British Prime Minister Keir Starmer laughed uncomfortably as President Donald Trump took a swing at London Mayor Sadiq Khan, interrupting to protest that Khan was a friend of his.
Trump sat down with Starmer during his weekend trip to Scotland — a trip that also helped bring about a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand and secured a major trade deal between the United States and the European Union — and the two took questions from the press.

Starmer raised a hand to interrupt, and then interjected with a slight laugh, &#8220;He&#8217;s a friend of mine, actually —&#8221;
The reporters in the room laughed as well, but Trump kept going.
&#8220;No, I think he&#8217;s done a terrible job,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But I would certainly visit London.&#8221;
Trump also remarked during the same press availability that he had used a potential trade deal as leverage to bring about the ceasefire at the border between Cambodia and Thailand.

‘He’s A Friend Of Mine’: Keir Starmer Laughs Uncomfortably While Trump Trashes London Mayor

CONTINUE READING

President Donald Trump recalled the exact moment that he declared the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to be &#8220;persona non grata&#8221; — and informed him that he was no longer welcome at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump delivered the statement on Monday during a joint press conference — which included British Prime Minister Keir Starmer — at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. He initially dismissed a question about how he and Epstein fell out, calling it &#8220;such old history&#8221; — but then answered the query anyway.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
President Trump: &#8220;I threw Epstein out. Persona non grata. And that was it. I&#8217;m glad I did. And by the way, I never went to the island. And Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/K9zMlQOLik">pic.twitter.com/K9zMlQOLik</a>

&#8220;That’s such old history. Very easy to explain, but I don’t want to waste your time by explaining it,&#8221; Trump began, but proceeded anyway. &#8220;But for years, I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn&#8217;t talk, because he did something that was inappropriate.&#8221;
&#8220;He hired help. And I said ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that worked for me,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;I said, ‘Don’t never do that again.’ He did it again. And I threw him out of the place, persona non grata. I threw him out, and that was it. I&#8217;m glad I did, if you want to know the truth.&#8221;
Trump then stated that despite being invited, he had never gone to Epstein&#8217;s island — and claimed that former President Bill Clinton — who has been documented as flying on Epstein&#8217;s plane a number of times — had been to the island &#8220;28 times.&#8221;
&#8220;And by the way, I never went to the island,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And Bill Clinton went there, supposedly, 28 times. I never went to the island, but Larry Summers, I hear, went there, he was the head of Harvard. And many other people that were very big people, nobody ever talks about them.&#8221;
&#8220;I never had the privilege of going to his island. And I did turn it down,&#8221; Trump repeated. &#8220;But a lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island. In one of my very good moments, I turned it down. I didn’t want to go to his island.&#8221;

‘Persona Non Grata’: Trump Recalls What Made Him Boot Epstein From Mar-A-Lago

University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders announced on Monday that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer — and that he had undergone a successful surgery to remove the tumor.
Sanders gave a <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45843439/colorado-coach-deion-sanders-said-battled-bladder-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> at the Touchdown Club in the Dal Ward Athletic Center on Monday to update the public on his health, and urged everyone to &#8220;get checked out.&#8221; Sanders appeared alongside Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of urological oncology at University of Colorado Cancer Center, to make the announcement and take questions.
Kukreja began by touting the success of the surgery, saying that Sanders had been declared &#8220;cancer free&#8221; after the surgery was completed. &#8220;The results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer.&#8221;
After a brief pause, Sanders quipped, &#8220;You can clap, it&#8217;s ok.&#8221;
The audience laughed and applauded.

&#8220;It was dynamic. It was tough. It wasn&#8217;t a cakewalk. It wasn&#8217;t easy. That was a fight, but we made it,&#8221; Sanders said, adding, &#8220;You have no idea how good God has been to me.&#8221;
Questions have swirled about Sanders and his health since his son, Deion Sanders Jr., posted a video over the summer in which he could be heard talking about a &#8220;health issue&#8221; he was dealing with: &#8220;I ain&#8217;t all the way recovered.&#8221;
He opted not to address any health-related questions at Big 12 Media Days, further fueling speculation about his condition.
Sanders said on Monday that throughout the ordeal, he has also lost 25 pounds — but that he was ready to return to coaching for the 2025-2026 season.
He followed with a message to the crowd, calling on them to &#8220;get checked out.&#8221;

Deion Sanders Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Recovery: ‘You Have No Idea How Good God Has Been To Me’

Ghislaine Maxwell&#8217;s attorneys have formally petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn her 2021 sex trafficking conviction, claiming that her crimes were covered under a 2007 plea deal.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in the crimes of deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/28/us-news/ghislaine-maxwell-makes-long-shot-supreme-court-bid-to-overturn-sex-trafficking-conviction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> through her attorneys that the controversial deal — struck between Epstein and South Florida prosecutors — included her in addition to allowing the disgraced financier to plead guilty to state charges of solicitation and to procuring minors for the purpose of prostitution.
Her attorneys, husband-and-wife team <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/24-1073/368155/20250728111721067_24-1073ReplyInSupportOfPetitionForWritOfCertiorari.pdf">David Oscar and Mona Markus</a>, are citing one specific stipulation from the 2007 agreement that resulted in Epstein serving only 13 months in a work-release program — a line stating that the Miami U.S. Attorney’s Office would “not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.&#8221; The agreement named four such &#8220;potential co-conspirators,&#8221; but Maxwell was not one of them.
&#8220;Rather than grapple with the core principles of plea agreements, the government tries to distract by reciting a lurid and irrelevant account of Jeffrey Epstein’s misconduct,” Maxwell’s attorneys wrote. &#8220;But this case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did.&#8221;
&#8220;This promise is unqualified. It is not geographically limited to the Southern District of Florida, it is not conditioned on the co-conspirators being known by the government at the time, it does not depend on what any particular government attorney may have had in his or her head about who might be a co-conspirator, and it contains no other caveat or exception,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;This should be the end of the discussion.&#8221;
Maxwell has been in the headlines recently as she&#8217;s agreed to cooperate with the United States Justice Department in its continued efforts to get to the bottom of Epstein&#8217;s crimes. She recently spoke with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in an interview that stretched over two days, and according to reports, gave him the names of some <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-gave-doj-info-on-100-people-linked-to-epstein-her-lawyer-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">100 people</a> who were connected to Epstein in some way.
President Donald Trump has said that he wants to publish as much information about Epstein as possible, but has been adamant that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-democrats-cant-quit-the-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">victims should be protected</a>. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has said the same, stating that he would block a bipartisan push to release the files because the measure did not do enough on that front.
Trump also left the door open for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hes-allowed-to-pardon-ghislaine-maxwell-keeps-option-open-after-doj-meeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pardoning Maxwell</a>, saying recently that he at least was leaving the option on the table.

Epstein Accomplice Rolls Dice With Supreme Court, Appeals To Get Conviction Tossed

The Washington Post&#8217;s longtime fact-checker Glenn Kessler has taken the outlet&#8217;s buyout offer — and reports of his imminent exit prompted a number of his critics on X to say that he&#8217;d actually sold out a long time ago.
Kessler, who worked for The Washington Post for nearly three decades (27 years, to be exact), joined the growing list of experienced staffers fleeing the outlet, aided by a buyout offer that was extended in May with the express purpose of targeting staffers who had been with the outlet for more than ten years.
&#8220;After more than 27 years at The Washington Post, including almost 15 as The Fact Checker, I will be leaving on July 31, having taken a buyout. Much as I would have liked to keep scrutinizing politicians in Washington, especially in this era, the financial considerations were impossible to dismiss,&#8221; Kessler said, according to a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-fact-checker-takes-buyout-says-paper-has-yet-find-replacement-before-exit">report</a> published Monday by Fox News Digital.
&#8220;When I started in 2011, there were only a handful of fact-checking organizations around the world, and I have been thrilled to watch the movement expand across the globe. So many of these brave and diligent fact checkers have become good friends,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;My fact checks were routinely the most-read articles on The Post’s website. I had my detractors, from both the left and right, but many readers appreciated my efforts to sort out the truth in political rhetoric.&#8221;
He went on to say that he had attempted to work with the outlet to find a replacement — and to stay on and train the new Fact-Check editor on a contract basis — but that it didn&#8217;t happen: &#8220;I didn’t want The Post to have a gap in fact-checking coverage during this fraught period in U.S. history. But we couldn’t work out an agreement.&#8221;
According to the buyout details reported by Fox News Digital, Kessler&#8217;s 27 years at the outlet would make him eligible for a buyout that included 18 months base pay plus &#8220;12 months of pay credit&#8221; added to his retirement account.
But critics took the opportunity to argue that while the idea of fact-checking might have merit on its face, Kessler was the living embodiment of what happened when someone who was not politically objective was determining what the facts were.
&#8220;Glenn Kessler actually was one of the guys that started fact checking, and it was a good idea. But, he failed his profession and his conscience by becoming a partisan watchdog instead of an honest arbiter of the facts. And for that, he deserves all the criticism he now gets,&#8221; Pradheep Shanker posted.

WaPo ‘Fact-Checker’ Takes Buyout, Internet Reminds Him He Stopped Dealing In ‘Facts’ Long Ago

After months — and even years — of showing no curiosity whatsoever regarding the contents of the files relating to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, congressional Democrats and their media counterparts are suddenly disinterested in talking about anything else.
For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
The working theory, based on the comments and questions swirling from the left, appears to be that the Epstein story plays well for Democrats. Of course, that&#8217;s only true if everyone ignores the fact that Democrats could have worked to get the files released years ago — or they could at least have refrained from blocking Republican efforts to subpoena the disgraced financier&#8217;s flight logs.
Still, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) parroted exactly that point during an interview on NBC News&#8217; &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221;
Khanna, who has joined with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to force a vote in the House on the Epstein files. spoke with host Kristen Welker about the Democratic Party&#8217;s sudden pivot to Epstein.
Welker pressed the California Democrat on the shift to all Epstein, all the time, and asked whether anyone was concerned that other issues might get left by the wayside if the Epstein drama was taking up all the oxygen in the room. She especially pressed him on the fact that &#8220;everyday pocketbook issues&#8221; might be a better selling point for Democrats going into the 2026 midterms, but he disagreed.
&#8220;You can&#8217;t do anything constructive with government if you don&#8217;t have trust in government,&#8221; Khanna replied, saying that getting the files released would be a step toward more transparency. He did not explain why Democrats had opposed Republican efforts to get some of the documents in question years earlier.
&#8220;This is about trust in government,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;When John F. Kennedy was president, trust in government was 60%, today it&#8217;s in the teens.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Rep. Ro Khanna says Epstein is a winning issue for Democrats: &#8216;This is about trust in government&#8217; <a href="https://t.co/PXS5oaYaeT">https://t.co/PXS5oaYaeT</a>

The other working theory appears to be that continued pressure with regard to the Epstein case will drive a wedge between Republicans in general and between President Trump and his supporters specifically. And that is only true if everyone ignores all the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/x-isnt-real-life-cnn-data-guru-throws-wet-blanket-on-dem-plans-to-leverage-epstein-drama">polling</a> that indicates the exact opposite is true.
Welker also spoke with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about the Epstein files on Sunday morning&#8217;s broadcast, and she pressed him on President Trump&#8217;s recent comments about Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell — namely the fact that he has &#8220;not considered&#8221; clemency for the convicted accomplice.
Of course, that&#8217;s only true if everyone ignores the fact that Democrats could have worked to get the files released years ago — or they could at least have refrained from blocking Republican efforts to subpoena the disgraced financier&#8217;s flight logs. It&#8217;s also only true if everyone ignores all the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/x-isnt-real-life-cnn-data-guru-throws-wet-blanket-on-dem-plans-to-leverage-epstein-drama">polling</a> that indicates the exact opposite is true.
Still, Welker pressed Johnson on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hes-allowed-to-pardon-ghislaine-maxwell-keeps-option-open-after-doj-meeting">Trump&#8217;s statement</a> — which at face value was a fairly benign and fairly typical refusal to take any negotiating leverage off the table — and asked Johnson to respond to the possibility that Trump could ultimately pardon Maxwell.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re asking my opinion, I think 20 years was a pittance,&#8221; Johnson replied. &#8220;I think she should have a life sentence at least. I mean, think of all these unspeakable crimes, and as you noted earlier, probably 1,000 victims. I mean, you know, this, this is, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s hard to put into words how evil this was, and that she orchestrated it and was a big part of it, at least under the criminal sanction, I think is an unforgivable thing. So again, not my decision, but I have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would.&#8221;

Johnson has said on several occasions that he would like to see as much information as possible released with regard to the Epstein case — but with one very important caveat: the victims must be protected. He has also opposed what he&#8217;s referred to as a &#8220;reckless&#8221; bipartisan bill — the one being touted by Reps.
