Lutnick to Brief House Panel on Epstein Ties in Closed Interview

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will testify behind closed doors before the House Oversight and Reform Committee about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, in a session tied to a broader Epstein investigation after the DOJ released files showing Lutnick maintained contact post-2008. Lutnick previously said he cut ties in 2005, but records also show Epstein-related scheduling and a 2012 island visit. The hearing aims to address lawmakers’ questions; a transcript will be released later. Lutnick has not been accused of wrongdoing, though some Republicans have pressed for accountability and even resignation, while the White House has voiced support for him.”

Bianca Censori testified about Ye and the mansion, including remarks that he disliked stairs, as Tony Saxon’s fraud case surrounding the property proceeds.

L.A. firefighter says Lachman fire still smoldering when crews left

A Los Angeles firefighter testified that he observed hot spots and smoldering ground at the Lachman fire on Jan. 2 and says his warnings were ignored as crews left, just days before embers rekindled into the Palisades fire that killed 12. The sworn account supports earlier reporting that a battalion chief ordered leaving despite signs the fire wasn’t fully extinguished, a narrative at odds with LAFD’s after-action claims and the statements of other firefighters whose depositions described the fire as out.

Maxwell’s pardon pitch tests Trump’s calculus on the Epstein case

Ghislaine Maxwell proposes full testimony in exchange for clemency from President Trump, a move that has sparked scrutiny of its credibility and impact. Legal experts say clemency conditions are unclear and may offer little real insight into Epstein’s crimes, while victims’ advocates condemn the negotiation as self-serving; Trump’s stance remains undecided and the White House says clemency is not a priority.
