Democrats have just in the last couple hours released another batch of disturbing never-before-seen images from Jeffrey Epstein's estate in the Caribbean, proving to Donald Trump that the story isn't going away anytime soon and ramping up the pressure on his justice department to release files as is now required by bipartisan law. We got the first glimpses earlier today inside what Epstein's victims and survivors described as a quote house of horrors at the center of allegations of sexual abuse of teenage g ...

I want to bring in MS Now justice reporter Ken Delaneian, MS Congressional reporter Kevin Fry, and MS legal reporter Lisa Rubin. Ken, walk us through these images and what they show. >> Well, Chris, we're talking about 10 photos and four videos, and they depict uh Epstein's home on the private island in the Virgin Islands, where he lived for many years and where his accusers say he traffked women and girls. What it says about the Epstein case is unclear to me. It's not clear that it sheds any new light on a ...

As Donald Trump resorts to every tactic imaginable to try to put distance between himself and what's inside the files related to the investigation of his former friend, the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and maintains that he knew nothing about the sex trafficking of thousands of women and children. As he appears to have his back up against the wall with the world waiting on him to sign off on releasing the Epstein files rather than attempt to convince the world that he respects women. Instead, he's t ...

Immigration Enforcement Impact - Diversion of federal agents to immigration enforcement at FBI and DHS has taken investigators off child predator cases [2][3] - An anti-terror squad in Baltimore working on child exploitation cases was reassigned to immigration enforcement [2] - 20% of FBI agents at large were reassigned to immigration enforcement [3] - ICE and Homeland Security Investigations personnel have been taken off criminal investigations for routine immigration enforcement [4] - Immigration enforcement priorities shifted from targeting dangerous criminals to easier targets, driven by demands for higher deportation numbers [7][8] Allegations of Interference - A White House official allegedly intervened in a Homeland Security investigation involving the Tate brothers, requesting the return of seized electronic devices [15] - Senior DHS officials were concerned that complying with the White House request would interfere with an ongoing investigation [16] - The White House official's lawyer denied ordering the return of the devices but declined to comment on whether the official had asked for their return [18] Concerns Regarding Administration's Actions - Concerns raised about the administration's commitment to protecting children, given appointments and priorities [11][12][23] - Skepticism exists regarding the release of information related to the Epstein case, despite promises from the president and Republicans [21] - Victims of sex crimes do not feel the administration has been fighting for them, but rather avoiding the politics of the issue [23] Prioritization of Immigration - Hardline immigration reform, including increased deportation numbers and building a wall, appears to be a higher priority for the president than combating sex trafficking and protecting children [27] - While the president is presumably against pedophilia and sex trafficking, these issues are not as deeply animating as immigration reform [26][27]

So, is supporting and signing this legislation really going to make people move on. >> Yeah, Chris, I don't think so. But I do think that someone, it's clear that the advisers to the president, whomever got to him, uh, got through to him to say, "It is not good for you to fight this. You might as well attempt to look like you're leading the parade away from you." And I think that's what this um, uh, flip, if you will.And I don't even know if we can call it a flip, Chris. I think I I would like to refer to t ...
