Epstein Accomplice's Lawyer Suggests Trump Would 'Agree' With Argument for Her Appeal: 'He's the Ultimate Dealmaker'
Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer, representing her amid a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and other crimes in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, suggested President Donald Trump might "agree" with her appeal argument. Earlier this year, Maxwell petitioned the Supreme Court to review her case, claiming she should have been shielded by a non-prosecution agreement the late financier made with federal prosecutors in Florida, Axios reported. On Monday, the Justice Department urged the court to reject the appeal, arguing that lower courts already dismissed her legal team's arguments. Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, wrote in a statement obtained by Axios, however, that he would "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," Markus claimed. The latest controversy arises as the president faces mounting criticism within his MAGA base after his administration's refusal to release the notorious "Epstein files." Trump previously said he would declassify the files during his 2024 campaign. In response, Trump has labeled the situation a "hoax" orchestrated by the Democratic Party and former President Joe Biden. He has also repeatedly attacked his own supporters, calling them "stupid [and] foolish" for "doing the Democrats' work." Former Trump officials, including Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, and Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, warned that the president's attacks on his base and his ongoing refusal to release the files could harm Republicans' chances for both the 2026 midterm elections and the 2028 presidential election. "You're going to lose 10% of the MAGA movement. If we lose 10% of the MAGA movement right now, we ain't gonna ... we're gonna lose 40 seats in '26," Bannon declared during a recent recording of "The War Room" podcast. "We're gonna lose the president." Originally published on Latin Times Donald trump Supreme court Lawyer

Elon Musk's new America Party sparks support and bitter backlash. Check the list of who's backing him and who's not
Elon Musk's America Party has quickly become a lightning rod for both interest and controversy, with prominent figures including Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci signaling early curiosity—and some Trump allies already lashing out. After Musk announced the creation of the 'America Party' on X (formerly Twitter), billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban chimed in with an encouraging reply. Cuban wrote: 'I work with [Center for Competitive Democracy]. They will help you get on ballots. That is their mission.' The Center for Competitive Democracy is known for helping independent candidates qualify for state ballots, underscoring that Musk's effort could quickly become a serious logistical operation. Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as Donald Trump's White House communications director in 2017, also expressed interest. In a short post, Scaramucci said: 'I would like to meet to discuss.' Other tech and social media personalities voiced enthusiasm, including Brian Krassenstein, who asked: 'Awesome! Where can we see more information?' While some were excited, Trump's allies were swift to condemn Musk's move. On his podcast The War Room, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon launched an especially personal attack: 'The buffoon. Elmo the Mook, formerly known as Elon Musk, Elmo the Mook. He's today, in another smear, and this—only a foreigner could do this—think about it, he's got up on Twitter right now, a poll about starting an America Party, a non-American starting an America Party.' Bannon added: 'No, brother, you're not an American. You're a South African. We take enough time and prove the facts of that, you should be deported because it's a crime of what you did—among many.' Trump ally Laura Loomer speculated that well-known conservatives like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie could side with Musk. Musk's decision follows a feud with Donald Trump over what is called "One Big Beautiful Bill'—a tax and spending package. Musk recently severed ties with the Trump White House, where he had been tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. On Saturday, Musk formalised the split, posting: 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' He cited a July 4 poll of his followers in which 65.4% supported forming a new party. Although Musk, a foreign-born US citizen, cannot run for President himself, he is legally allowed to bankroll third-party candidates and help them get on the ballot in all 50 states. And, the America Party could immediately complicate both Republican and Democratic strategies in the 2026 midterms.

Musk Vows Steve Bannon Is 'Going Back to Prison' Following Trump's Jabs at SpaceX During 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Feud
Billionaire Elon Musk took to social media to throw a jab at political commentator and former Trump administration White House chief strategist Steve Bannon as the feud between the Tesla CEO and the 47th President continues to develop. Musk was responding to a post on X, the social media platform he owns, in which a user defended his companies SpaceX and Tesla after President Trump threatened to cut electric vehicle subsidies and subsidies pertaining to SpaceX's operations in an attempt to scare the world's richest man. "SpaceX's revenue is more than NASA's budget, and cutting EV subsidies would be actually better for Tesla. Go on, Trump, pull your stunt, get humiliated, and beg Russia to bring your astronauts back," said the user in defense of Musk. Another user chimed in, relaying Bannon's perspectives on how the government should proceed with SpaceX. "Bannon wants to nationalize Space X," they wrote. "Bannon is going back to prison. This time for a long time," Musk responded. Bannon, who previously served as the White House's chief strategist for seven months of Trump's first administration, recently called upon the President to seize SpaceX. "He doesn't know anything. He's a know it all, he knows some engineering, don't get me wrong, I'd give a hat tip for that, but he doesn't know anything about the real world," Bannon said about Musk at the beginning of June during an appearance on his show, The War Room, which airs on Real America's Voice News. "The acts that President Trump should be taking immediately, I think, when he threatens to take one of the big programs out of SpaceX, President Trump, TONIGHT, should sign an executive order calling up the Defense Production Act, and seize SpaceX TONIGHT, before midnight," Bannon continued.

Andrew Tate makes outrageous claim he fought and beat SIXTY people in marathon MMA session lasting THREE hours
Andrew Tate has once again set social media ablaze after claiming he fought 60 men back-to-back in an event held in Dubai. The 38-year-old former kickboxing world champion - better known in recent years for his controversial internet persona - shared clips of the apparent event to his millions of followers online. The footage appears to show Tate inside a cage-style octagon, going toe-to-toe with dozens of rotating opponents. The fights reportedly lasted several hours, with each challenger facing Tate for a single three-minute round. At least one participant was left heavily bleeding from the face, while others limped away from the cage clearly battered and bruised. The event was organised privately and featured members of Tate's own mentorship group, The War Room. Andrew Tate just held an event where he fought 60 guys for 3 minutes each 😳 — Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) May 10, 2025 Andrew Tate has again set social media ablaze after claiming he fought 60 men back-to-back In a post on X, Tate wrote: I put a message in Thewarroom one month ago with a time and a date. Saying I would fight any member who shows up. 'Yesterday I fought 60 men, back to back. One 3min round each, 1min break. Everybody hurts. Nobody could stop me. War is forever.' The nature of the fights - whether full contact, sparring-level, or partially choreographed - remains unclear. Many of his fans have praised the spectacle as a testament to strength, with one saying: 'That impressive you have to admit'. Another wrote: 'That's raw discipline and mental fortitude. Most people fold under pressure, but going through 60 rounds shows a level of grit few can match. Pain is temporary, warrior spirit is eternal.' Meanwhile, others were critical of the event as they blasted Tate for taking on untrained fighters given his professional combat experience. 'He must feel so alpha fighting people who don't know how to properly throw a punch,' one critic posted on X. Another wrote: 'He's been training and fighting since a teenager. NONE of his opponents had ANY experience. He might as well have been fighting children.' Influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Tate has 10.7million followers on social media platform X, expressing views including that women are the 'property' of men. He faces allegations of sexual assault in the UK and of human trafficking in Romania, which he denies.
