the Situation Room to discuss Epstein. “Well, unfortunately, that’s not news to me,” said Greene. ” I’m not surprised by this news, Caitlin, because I also had a very uncomfortable phone call with the president before the release of the Epstein files, where he told me that his friends would get hurt if the files were released. And I’ll never forget that.” She continued, calling out Trump for calling her a “traitor,” and claiming that those who tried to stop the release of the Epstein files were the true traitors. When Collins asked Greene to clarify whether she meant that Trump himself was a traitor, Greene said she did. Read their exchange below: GREENE: I’ll also never forget the text message he sent me when I told him that my son’s life was being threatened because he was calling me a traitor, because I fought to release Epstein files, where he told me that I deserved it. And so this doesn’t shock me that his team was paralyzed. But I tell you what it is, it’s absolutely ridiculous and unforgivable. We’re talking about pedophiles and rapists of the elite class of people that never get held accountable for anything. So if they were paralyzed and scared and didn’t know what to do about releasing the Epstein files, these people are absolutely absurd. They don’t deserve the American… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - ‘Shame On His Team’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Blames Trump’s Staff for ‘Ma...Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s staff made him “look like a fool” in his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker. Trump stormed out of a Meet the Press interview on Sunday, shortly after claiming that he “didn’t guarantee” that there would be no new wars during his presidency. The claim has since been repeatedly fact-checked by multiple news outlets that noted the scores of times Trump made that claim on social media and on video. On Wednesday’s edition of The Source, Greene blamed the moment on Trump’s staffing, claiming it was their job to be “showing him his previous videos.” Collins pressed Greene on whether she believed Trump remembered promising there would not be conflict, to which Greene replied that it was his team’s job to inform him of his previous statements. Read their exchange below: COLLINS: I mean, when you hear that at the end that he didn’t guarantee no war, I mean, how do you hear that? GREENE: Well, I hear it the way that he said it so many times in the past. You know, I don’t think the president’s comms team is doing him any favors. After that interview came out and he’s on record claiming he never said that he wouldn’t go to war, no more foreign wars, you know, people rolled out video after video of him saying on the campaign trail, just like I heard him say personally so many times as I campaigned with him, where he said, “No more foreign wars, I will end war. I will bring world peace.” He said that over and over again. And there was video montage after video montage, and shame on his team for not showing him those videos of what he said and what he promised to the American people, because it’s making him look like a fool. COLLINS: I mean, do you think he remembers making that promise, or do you think he didn’t mean it when he made it? Or what’s your read of it? GREENE: I don’t– I’m not really sure. But I think that, you know, his team, his staff, who is supposed to help the president, advise the president and make sure that he is truthful and honest and transparent with the American people, they should be showing him his previous videos because the internet is does not forgive, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Fox’s Laura Ingraham Tells Republican Senator, ‘People Are Hurting’ Financ...Fox News host Laura Ingraham acknowledged an alarming inflation report on Wednesday, telling one Republican senator, “People are hurting.” On Wednesday, President Donald Trump pledged to continue strikes on Iran this week after the country downed a U.S. Army Apache helicopter, whose crew was rescued in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. retaliated on Tuesday, but the president said he wants more strikes. In response to the war launched against it by the U.S. and Israel in February, Iran has effectively closed the strait, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. The closure has created upward pressure on the price of oil, gas, and other commodities, as reflected by Wednesday’s release of the latest Consumer Price Index number, which rose 4.2% year-over-year, the highest in three years. During Wednesday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, the host interviewed Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and warned Republicans not to ignore such data. “I talk to a lot of people, people are sick of this,” she said of the Iran war. “People who are like, just finish it. We should’ve finished it earlier. I mean, it is what it is. We are where we are, but those inflation numbers that came in today at 4.2%, the CPI. And there are some nuances with those numbers, but nevertheless, people are feeling this. And to minimize that is unwise for a Republican to do. People are hurting. They see a light at the end of the tunnel, a lot of folks, but they want these energy prices to come down.” She then asked Sheehy if he thinks Iranian leadership is making calculations based on the domestic situation in the U.S. “Are they looking at that?” she asked. “Of course they are,” Sheehy replied. “We don’t in any way dismiss the inflation numbers. The gas prices we see today, the inflation we see today, those were the gas prices and inflation under Biden. That was the norm. This is a temporary bump that is the result of us trying to solve a half-century threat that will continue to threaten Americans for generations to come if we don’t solve it.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox’s Laura Ingraham Tells Republican Senator, ‘People Are Hurting’ Financially Amid Trump’s War first appeared on Mediaite.

- Erin Burnett Asks Congressman if Bill Gates Was a ‘Victim’ of Epstein After ...CNN host Erin Burnett asked Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) if Bill Gates was a “victim” of Jeffrey Epstein after the Microsoft co-founder told Congress on Wednesday that Epstein had blackmailed him. Gates appeared before Congress to discuss his relationship with the late sex offender in a closed-door session. The billionaire reportedly called his relationship with Epstein a “grave error in judgment,” though he denied any wrongdoing and claimed their relationship was purely professional. During questioning, he reportedly also claimed that a person connected with Epstein was aware of one of Gates’ extramarital affairs, and that the financier had attempted to blackmail him to “re-engage” after Gates pulled back from their relationship. “Based on what has been released in the files, Epstein was working to use information about my infidelities—in addition to many lies that he layered on top—to pressure me to re-engage with him,” Gates said. “He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda.” Burnett noted this revelation on Wednesday’s edition of OutFront, asking Garcia if that meant that Gates was perhaps another “victim” of Epstein. “He said, if I understand correctly, Congressman, he said that Epstein blackmailed him. That Epstein found out that Bill Gates had affairs and then used that to blackmail him,” she said. “Do you believe that Bill Gates, in any way, was a victim, as such an allegation seems to suggest?” Gracia responded that Gates had chosen to work with Epstein, disputing that he was a victim and calling his actions “disgusting.” “I don’t think Bill Gates was a victim. I mean, look, I think that Bill Gates also made the decision, after he knew that Jeffrey Epstein had committed a horrific act, had essentially pleaded guilty of that act against a minor, he chose to have a relationship. He chose to attend meetings. He chose to essentially continue to work with Jeffrey Epstein and try to get additional support for his foundation,” he said. “Now, look, Mr. Gates obviously regrets that, but it is a decision that we see over and over by these powerful men. They understand, they know what’s happening. They hear things about Mr. Epstein. They saw what happened with this trial. And it’s to me, disgusting that people choose to continue to interact with him.” Watch above via CNN.The post Erin Burnett Asks Congressman if Bill Gates Was… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- WSJ Files Scathing Motion Against Trump in Epstein Lawsuit, Calls His Claims Dis...
L: AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson, R: House Oversight Committee The Wall Street Journal has responded to President Donald Trump’s second attempt to sue for defamation over an article about an infamous note in Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday book, filing a scathing motion to dismiss that excoriates the president’s legal team for “groundless” and dishonest arguments. In 2025, Trump sued the Journal, the Journal’s publishing firm Dow Jones, parent company News Corp, owner Rupert Murdoch, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, and two Journal reporters, Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, for defamation. The complaint alleged that a July 17, 2025 Journal article by Safdar and Palazzolo reported that Trump had contributed a letter and a lewd drawing to a birthday album for Epstein, compiled by the convicted sex predator’s accomplice and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump vociferously denied the report, threatened to sue, and then did so a day later. Legal experts were highly skeptical of the lawsuit’s merit from the beginning. Because the president is a public figure, he has to prove the newspaper acted with “actual malice” in order to sustain a defamation claim; it’s a very high bar that political figures often fail to meet when attempting to sue journalists who have criticized them or published unflattering stories. In September, the House Oversight Committee metaphorically nuked Trump’s case from orbit when it released a trove of materials provided by Epstein’s estate, including the birthday book. Inside the book was a page that said it was contributed by Trump, along with his signature, message, and drawing of a nude female figure — exactly as the Journal’s reporting had described it. In April, Judge Darrin P. Gayles of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, an Obama appointee, dismissed Trump’s complaint, finding that it had “not plausibly alleged that the Defendants published the Article with actual malice.” The judge followed up in May by rejecting Trump’s request to engage in discovery and allowed some additional time to file an amended complaint. Trump’s 25-page First Amended Complaint, filed in late May, names the same defendants and again alleges two claims, defamation per se and defamation per quod and demands $10 billion in damages. The Journal defendants filed their response Wednesday: a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay discovery while the court rules on the motion to dismiss. The 22-page motion to dismiss shredded Trump’s amended complaint because it “does… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘Name the Time and Place’: Stephen A. Smith Hits Back at Trump for Calling H...ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith responded to President Donald Trump’s attacks against him on Wednesday, telling the president directly that if he thought “those one-liners gonna work, you got another thing coming.” Trump and Smith’s feud has dragged on for days after the commentator spoke out against the president attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Trump trashed Smith after the game, doubling down on the attack in a Wednesday morning Truth Social post. He wrote: Stephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low IQ individual. In other words, he’s “dumb as a rock,” and totally unqualified to ever think of running for high political office, or even low political office, for that matter! He’d get annihilated in a debate by the most incompetent of politicians. Joe Biden’s now “fabled” performance would look great by comparison to anything that this loudmouth huckster has to offer, which isn’t much! Within a few weeks, they’d laugh him out of politics!!! Smith hit back at Trump, reminding him of his past remark to Chris Cuomo that he’d “love to see” Smith run for president. He then called out Trump for the hypocrisy of his attack. “Because I called them out for inconvenience in the momentum that we had built in route to entering game three for the NBA Finals, I’m a fool,” he said. “He actually called me arrogant. You, of all people, will call somebody arrogant? Really, Mr. President? That’s where you’re going?” Smith repeatedly said that even though “the president wanted to get personal,” he would not, claiming, “I respect the office,” before adding a further reason for his restraint. “I will not disrespect this man on a personal level. And I have to say this before I go where I’m going. The president said I was a nice guy. I got to tell you something. He’s always been nice to me. The first insult or cruel thing he said about me was in the quote on his post on his Truth Social platform,” he said. “Of all the years that I’ve known Donald Trump, that’s the first mean-spirited thing he’s ever done to me personally.” Though Smith stated directly that he had no intention or desire to run for office, he took issue with the president’s claim about his performance in a debate. He told Trump to “name the time and place,” launching into a series… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
