Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant Lesley Groff said in a closed-door interview Tuesday that she arranged phone calls between the late, disgraced financier and President Donald Trump, two Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee told reporters. “I believe she referred to a time before, before Mr. Trump was president, that she did arrange for multiple phone calls between the two,” Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) said of Groff, who worked for Epstein for around 18 years beginning in 2001. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) also said that Groff told the panel that “she arranged calls for them to connect,” referring…

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Republicans’ best option for unseating Sen. Joe Manchin: Pray that he retires first. The longtime West Virginia Democrat might be the most endangered member of his party heading into 2024. But Republicans still see the contest against him as treacherous. Manchin is a West Virginia institution who has repeatedly defied the odds in a deep-red state.

Former Trump administration officials told Breitbart News how President Donald Trump can further his affordability platform by ending a Biden-era loophole and lowering health insurance premiums. “By acting to fix the issues with the No Surprises Act that Democrats created, President Trump would be ending the kind of waste, fraud, and abuse that this administration is working every day to root out and address. And this will lower healthcare costs. This should be a top priority,” a former Trump White House official told Breitbart News. In his first term in office, President Donald Trump signed the landmark No Surprises Act…

The House passed a nearly $70 billion package Tuesday to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for three years, capping off a four-month partisan standoff. That bill is now on its way to President Donald Trump’s desk following a 214-212 vote, proving Republicans can ignore Democratic demands to crack down on the administration’s immigration policies and still pump unprecedented funding to the agencies carrying them out. Following the collapse of negotiations to restrict the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics, Republicans harnessed the party-line budget reconciliation process to pass legislation funding ICE and Border Patrol without any Democratic votes.…

But his case stands out. The outspoken mayor of the nation’s largest city has in recent weeks pointedly criticized Biden over the White House’s response to the asylum-seeker crisis. New York City has projected…

The FCC has granted Amazon a regulatory reprieve by waiving a requirement that the company launch half of its satellite broadband constellation by the end of July. The decision creates competition in the satellite broadband market for Elon Musk and SpaceX’s Starlink service. Ars Technica reports that Amazon received approval for the Amazon Leo broadband network in July 2020, with the FCC imposing two key deadlines. The company needed to place half of its planned 3,232 satellites in orbit by July 30, 2026, to retain authorization for the full constellation, and it must deploy all first-generation satellites by July 30, 2029.…
