Epstein Email Leaks
More than 20,000 pages of documents from the late Jeffrey Epstein have been released to the public, with President Donald Trump being mentioned in some of them.
Early Wednesday, Nov. 12, Democrats from the House Oversight Committee published three emails, to which the House Republicans responded with their own documents from the pages.
They claim that the Democrats “cherry-picked” emails to paint a narrative about President Trump and slander his name.
"The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre," stated White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Sources confirmed that Boyd was with a group of his friends, but it is unclear if he was the intended target. Witnesses around refused to cooperate with the police once they arrived at the scene.
Trump Suggested What his Decisions are with the Venezuela Military Operation
President Donald Trump has suggested that he knows what his course of action will be regarding ousting the current president of Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro.

This has prompted President Maduro to launch a mass mobilization of military personnel, weapons, and equipment. President Trump's indication of what’s to come was reported Friday, Nov. 14, as he attempts to cut down on the illegal flow of drugs and migrants in the Caribbean.
