DOJ: Over a Million More Epstein Documents Discovered, Weeks Needed to Release Them The Department of Justice announced on Christmas Eve that over a million additional documents potentially tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case have been uncovered. DOJ officials said that reviewing and releasing the material will take several weeks due to the massive volume and the need to redact sensitive content to protect victims. This update comes after a partial release of around 750,000 previously reviewed documents, with an estimated 700,000 files still pending before the latest discovery. The Justice Department stressed its commitment to comply with federal law and the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump earlier this year. Leadership reportedly sent emergency requests to prosecutors in Florida to volunteer over the holidays to assist in document review and redactions. The effort underscores the scale of the task and the DOJ’s urgency to release the files responsibly. Tuesday’s document dump included hundreds of emails and correspondence from law enforcement and prosecutors investigating Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell following Epstein’s 2019 prison death. President Trump, who knew Epstein in the early 2000s, is referenced multiple times in the files. DOJ officials emphasized that appearance in the documents does not imply wrongdoing, noting that some claims are “untrue and sensationalist” and were used politically in the 2020 election. Lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna, continue to press for the release of FBI statements and emails from Epstein’s devices, with some threatening contempt charges if the DOJ fails to comply. The massive ongoing review highlights the complexity of balancing transparency, legal requirements, and victim privacy. As millions of documents await release, the public and media can expect the story to evolve over the coming weeks. #Epstein #DOJ #Transparency #Trump #DocumentRelease #Maxwell #BreakingNews

Swiss Lawmakers Call for Bribery Probe Over Gifts to Trump Amid Tariff Decision Two Swiss lawmakers are calling for a bribery investigation after reports that former President Donald Trump received high-value gifts, including an engraved gold bar and a Rolex table clock, from a delegation seeking lower tariffs. According to reports, tariffs were reduced roughly a week and a half later, prompting questions about ethics, transparency, and whether the gifts influenced policy decisions. Supporters of the inquiry say the situation underscores the need for clear boundaries between diplomacy and personal enrichment, while critics argue conclusions should wait for a full investigation. The calls for scrutiny add to ongoing debates over accountability and corruption in high-level government dealings #Politics #Corruption #Accountability #Trump #Tariffs #Ethics #GovernmentTransparency #WorldNews #NewsBreak

How the Presidency Has Supercharged a Business Empire 💼 A new El País exposé reveals something few have ever seen before: a U.S. president whose personal fortune appears to have grown significantly during his time in office — driven not just by real estate, but by crypto, branding, and a global business overhaul.  🔎 Key Highlights • According to one estimate, Trump’s net worth surged from about US $2.3 billion to US $7.2 billion between 2024 and 2025.  • The “Trump 2.0” portfolio goes far beyond real estate: it now includes a social-media platform, a family-controlled crypto enterprise, and global licensing deals under the Trump brand.  • Iconic properties — golf courses, hotels, luxury residences — remain central, but newer ventures are driving growth faster.  • Critics argue this level of wealth accumulation while holding public office raises serious questions about conflicts of interest, transparency, and the mixing of public duty with personal profit.  🧭 What This Means for Politics & Power When someone can leverage political visibility, brand value, and shifting regulations to supercharge private business interests — simultaneously running a global enterprise and heading the country — lines begin to blur between governance and personal enrichment. This isn’t just about real estate or assets. It’s about how influence, policy, and brand power can reshape wealth — fast. ⸻ 💬 What do you think? Is this a new model of “business-backed politics,” or a problematic overlap of power and personal gain? #Politics #Business #Ethics #Leadership #Wealth #CorporateGovernance #Transparency #Trump #RealEstate #Crypto
