Former US Attorney General Bill Barr appeared before the House Oversight Committee for a deposition related to an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Earlier this month Comer announced the Committee issued subpoenas to a who’s who of political elites and deep state operatives.

The sweeping list includes former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, Bill Barr and others.

BREAKING

Bill Barr, who served as Attorney General during the second half of Trump’s first term, is the first person to appear before the Oversight Committee to testify in its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Barr, flanked by his attorneys, arrived to the Capitol for his deposition and did not answer any questions.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer later told reporters that Bill Barr testified that he has never seen anything in the Epstein documents that would implicate President Trump.

“He said that he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this, and that he believed if there had been anything pertaining to President Trump with respect to the Epstein list, that he felt like the Biden administration would probably have leaked it out,” Comer told reporters while Bill Barr was still behind close doors testifying.

Comer also told reporters that he expects to obtain all the documents related to the Epstein investigation soon.

President Trump on Monday said during a meeting with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed that “Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine.”

Trump is meeting with Zelensky and several European leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

While speaking to the press, Trump called the agreement with Putin a “very serious step” in ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.

“I’m optimistic that collectively, we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression against Ukraine, and I actually think there won’t be,” Trump told the delegation of Europeans.

He also stated that “European nations are going to take a lot of the burden” for Ukraine’s security, similar to his deal for NATO members to raise defense spending targets from 2% to 5% of GDP instead of making the US foot the bill. He did say that “we’re going to help them,” potentially signaling that America will continue selling weapons to NATO to be used for Ukrainian defense.

Still, “we also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory, taking into consideration the current line of contact. That means the war zone,” Trump said, signaling that Ukraine may need to cede territory that Russia now occupies.

Trump further said he will set up a meeting between President Zelensky and President Putin.

WATCH:

Trump: The Alaska summit reinforced my belief that while difficult peace is within reach, and I believe that, in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine. And this is one of the key points that we need to consider, and we’re going to be considering that at the table, also, who will do what. Essentially, I’m optimistic that collectively, we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression against Ukraine, and I actually think there won’t be. I think that’s even overrated, largely overrated, but we’re going to find out. And I think that the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden. We’re going to help them, and we’re going to make it very secure.

We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory taking into consideration the current line of contact. That means the war zone, the war lines that are pretty obvious — very sad, actually, to look at them — and negotiating positions of President Putin. Also, you have the President of Ukraine, who is— you just met a little while ago, and we’re going to try and get a three-party meeting, maybe as soon as we can. And I have a feeling you and President Putin are going to work something out.

Ultimately, this is a decision that can only be made by President Zelensky and by the people of Ukraine, working also together in agreement with President Putin. And I just think very good things are going to come of it. So, I hope we have a good meeting, and if we can have a good meeting, good meeting, I’ll set up a meeting with President Putin, and if you’d like, I’ll go to that meeting— not that I want to do that, but I will do that because we want to save a lot of people from dying. A lot of people are dying, and we got to save them.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump said that he will speak to Putin again after his meetings today.

Another day, another Democrat “public servant” caught behaving like she’s above the law.

On Thursday night, Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan, a Democrat-appointed prosecutor with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office, was arrested in Newport after refusing to leave a restaurant and berating responding officers with her supposed “status.”

According to a press release from the Newport Police Department, officers were dispatched at 9:51 p.m. on August 14 to the Clarke Cooke House after an entitled Hogan and her friend, Veronica Hannan, reportedly refused repeated requests to leave.

According to the bodycam footage obtained by Nicole Solas, Hogan repeatedly shouted “I’M AN AG” ELEVEN times while resisting officers. She even threatened police: “Buddy, you’re gonna regret this.”

Her arrogant outbursts didn’t faze Newport’s finest. One officer shot back, “Good for you. I don’t give a sh*t.”

Hogan even tried to make it a twelfth time, yelling “I’M AN A—” before officers shut the cruiser door in her face.

So that’s 11.5X.

Meanwhile, Hogan’s friend Veronica Hannan went into full meltdown mode. Police reports detail how Hannan slipped out of her handcuffs, kicked and screamed, and even growled and hissed at officers in front of a growing public crowd.

According to the Newport Police report obtained by GoLocal Prov News:

After several attempts of trying to move the parties along with verbal commands, I gently placed my hands on the backs of Veronica and Hogan, attempting to usher them away to avoid further conflict. Both parties still refused to leave and I grabbed Hogan’s left and right hands, securing handcuffs on her. While attempting to secure Hogan in handcuffs she repeatedly stated, “I’m an AG (Attorney General).” I informed Hogan that she was being arrested because of the fact that she was refused to leave after numerous lawful orders. Hogan was subsequently searched for weapons and contraband before being placed in the rear prisoner compartment of cruiser #16 which was previously searched.

Once Hogan was secured in the rear of my cruiser, I observed Officer Chiang struggling to place Veronica in handcuffs. I went over to assist Officer Chiang in securing Veronica in handcuffs. I grabbed Veronica’s left arm while Officer Chiang grabbed her right arm. As Officer Chiang went to place handcuffs on Veronica, she tensed her arms and pulled away. Veronica at one point screamed, “Get your fucking hands off me” as he was giving commands. Officer Chiang put his body weight into Veronica as he was attempting to secure the handcuffs on her as she continued to stiffen and resist hand placement.

While in the process of attempting to secure Veronica in handcuffs, her husband, James kept trying to interfere with the detention. With a single arm, I pushed James away and commanded him multiple times to get back. Eventually, Officer Chiang was able to secure Veronica in handcuffs, however, due to the petite size of her wrists, Veronica slipped out of the handcuffs quickly and took a few steps back. At this point, it should be noted that a large crowd had formed due to the loud and unreasonable noise that disturbed the general public in the area. I then immediately grabbed Veronica’s right hand firmly as Officer Chiang grabbed her left hand. I then placed Veronica in handcuffs as she still actively resisted by tensing…”

In another statement by Newport Police, an officer cited:

“Sergeant Lavallee booked and photographed Veronica and she was searched by Officer Gonsalves before being placed in cell #8. Officer Hutson booked and photographed Hogan and she was searched and fingerprinted by Officer Lopes. It should be noted that while booking Hogan, she was extremely uncooperative, berating officers, repeatedly stating her position as an AG and refusing to follow instructions. Hogan was eventually released with a District Court Summons.”

Suspects arrested in connection with a brazen attack on a Texas ICE detention facility have been linked to a secretive far-left Antifa anarchist group that emerged after meeting during the violent Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.

The group, which included transgender activists, allegedly orchestrated a military-style ambush that left one police officer wounded on July 4 at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

During the attack, which authorities have called a coordinated ambush, a group of assailants dressed in black military-style clothing opened fire on ICE agents. One officer was shot in the neck.

Following an intensive investigation, 11 individuals were arrested, facing serious charges including attempted murder of federal officers, discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, and obstruction of justice for trying to conceal evidence, according to a report from the New York Post.

Leading the suspects is Benjamin Hanil Song, a former U.S. Marine Corps reservist, who was charged with three counts of attempted murder and three counts of discharging a firearm. Song is accused of purchasing four firearms used in the attack and hosting weekly training sessions focused on close-quarters combat and large-scale gunfights. He was apprehended in Dallas after a weeklong manhunt.

Among the other suspects are Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, both identified as transgender.

The group initially focused on “social justice” demonstrations, the far-left extremists later shifted their attention to targeting ICE enforcement operations. It’s unclear exactly how many of the attackers were core members, but the group operated out of Dallas and attracted young, impressionable leftists.

Corey Lyon, a libertarian who attended some of the sessions but later cut ties with Song, told The Post, “The people that were showing up to learn from him — a lot were very young, naïve leftists.”

“They were scared. And Ben was offering them a solution for their fear.”

Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, head of the Technological Defense Division at the Israel National Cyber Directorate, was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of attempting to lure minors for sexual purposes.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Alexandrovich was caught attempting to solicit sex from a minor electronically.

He was taken into custody, booked, and later released after a state judge posted a $10,000 bail pending a future court date.

According to the LVMPD:

A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators led to the arrest of eight individuals over the last two weeks.

The Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) joint operation included detectives and agents from the ICAC Task Force and the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, to include the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, North Las Vegas Police Department, Henderson Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Nevada Attorney General’s office who participated in organizing and conducting the operation in Henderson, NV.

Those arrested were David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40; Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38; Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35; Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23; James Ramon Reddick, 23; Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29; Neal Harrison Creecy, 46 and John Charles Duncan, 49. They all face felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act and were booked into the Henderson Detention Center with the exception of Duncan who was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.

According to Ynet News, “After his questioning, he returned to his hotel and flew back to Israel two days later. Israeli officials downplayed the incident, saying it carried “no political implications” and was resolved quickly. The reasons for the questioning remain unclear but may relate to the employee’s conduct.”

In response to growing speculation and online rumors that the U.S. government may have intervened on his behalf, the State Department issued a clear and direct statement:

“The Department of State is aware that Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli citizen, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges related to soliciting sex electronically from a minor. He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false.”
