Trump Praised Epstein as ‘The Greatest' in Note: Report
As allegations over Donald Trump's relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein escalate, the latest report claims that the president's name appears in a list of contributors for a 50th birthday book to Epstein, and that in another book, a copy of Trump: The Art of the Comeback, Trump left Epstein a flattering note. The New York Times today alleged that among a list of Epstein associates asked to contribute birthday messages to the book, Trump's name appeared among the likes of billionaire Leslie H. Wexner and Alan C. Greenberg, CEO of the failed Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns. The Wall Street Journal also reported this week that Bill Clinton, Leon Black, and Vera Wang were among five dozen contributors to the 2003 book. The Times report arrives a week after the Journal dropped a bombshell report claiming Trump wrote a birthday letter to Epstein in the early 2000s in which the future president, addressing the future convicted sex offender, wrote that 'we have certain things in common.' The Journal alleged that the letter signed with Trump's name was outlined by a drawing of a naked woman. Trump has vehemently denied that he wrote the letter and claimed that he doesn't 'draw pictures,' despite having a well-documented history of drawing pictures for charity events. In the Times report published today, the newspaper also claimed that Trump once addressed Epstein in a note left in a copy of his book, Trump: The Art of the Comeback, that belonged to Epstein. The inscription was allegedly signed 'Donald,' dated the month the book released, 'Oct '97,' and praised Epstein: 'To Jeff — You are the greatest!' While Trump continues to deny the mounting allegations against him, the Journal reported on Wednesday that the Justice Department told the president that his name appears multiple times in the government's files related to the convicted sex offender. A recent South Park episode took a jab at the president's alleged relationship with Epstein, attacked his 'teeny tiny' manhood, and depicted him as literally in bed with the devil. The White House has been raging since it aired. 'Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone in a statement this morning. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.'More from Rolling Stone Trump Is Trying to Hide the Cost of Renovating His New Air Force One Supreme Court Lets Trump Enact His Authoritarian Agenda on Its 'Shadow Docket' Trump's Senior Moments Are Getting Worse Best of Rolling Stone The Useful Idiots New Guide to the Most Stoned Moments of the 2020 Presidential Campaign Anatomy of a Fake News Scandal The Radical Crusade of Mike Pence

KZN cops arrest three suspected poachers found with rhino horn and two unlicensed rifles
Three suspected poachers were arrested in Paulpietersburg on Saturday. They allegedly accosted and tied up security guards and robbed them of a shotgun. They are expected to appear in court on charges of armed robbery, rhino poaching, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested three suspected poachers who were found in possession of two unlicensed rifles and a rhino horn in Paulpietersburg on Saturday. It's alleged that the men, aged between 34 and 50, entered a game reserve and stormed up to two security guards while wearing face masks. They tied up the guards and robbed them of a shotgun, an R5 assault rifle, as well as their cellphones in the early hours of Friday morning. They then proceeded to shoot a rhino and remove its horn. They fled the scene, leaving behind the shotgun, next to the rhino carcass. According to KZN police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Magwaza, when they arrived at the scene, the suspects had already fled the game reserve. 'Police members, together with private security personnel, worked tirelessly throughout the day looking for the suspects. With assistance from community members, the suspects were eventually arrested as they took refuge in the bush,' he said. The suspects were found with an R5 rifle, a 303-calibre rifle, and a rhino horn. Magwaza added that the vehicle in which they were traveling was also seized by the police. The suspects were charged with armed robbery, rhino poaching, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. They are expected to appear at the Vryheid Magistrate's Court on Monday.
