Epstein survivors sue DOJ and Google for privacy breaches in released files

A class-action filed in Northern California accuses the Justice Department and Google of exposing victim-identifying information in Epstein-related files released in 2025–26, allegedly outing about 100 survivors and enabling further publication by Google. The DOJ says it has removed documents flagged for redaction and continues reviewing for privacy protections, while survivors say the ongoing online publication and low redaction accuracy retraumatizes victims and endangers them.

ODU attack gun sale leads to federal charges against dealer

A man, Kenya Micchell Chapman, was arrested on federal charges for selling the Glock pistol used by Mohamed Bailor Jalloh in the Old Dominion University ROTC shooting. Chapman is charged with making false statements to purchase a firearm and dealing firearms without a license; prosecutors say he had ATF scrutiny for straw purchasing, admitted stealing the gun about a year ago, and sold it to Jalloh for $100 in the week before the attack. Jalloh, a convicted ISIS supporter on probation, opened fire in the ROTC classroom, killing instructor Brandon Shah and wounding others before being killed by police; investigators found Chapman’s number on Jalloh’s phone, linking him to the sale.

Judge curbs DOJ access to journalist's devices in leak probe

Judge curbs DOJ access to journalist's devices in leak probe

A federal magistrate in Virginia ruled the Justice Department may not search the contents of devices seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of a leaked-classified-documents probe, saying allowing a broad review would resemble an unlawful general warrant. The court will conduct the filtering itself to isolate material tied to the case, citing concerns about Natanson’s work product and First Amendment protections. Natanson is not believed to be a target, and the ruling follows a home raid linked to a contractor charged in the leak case, highlighting tensions between leak investigations and press freedom.

Eyewitness to Martinez shooting dies in San Antonio crash, complicating case

Eyewitness to Martinez shooting dies in San Antonio crash, complicating case

A key eyewitness to Ruben Ray Martinez’s fatal shooting by a federal immigration agent last year, Joshua Orta, died in a fiery car crash in San Antonio this weekend. Orta had disputed the government’s narrative that Martinez intentionally ran over a DHS agent, saying the car was barely moving and officers fired without warning. Martinez’s family plans a wrongful-death lawsuit; Texas Rangers are investigating the shooting, and DHS says it stands by its initial account. Orta’s death removes a crucial eyewitness from the case and could affect how the incident is understood and prosecuted.

Utah judge lets prosecutors stay on Charlie Kirk shooting case amid recusal bid

A Utah County judge declined to recuse the Utah County Attorney’s Office over a lead prosecutor’s child attending the Turning Point USA event where Charlie Kirk was shot, ruling the attendance did not materially influence prosecutors’ decisions. The court allowed the death-penalty case against Tyler Robinson to proceed, noting the prosecutors have no plans to call the child as a witness. The defense argued that the office’s handling of the potential conflict showed bias, but Judge Tony Graf said there was no appearance of bias and kept the office in charge. If needed, the defense can subpoena the child, and Robinson’s preliminary hearing is scheduled to begin May 18 over a multi-day proceeding.

New evidence surfaces in Nancy Guthrie kidnapping probe

Three weeks after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home, CNN outlines a visual guide to the evidence: surveillance footage shows a masked man at the door attempting to block Guthrie’s Nest camera, investigators recovered a backpack and gloves, DNA found on Guthrie’s property has no matches in CODIS, and ransom notes are being scrutinized with genetic genealogy as a potential next step. A private donor has added a $100,000 reward and authorities have boosted the reward to $100,000, bringing total offers to $200,000 as investigators pursue tips and leads.

DOJ Drops Charges in ICE Shooting Case After Contradictory Evidence Emerges

U.S. prosecutors moved to drop criminal charges against Venezuelan men Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in a Minneapolis ICE shooting case after newly discovered video evidence contradicted the government's initial account and ICE admitted officers made false statements; the dismissal with prejudice underscores credibility concerns about official narratives in federal immigration enforcement cases.
