House Democrats are closer to passing a vote on releasing the long-awaited Epstein files with a tentative vote expected this Tuesday.

Something that is easily lost, too often lost in the back and forth about the political side.So, here's what our next guest has to say about that. When did pedophilia become a partisan issue. The the American people deserve to know the whole truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every single p ...

" Trump was asked about Prince Andrew losing his title and he said, quote, "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a ter ...
