Woody Allen recalls Jeffrey Epstein dinner parties served by ‘young women'
Woody Allen frequently attended 'interesting' dinner parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein, which he recalled being attended by an eclectic collection of VIP guests being 'well served' by young women. A typewritten letter obtained by the New York Times and reportedly penned by Allen in 2016, described 'many' of the 89-year-old filmmaker's visits to the seven-story Upper East Side townhouse that Epstein called home. The letter was reportedly part of a collection of missives written to celebrate the billionaire's 63rd birthday. 'Being neighbors,' Allen said he and and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, were often invited to dine with Epstein and 'always' accepted before the disgraced financier died by suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019. 'Lots of dishes, plenty of choices, numerous desserts, well served,' Allen wrote. 'I say well served — often it's by some professional houseman and just as often by several young women [reminding] one of Castle Dracula,' comparing the experience to the 'young female vampires' seen in a Bela Lugosi horror film. Allen's newly obtained letter comes just weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported that a collection of cards written for Epstein's 50th birthday included a cryptic and suggestive letter from President Trump saying 'may every day be another wonderful secret.' The president has denied penning that note and quickly filed a lawsuit against the Journal seeking billions of dollars in damages. Calls for the Justice Department to further release details of its Epstein investigation have grown louder since Trump came into office in January after indicating he'd make those files public. Former Trump ally Elon Musk suggested in June the reason the investigation is being slowed is because the president — a longtime friend of Epstein — is mentioned in the Epstein files. Neither Trump nor Allen have been accused of any wrongdoing involving Epstein. Allen famously married Soon-Yi Previn in 1997, when she was 27 and he was 62. Previn was the adopted daughter of Allen's ex-girlfriend, Mia Farrow.

Trump's Copper Tariffs Apply to $15 Billion of Goods So Far
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump's first wave of copper tariffs will hit imports valued at more than $15 billion last year, highlighting the potential inflationary impact on American buyers. Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds All Hail the Humble Speed Hump PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station Details of the 50% import duties sparked turmoil in the global copper market last week — including a record slump for US futures — because Trump handed a surprise exemption to key forms of the wiring metal. But that still leaves significant trade volumes subject to tariffs. On Monday, the US Federal Register published a list of exactly what will fall under the 50% levy. It includes semi-processed products — like wires, tubes and rods — worth $7.7 billion last year, plus cabling typically used for phone or internet connections with almost the same value, according to Bloomberg News calculations. And it doesn't stop there. The White House ordered officials to come up with a plan in 90 days to slap tariffs on an array of other copper-intensive manufactured goods. Trump dramatically expanded the scope of US aluminum and steel tariffs earlier this year by adding derivative products. The US copper market is scrambling to understand the implications of Trump's tariffs, which the president said will help boost domestic output of semi-processed and copper-containing products. He stopped short of tariffs on refined metal — an omission that shocked investors but reflects deep US reliance on imports and a pushback by key American buyers, who feared the duties would drive up costs significantly. Still, the US took in at least 600,000 tons of semi-finished copper last year, according to the US International Trade Commission. About 35% came from Canada, followed by Germany, South Korea and Mexico each at less than 10%. Refined copper, spared from the levies, amounted to about 900,000 tons and was worth about $8.4 billion. Tariffs will be levied according to the value of the copper content. That means the 'semis' that are almost pure copper will attract a much higher effective duty rate than, say, internet cables where the copper wiring is only a part of the product.
