Warren Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick that he has not spoken to Microsoft co‑founder Bill Gates since the Jeffrey Epstein files were made public. “I haven’t talked to him at all since the whole thing was unveiled,” Buffett said, adding that he does not want to be in a position where he might be called as a witness. He emphasized his desire to avoid any situation where he could be questioned under oath about the matter.

Buffett also reflected on his long‑standing friendship with Gates, acknowledging their shared history but insisting that, until the controversy is “cleared up,” there is little point in extensive public discussion. “I think until it gets cleared up, it doesn’t make sense to do a lot of talking,” he explained, underscoring his reluctance to become entangled in legal proceedings or further scrutiny.

During the interview, Buffett briefly addressed the broader ramifications of the Epstein scandal, describing the man as a “con man” who preyed on people’s weaknesses. He noted that the revelations have affected many high‑profile individuals, including Gates, and expressed astonishment that someone could achieve such success while engaging in such conduct. This commentary came as part of a broader discussion about the fallout from the recently released Epstein files.

You would have thought, of all govt institutions, the Court’s administration would have conducted ‘due dilligence’ and adopted pro-active management practices of the contract rather than rely on contract clauses agreed to. When the ABC uncovered that transcription services where outsourced to a company in India in breach of its contract, I was shocked at the administration’s complacency and the excuses those responsible for the contract made.

9Th CIRCUIT COURT
ENDS TPS, SUPPORTS DJT ETHNIC CLEANSING : DEPORTATIONS
T0 PROGEED FOR 60,000 LONG-
TERM RESIDENTS FROM NEPAL,
HONDURAS AND NICARAGUA

This wk, a three-judge panel on the #WestCoast's typically more liberal 9th Circuit U.S. #Court of Appeals explained they had to follow precedent and cleared path for #Drrumpf admin "to move forward with ending deportation protections for more than 60,000 migrants from #Nepal, as well as refuge seeking #Hondurans and #Nicaraguans," who had previously been granted Temporary Protected Status, but were no more entitled to it after #SCOTUS threw #Venezuelan #immigrants under a similar bus.

The panel declined to consider the harm their decision would inflict on TPS holders, and instead cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s prior shadow docket orders in the previous higher court case. The 9th circuit panel judges added "we have been admonished that the (higher) court's stay orders must inform" their decisions.

The ruling leaves thousands of immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for more than two decades at risk of detention and deportation.

Federal Judge James Boasberg is expanding his criminal contempt investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s role in a controversial deportation case. He has ordered top DOJ lawyer Drew Ensign to testify under oath about decisions in March that led to migrants being deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, despite court orders to halt flights. The judge also wants to hear from ex-Justice Department official Erez Reuveni, who has alleged that government officials planned to ignore court orders amid aggressive Trump-era deportation efforts. This comes after Noem provided limited and unclear sworn statements about the episode, raising questions about potential deliberate violations of court orders. Will these testimonies reveal possible misconduct?
