George Santos Has Truly WTF Response To Kevin Spacey's Call To Release Epstein Files
Spacey took to X and publicly asked someone, anyone, to 'release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough.'
He added, 'I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.'
Although Spacey's name does appear in unsealed documents related to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, he hasn't been accused of helping facilitate Epstein's alleged child sex trafficking ring.
The actor was accused of molesting a then-14-year-old actor in 1986, but he was found not liable by a New York jury in 2022.
Spacey was also acquitted in London in 2023 on nine charges of sexual assault involving four theater actors.
Release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough. I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.

For some reason, Santos, a former U.S. representative now preparing to serve a seven-year sentence for federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, felt obliged to comment on Spacey's post.
The former Republican lawmaker also used a homophobic slur in referring to Spacey, even though Santos is himself openly gay.
Says the sexual predator!Sit the fuck down homo! 🙄💅🏻 https://t.co/eNgCFIqBX7

Many people on social media were shocked and confused by Santos' vitriol.
One person advised the convicted former representative, 'You should probably sit this one out!'
Uhmmmm sir, only one of you is a convicted felon who's going to prison, and it wasn't the award winning actor. You should probably sit this one out!

Ghislaine Maxwell could use ‘government misconduct' to challenge imprisonment
The family of disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has said new evidence such as 'government misconduct' could be used to challenge her imprisonment. The 63-year-old was found guilty in December 2021 of luring young girls to massage rooms for paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein to molest between 1994 and 2004. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison at the federal court in the southern district of New York (SDNY) in June 2022. The US government has faced a backlash from President Donald Trump's support base following words from Attorney General Pam Bondi that there was no evidence Epstein had a 'client list'. Maxwell's family have frequently claimed she 'did not receive a fair trial', but legal appeals against her sex trafficking convictions have been rejected by the courts. Judges previously dismissed her lawyers' arguments that she 'should never have been prosecuted' because of a 'weird' agreement drafted more than 15 years ago – concluding that the Florida agreement 'does not bind' the United States Attorney's Office for the SDNY. The US justice department has reportedly written to the Supreme Court to ask a judge to further deny Maxwell's appeal against her convictions. During her three-week trial in 2021, jurors heard prosecutors describe Maxwell as 'dangerous', and were told details of how she helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein's various properties for him to sexually abuse. In a statement, the disgraced socialite's family said: 'Our sister Ghislaine did not receive a fair trial. 'Her legal team continues to fight her case in the courts and will file its reply in short order to the government's opposition in the US Supreme Court. 'If necessary, in due course they will also file a writ of habeas corpus in the US district court, SDNY. 'This allows her to challenge her imprisonment on the basis of new evidence such as government misconduct that would have likely changed the trial's outcome.' The statement continued: 'Following the government's response, David Oscar Markus, counsel of record for our sister in her petition to the United States Supreme Court, had this comment: 'I'd be surprised if President Trump knew his lawyers were asking the Supreme Court to let the Government break a deal. 'He's the ultimate dealmaker and I'm sure he'd agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it. 'With all the talk about who's being prosecuted and who isn't, it's especially unfair that Ghislaine Maxwell remains in prison based on a promise the US government made and broke.' 'These are sentiments with which we profoundly concur.' Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide.

Seth Meyers Actually Agrees With Trump's Latest Boast, But For A Brutal Reason
Seth Meyers on Tuesday skewered Donald Trump's latest wild brag. The president this weekend — while defending himself from the MAGA base's fury over his administration's handling of files linked to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein ― boasted on his Truth Social platform: 'We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD.' Meyers had thoughts. 'Yeah,' the 'Late Night' host initially agreed. But then he added: 'That's not why everyone's talking about it. That's like saying, 'Everyone is watching 'Love Island' because it's so free of controversy.'' Meyers also mocked Trump's gate-crashing of English soccer side Chelsea's lifting of the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and his addition of more gold embellishments to the Oval Office. Watch Meyers' full monologue here: Fox News Star Stuns With Unreal Take On 'Nazis' And 'The Blacks' OOPS!

Maryland teacher claims in lawsuit he was falsely branded 'racist' over seating chart dispute
A Maryland high school teacher is taking legal action, claiming he was accused of being a racist after a classroom dispute over seating assignments was mishandled by the school administration. Dan Engler, a former health and English teacher and head coach of the rowing team at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School (B-CC) in Montgomery County, filed a lawsuit against Principal Shelton L. Mooney and the Montgomery County Public School Board, accusing them of defamation and violating school policy in their handling of a February 2023 classroom incident. According to the complaint, two students in Engler's first-period health class asked to sit next to their friends instead of in their assigned seats. Engler, citing the importance of using a seating chart to learn student names and avoid confusion, asked the students — who are Black — to return to their assigned seats. The students refused and remained where they were. Later that day, the students reported the interaction to the assistant principal, alleging Engler told them he would not be able to tell them apart from other students, believing this to be a racial comment. "Part of the misunderstanding may have stemmed from an incident in Engler's English class the previous spring," his attorney wrote in the opposition to the defendants' motion for summary judgment. The filing explained that Engler had read a quote from Muhammad Ali containing a racial slur, which offended some students. Engler apologized, and an investigation determined it was not a "hate bias incident." The students involved in the health class had reportedly heard about the English class incident and had previously asked not to be placed in Engler's class, believing him to be racist. Following the students' report, Principal Mooney was instructed by his superiors to follow the "hate bias incident" protocol. The next day, he informed Engler that he would be placed on paid administrative leave for one day while the incident was under investigation. Two days after the incident, Mooney sent a community-wide email to parents, teachers, staff and students reporting that a "hate bias incident" had occurred at the school. The message said that "several African American students" were told by a teacher that he was "unable to distinguish them from other African American students" in the classroom and that the Montgomery County Police Department had been notified as an internal investigation was ongoing. "Let me be clear, discrimination of any kind must not be tolerated," Mooney wrote before citing the school policy against "insensitivity, disrespect, bias, verbal abuse, harassment, bullying, physical violence or illegal discrimination toward any person." Although Engler was not named in the email, he said he was quickly identified by students, parents and colleagues. He maintains that he did not make the statement attributed to him in the letter and he "did not do anything that could reasonably be classified as a 'hate bias incident.'" The complaint alleges that Engler had his "reputation destroyed by the malicious acts of B-CC's Principal, Defendant Shelton L. Mooney, who falsely accused Engler of racism in a thoughtless, half-baked community-wide email." The lawsuit further claims that Mooney and the school board violated MCPS policies and procedures by sending the community-wide email before an investigation was completed and that they refused to issue a retraction or apology. When Engler returned to work the following week, Mooney allegedly "refused to discuss the matter" with Engler. Upon returning to his classroom, Engler said he was "upset" to find MCPS and B-CC staff holding a "restorative justice" circle in his classroom that they excluded him from joining. Engler told Fox News Digital that the experience took a heavy toll on his mental health. The same day, he went on disability leave for a year and a half before resuming teaching at another school in the district. "I love teaching. I love coaching," he said. "And I really care a great deal about the relationships I have with those kids and helping them learn how to become adults in the best way possible. To lose the confidence of the kids, the trust of the kids, based on what the kids' leadership had to say about me, was devastating. It was identity stealing." According to the complaint, Engler ultimately faced no disciplinary action and the defendants' investigation allegedly failed to find sufficient evidence that the classroom incident constituted a "hate bias incident." "However, the damage to Engler had already been done. Mooney's malicious email falsely branded Engler a racist, destroying his reputation in the B-CC community, causing him deep emotional distress, making it impossible to continue teaching at B-CC, and causing the loss of his position as Head Coach of the B-CC Rowing Team," it continued. Engler criticized the school's handling of the incident as "a tremendous opportunity for virtue signaling." "It really was, and I'm paying the price," he told Fox News Digital. Engler said his reputation has been damaged, and the legal fight has cost his family over $300,000. After attempting to resolve the dispute through administrative proceedings, Engler filed a lawsuit in Montgomery County Circuit Court in August 2023. Engler's case proceeded to trial on Monday. Fox News Digital reached out multiple times to the lawyers for the defendants on the allegations and did not receive a response. The MCPS Board of Education said it was unable to comment on pending litigation. Mooney did not return a request for comment.
