AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A growing number of Republicans and MAGA supporters are publicly rejecting the idea that Donald Trump might pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, after reports that some members of the House Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, entertained the notion. Although Comer acknowledged that “a lot of people” on the committee considered the deal, he clarified that he himself is opposed to any pardon. GOP lawmakers such as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed the proposal, warning it would create a quid‑pro‑quo, empower a “serial liar,” and betray Epstein survivors, positions that echo the immediate condemnation from Democratic legislators. Maxwell, who invoked the Fifth Amendment before the committee, has had her attorneys repeatedly urge Trump for clemency, while Trump has not ruled out the possibility, saying he would need to “take a look at it.”

The New Republic | Trump Has Mindblowing Reaction to Insider Trading on Maduro Capture by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Donald Trump brushed off the arrest of Army specialist Gannon Ken Van Dyke, who allegedly used classified information about the U.S. operation to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro to place $400,000 in bets on the Polymarket prediction market, suggesting there was no problem with “insider trading” as long as the bet favored the U.S. win. He likened the case to Pete Rose’s gambling on his own team, lamented that “the whole world has become somewhat of a casino,” and noted his own Truth Social platform is launching a similar prediction service. Van Dyke faces up to 60 years in prison, while Polymarket condemned the illegal activity, and Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for a pardon, arguing the justice system is unevenly targeting officials.

World & Nation | House Oversight chair says some members support a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon by Ben Wieder, Ana Ceballos, Justine McDaniel

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Rep. James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, disclosed that many members of the panel are considering a Trump‑presidential pardon for convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation in the committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, even though Comer himself opposes the idea. The committee is split: top Democratic member Rep. Robert Garcia and several Republicans, including Anna Paulina Luna and Clay Higgins, publicly reject any pardon, calling Maxwell a sexual abuser who belongs behind bars. Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence for recruiting and grooming minors for Epstein, declined to answer questions in a February deposition but her attorney said she would offer “the unfiltered truth” if clemency were granted. Victims’ lawyers and legal experts also denounced the notion, arguing Maxwell is a self‑serving liar who cannot provide credible information. While President Trump has not ruled out a pardon, he has so far declined to commit either way.

Zitat:
"BERLIN - Dutzende Politiker der rechtsextremen Partei Alternative für Deutschland (#AfD) werden im Dezember auf Einladung einer Gruppe republikanischer Abgeordneter nach Washington reisen, sagte die US-Abgeordnete "Anna Paulina Luna".

Die Einladung an AfD-Politiker erfolgt zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem deutsche Rechtsextreme zunehmend Unterstützung von MAGA-Republikanern in den USA suchen, um gegen politische Verfolgung und Zensur im eigenen Land zu kämpfen.

„Wir empfangen 40 Mitglieder der AfD", sagte Luna in einem Interview mit der Welt, einer Schwesterpublikation von POLITICO innerhalb der Axel Springer Gruppe. „Und es werden nicht nur ich, sondern auch andere Kongressabgeordnete teilnehmen."
