Barron Trump not interested in NYU politics, has a mystery girlfriend on campus
Barron Trump is dating someone in NYU, reports claimed. President Donald Trump's son Barron Trump has distanced himself from the college Republicans, leading many to believe that he is not interested in politics, while he silently increased his net worth by earning $40 million in the last 10 months as he completes the first year at NYU. Reports citing NYU insiders claimed that Barron Trump is dating a mystery woman and this marks his first official relationship on the campus. 'Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot. He does have friends he just (unlike his father Donald Trump) screws the limelight," a source told Newsnation in May. Nothing more about this relationship has come out in public while social media users want Barron to get engaged with Princess Leonor of Spain. Fake videos of their wedding also go viral from time to time. "He can have a girlfriend as the Secret Service guys are well-versed on how to handle this," RadarOnline cited a source confirming that Barron Trump is dating. "Anyone who says being under Secret Service protection would keep him from dating is way off," the source added. Amid speculations over his private life, Barron Trump reportedly earned $40 million through World Liberty Financial, the family's crypto venture which was launched in September last year. WLF reportedly sold $550 million worth of tokens and Barron was listed as the co-founder of the project along with her brothers. One woman on TikTok claimed to be the first girlfriend of Barron when they were kids. The woman claimed that she went to school with Barron Trump in New York and they broke up when Barron moved to Florida from New York. This time, Barron did not move to Washington to stay with his father at the White House and got enrolled in NYU's Stern School of Business. A few months ago, Kaya Walker, then-president of the NYU chapter of College Republicans, said Barron was sort of like an oddity on campus as he just goes to the classes and then goes back home without being assimilated into the NYU culture. Walker then resigned from her post because of her comments about the President's son.

Chris Cuomo rips CNN over report on Iran strike intel: ‘Trying too hard to compete with these pod bros'
Chris Cuomo ripped into his former network CNN on Wednesday, accusing it of leaning into partisan theatrics as it feuds with President Donald Trump over a report questioning the effectiveness of US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Cuomo's criticism came during his NewsNation show 'Cuomo,' where he hosted Bill O'Reilly to discuss fallout from a leaked intelligence assessment suggesting the recent strikes likely delayed Iran's nuclear ambitions by months — not years, as US officials had claimed. 'I think that [CNN is] trying too hard to compete with these pod bros and people who sell hysteria for profit,' Cuomo said on his show. 4 NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo (left) criticized his former network CNN while hosting Bill O'Reilly on his show on Thursday. Newsnation 'We just too often get caught up in the propaganda game.' Trump blasted the media coverage, labeling it 'fake news,' while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also dismissed the reports during a Thursday press conference. 'Iran's nuclear sites were obliterated,' Hegseth said, adding that initial intelligence is 'almost always wrong, almost always incomplete.' O'Reilly told Cuomo that CNN was deliberately downplaying the impact of the strikes. 'There's nobody who went under the mountain to see. The Iranians can't even do that because the mountain may collapse on them,' he said. 'There's absolutely no primary source reporting on the damage that the American planes caused. None. So you got four anonymous people saying, 'Well, I might have heard this, I might have heard that.'' 4 CNN's Jake Tapper defended his network from blowback after it reported that the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities set the country's nuclear program back a few months, according to intelligence assessments. CNN The former Fox News host slammed the network's editorial judgment, calling it part of a broader decline in journalism. 'It's absurd. No competent journalistic editor would have printed that article, but since CNN is in business to make Trump look bad, as you said, every moment of every day, they throw it out there,' O'Reilly said. 'I think we all know that the journalism industry in America and the world is at the lowest point in the history of that industry.' Cuomo agreed with the broader media critique, suggesting the news business is chasing hype to compete with internet personalities. 4 'I think that [CNN is] trying too hard to compete with these pod bros and people who sell hysteria for profit,' Cuomo said on his show. Getty Images Still, he pushed back on some of O'Reilly's points — especially the role of anonymous sources. 'Trump asked for it by saying everything was obliterated, so he asks for the criticism, because he doesn't know that either,' Cuomo said. 'But anonymous sources matter, Bill. If it weren't for anonymous sources, in your career and mine, very often you wouldn't know anything about what's happening in the halls of power.' Though Cuomo was fired by CNN in 2021, he expressed admiration for many of its journalists, while calling out what he sees as its recent ideological tilt. 'Even though I got fired, I have a lot of respect for the men and women who are doing the job there, and I miss a lot of them,' he said. 4 President Trump has denounced CNN and other news outlets who reported the intelligence assessment. Ken Cedeno/UPI/Shutterstock 'But they see what's happening on the left. You see that they're in MAGA mode… There are no more Democrats. There are no more Republicans. There's MAGA, and now you have whatever they call the new lefty MAGA.' A CNN spokesperson told The Post: 'CNN stands by our thorough reporting on an early intelligence assessment of the recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, which has since been confirmed by other news organizations. The White House has acknowledged the existence of the assessment, and their statement is included in our story.' Cuomo was fired from CNN in December 2021 after it was revealed that he used his media connections to assist his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in responding to sexual harassment allegations. The news anchor lashed out at the Democratic Party earlier this week after his brother lost in the New York City mayoral primary to socialist underdog Zohran Mamdani, declaring on his NewsNation show that the Democratic Party is 'dead' and accusing it of embracing extremism. He also took aim at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calling her a 'deranged form of Democrat,' and expressed disbelief at her continued popularity.

Prince Edward Could Predict ‘Desperately Lonely' Harry's Future Amid Reports Charles' Funeral May Be the Last Time He Ever Sees His Family Again
Recent news about the British Royal family paints a very complicated picture of the dynamics. King Charles is very sick, and there are reports that succession plans are already underway. He and Prince Harry are reportedly not on speaking terms. Neither are Prince Harry and Prince William. And recent reports indicate Kate Middleton might be trying to fix the rift, after Harry said he wanted a reconciliation in a recent interview. Prince Harry wanting more of a connection with his family might be a new development, but it's certainly not a surprising one. Recent reports indicate that though Harry is living in a beautiful home with his wife and children, he is still 'desperately lonely,' according to friends. More from StyleCaster Duchess Sophie Subtly Took a Side in William & Harry's Feud Amid Reports He Caused 'Irreparable Harm' to the Royals Charles' Funeral Could Be the Last Time Harry & William Ever See Each Other Again Amid Claims There's 'No Turning Back' in Their Feud Related: Did William really cheat on Kate? Newsnation went deep into this, explaining the dynamics of Harry's friend circle, and how that makes him similar to the infamous Prince Edward. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for (fellow polo player) Nacho (Figueras) and Nacho travels constantly for polo matches,' one friend told the outlet. 'He is still very close with the 'band of brothers' who were at his wedding — particularly Guy Pelley and Mark Dyer, but… they live in England and the time zones are so different it's very hard to talk regularly. And again, there is no one for him to hang out with (in person) besides Nacho when he is in town or Meghan and the children. He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards.' Prince Harry reportedly 'has one foot in the past,' People magazine reported, which the outlet said translates to how 'It's harder to forge deep friendships with people when you're older, especially if you're wary they may speak to the press.' For some, this is very familiar. 'It's like history is repeating itself,' the friend also told NewsNation, referencing Edward VIII, later known as the Duke of Windsor, after he gave up being king to marry Wallis Simpson. After he abdicated, he reportedly had very little contact with the royal family and spent most of his time with his wife in Paris. The two were considered outcasts, and Edward VII only met with his brother King George a few times after his abdication, briefly and without his wife. This comes after reports that Harry's relationship with William is irrevocably broken. Fox News reported that sources don't expect the brothers to see each other again unless Charles dies. 'The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],' the outlet said. 'I can't imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.' According to People, 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together.' But Newsnation's source disputed that. 'Please — look how easily she cut her own father out of her life after he displeased her. She's good at it. She is fine never speaking with her father again. Harry is not. England was his entire life — of course he has a foot in the past. He is lonely and misses his friends and family. He used to be able to call people up, go have a pint and hang out anytime. He can't do that now. Now he just has his bodyguards.' This explains Harry's recent interview, where he said, 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.' Now, whether a reconciliation is truly in the cards or not, remains to be seen.

RFK Jr Says Vaccine Contains 'Aborted Fetus Debris'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited claims that the MMR vaccine contains "a lot of aborted fetus debris." He made the remarks during a town hall event on Newsnation on Wednesday, saying this "debris" was the reason many religious groups don't get vaccinated. Why It Matters The claim comes amid a serious measles outbreak in Texas that has already claimed the lives of two children in a Mennonite community with low vaccination rates. Kennedy Jr., who has long faced criticism over his comments about vaccines, has vowed to investigate the childhood vaccine schedule. Despite this, in March, Kennedy Jr. wrote an op-ed for Fox News, urging parents to "consult with their healthcare providers to understand their options to get the MMR vaccine" but he also reiterated his long-held position that vaccination is a personal choice. What To Know Kennedy Jr. made the aborted fetus comments after being questioned about his position on vaccines, which some have criticized for being unclear. He praised the United States' response to its outbreak and then said: "There are populations in our country, like the Mennonites in Texas, who are most afflicted and they have religious objections to the vaccination - because the MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles, so they don't wanna take it." "So we oughta be able to take care of those populations when they get sick," he said, "and that's something that the CDC has not done." RFK Jr on measles: "The MMR vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 1, 2025 Does the MMR Vaccine Contain Aborted Fetus Debris? The MMR vaccine is produced using human cell lines that originated from two legal abortions in the 1960s but these cells are not present in the final vaccine. The Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia says that "the cells used to grow viruses for vaccines are sometimes called fetal cells because they were originally derived from two fetuses in the 1960s," but the center emphasizes that "fetal cells are not in the vaccine itself." These original cells have been replicated over time, and current vaccine production uses descendant cells, not any tissue from the original fetuses. The specific cell lines used in the production of some vaccines, including MMR, are WI-38 and MRC-5. These lines provide an effective medium to grow viruses used in live-attenuated vaccines. Over the past several decades, these cells have been reproduced millions of times, meaning that today's production does not require additional fetal tissue and does not involve ongoing abortions. "The ingredients of vaccines are listed on the package inserts and do not include 'aborted fetal tissue.' The cells originally used are not part of the final vaccine," the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia says in its Q&A sheet on the topic. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks at the Rx and Illicit drug Summit, Thursday, April 24, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks at the Rx and Illicit drug Summit, Thursday, April 24, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn. AP What People Are Saying RFK Jr. said: "CDC says the only thing that we have is vaccination - there's all kinds of treatments when people do get sick and those people (people like the like the Mennonites) should be treated with compassion. "And we oughta have good treatments for them and that's what we're developing at the CDC right now - protocols for treating measles." What Happens Next Since late January, 663 cases have been confirmed in Texas, with 67 hospitalizes and two deaths of school-aged children, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The department, along with the CDC, is working to investigate the outbreak and up vaccinations.

Jeffrey Epstein's ‘client list' among slew of federal secrets being declassified
Jeffrey Epstein 's 'client list' is set to be among the documents declassified by a congressional task force charged with exposing 'federal secrets'. Chairman James Comer announced the establishment of the investigative unit on Tuesday. Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna will lead the task force in a bid to publish materials related to federal government interests and 'end an era of secrecy,' the lawmaker said. Luna, a fierce Donald Trump supporter who is lobbying to have his face carved into Mount Rushmore, said that along with releasing the disgraced financier 's contact list, her team will investigate the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the origins of Covid-19, the assassinations of former President John F Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and UFOs. 'This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve,' the congresswoman said. 'We will cut through the bureaucracy, challenge the stonewalling, and ensure the American people finally get the truth they have been denied for too long.' Comer and Luna issued 11 letters to top U.S. security and intelligence officials requesting a briefing by no later than next Tuesday regarding 'what documents (if any) are in your possession regarding the investigation into and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,' it reads. It is not clear whether the client list differentiates from Epstein's black book which includes high-profile figures including former U.S. president Bill Clinton, tech stalwart Bill Gates, and the president himself. None of those previously listed have ever been accused of any wrongdoing. Luna said she would be opening the task force to both Republicans and Democrats and, though an investigation was not immediately clear, the congresswoman said a first hearing would be held in March. The announcement follows Trump's signing an executive order last month pledging to declassify records surrounding the assassinations of JFK, Senator Robert F Kennedy and Dr Martin Luther King – a move which prompted calls for the president to release the pedophile's elusive list. 'This task force serves to build on President Trump's actions,' Comer said Tuesday. 'For far too long, the American people have had reasonable questions of what their government, which they fund every day, keeps hidden about certain issues. And for far too long, the federal government has not answered these questions.' However, at least one GOP lawmaker cast doubts over the client list being released, after calling the FBI – which said Monday it had found 2,400 new pages of documents about the JFK assassination – as 'crooked as a dog leg'. 'I don't think we're... no, just no,' Tennesee Representative Tim Burchett said on Newsnation's CUOMO on Monday evening. 'I'm on the committee, I'm going to go into it open-minded, but all of a sudden, these agencies are going to do what's right, and I just don't buy it.' Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges of trafficking teenage girls, while in 2021 his former girlfriend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, was prosecuted for her role in recruiting underage victims and serving a 20-year prison sentence. Trump and Epstein, friends since the late 1980s, occasionally flew together from LaGuardia to Palm Peach, Florida, where both men lived, and were pictured partying together at Mar-a-Lago. Flight logs released by prosecutors in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial show Trump flew with Epstein on his private jet, a Boeing 727 called 'Lolita Express' numerous times, with his former wife Marla Maples and his children Eric and Tiffany Trump, as well as a beauty queen and a senior aide to Bill Clinton. Epstein used the plane to ferry young women between New York and Epstein's primary residence in Palm Beach, where many of his alleged acts of sexual abuse are said to have taken place. 'We know he [Clinton] was on the plane, called the Lolita Express, multiple times. He has been a continued friend of his for many years,' Pam Bondi, Trump's newly appointed attorney-general, told Fox News last week – though Clinton has denied the claim. 'Contrast that with Donald Trump, who had not spoken to him for over a decade after he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago for bad behavior.' The pair did eventually fall out over a real estate dispute in the 1990s, years before Epstein's first arrest for soliciting prostitution, and Trump has denied any knowledge of Epstein's abuse. 'I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you,' he said in the Oval Office the day after New York authorities took Epstein into custody in July 2019. In September, the president told podcaster Lex Friedman that he never visited Epstein's private Little St James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When Friedan probed about Trump showing 'some hesitation' about releasing the Epstein files, he replied: 'I don't think – I mean, I'm not involved... I never went to his island, fortunately, but a lot of people did.'
