U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he was asking the Department of Justice to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged ties with JPMorgan and several prominent Democratic figures, including former President Bill Clinton. The request comes after a congressional committee released thousands of documents that raised new questions about Trump’s relationship with the convicted sex offender. Along with Clinton, who socialized with the late financier in the early 2000s, Trump said he had asked the Justice Department to investigate former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn founder who is also a prominent Democratic donor. “Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem!” he wrote on social media. “They all know about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!” The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. JPMorgan was not immediately available for comment. The other people named by Trump could not immediately be reached for comment. While nine in 10 Republicans say they approve of Trump’s performance in the White House overall, just four in 10 say they approve of his handling of the Epstein files, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in October.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer takes on President Trump’s latest proposals, including a 50-year mortgage plan and expanded H-1B visas. While Josh supports bold ideas to help more Americans buy homes, he explains why this isn’t the right way to do it—and why bringing in more foreign workers isn’t putting America First. Josh also tackles a disturbing new poll showing the decline of religion in the U.S., warning what it means for the country’s moral fabric. Then, he dives deeper into the Jeffrey Epstein case and the Left’s continued effort to falsely pin it on Donald Trump. Finally, Josh lays out what he believes the president must do now to fix a crisis that’s been badly mishandled since taking office.

A longtime prosecutor has announced that he will take over the Georgia election interference case against President Donald Trump and others. This follows the removal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia was tasked with finding a new leader after Willis was disqualified due to an “appearance of impropriety.” The organization’s executive director, Pete Skandalakis, said Friday that he would handle the case himself. While action against Trump is unlikely while he is president, 14 others, including Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, still face charges.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is sharply criticizing major defense contractors, saying they have “conned” the military into paying inflated prices for equipment when cheaper commercial alternatives were available. Driscoll’s remarks came during a briefing this week, where he accused top defense firms of exploiting government incentives that encouraged overspending. He pointed to a widely cited example: a Black Hawk helicopter screen control knob that cost the Army $47,000 through a contractor, despite being manufacturable for as little as $15.

The BBC has issued an apology to President Donald Trump for a misleading edit of his January 6, 2021 speech, but the broadcaster said there is no basis for a defamation claim. The network’s chair, Samir Shah, sent a personal letter to the White House acknowledging that a documentary had spliced together remarks Trump made nearly an hour apart, creating a misleading impression. The BBC confirmed that it does not plan to rebroadcast the program. The apology comes after Trump’s legal team threatened a $1 billion lawsuit over the edited footage. The BBC said in a statement that while it regrets the misleading presentation, it strongly disagrees that the incident constitutes defamation, noting that the edit was not intended to misrepresent the president.

A man armed with a gun was fatally shot by New York City police on Thursday after a series of threatening encounters that spanned an apartment building, a deli, and a Manhattan hospital, according to the NYPD. Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said the incident began around 7 p.m. when the man confronted another individual inside an elevator on the Upper East Side, pulling out a firearm and pointing it at him. Police say the man then went to a nearby deli, aimed the gun at a worker, and instructed him to call 911, claiming he planned to “shoot up” a hospital. The man briefly entered Mount Sinai Medical Center, placed the firearm on the ground, then picked it back up after telling an on-duty police officer he was armed. When the officer attempted to escort him out, a struggle ensued, and the man retrieved his weapon, prompting the officer to call for backup. The suspect then walked down the street, where responding officers encountered him. Rivera said the man immediately opened fire on officers as they exited their vehicles. Police returned fire, striking the man. He was transported to a hospital in a police vehicle and pronounced dead. Several officers were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Authorities have not released additional details about the man or his motives.

A North Carolina sheriff said Thursday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel are expected in Charlotte as soon as Saturday or early next week to start an enforcement operation. Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden said in a statement that two federal officials had confirmed that plan to him. His office declined to identify those officials. McFadden says details about the operation haven’t been disclosed, and his office hasn’t been asked to assist as the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown turns focus to North Carolina’s largest city. Activists, faith leaders, and local and state officials had already begun preparing the immigrant community, sharing information about resources and attempting to calm fears. A call organized by the group CharlotteEAST had nearly 500 people on it Wednesday. “The purpose of this call was to create a mutual aid network. It was an information resource sharing session,” said City Councilmember-Elect JD Mazuera Arias. “Let’s get as many people as possible aware of the helpers and who the people are that are doing the work that individuals can plug into, either as volunteers to donate to or those who are in need of support can turn to,” said CharlotteEAST executive director Greg Asciutto.
