Trump has been notified by the Justice Department that his name will be shown in the Epstein Files, a new report reveals: Latest updates

@theJustceptt should release the file immediately. It's about transparency, accountability and healing,” Presley, who voted in favor of the motion, wrote on X Wednesday.

Skydance Media, the production company that will soon take over Paramount, told the Trump administration this week it would eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and hire an ombudsman to consider a “bias complaint” when the $8.4 billion merger is completed on CBS News.
