EXCLUSIVE: Epstein Pal Leon Sues to Block NDA Subpoenas
Leon Black is lawyering up to keep Congress out of his secrets.
The billionaire financier sued the House Oversight Committee on the same day he was due to testify in its Jeffrey Epstein probe, hoping to squash subpoenas demanding private NDAs and sworn testimony.
Black claims lawmakers are digging far beyond his ties to Epstein and targeting him for “purely political gain.” His lawyers warn the demands could expose confidential agreements involving women with no connection to Epstein and “tattoo the stain of the Epstein scandal on innocent women.”
Congress has threatened to use “all tools at its disposal, including contempt” if Black doesn’t comply.
Black wants a judge to slam the brakes – before Congress gets a peek behind the NDA curtain.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump Golf Course Foes Say D.C. Overhaul Started Without Approval
Donald Trump’s golf plans just landed in the legal rough.
Opponents claim his administration is already tearing into historic East Potomac Golf Course – before a final redesign has even been approved.
Court filings say more than 60 trees have been removed as excavators, Bobcats and other heavy machinery rolled onto the property. One golfer even claimed he watched crews chop down a cherry tree near the 14th hole.
The government calls the work “routine” maintenance and insists “no decision has been reached” on a redesign. But opponents say officials have already “adopted and begun implementing a plan to destroy East Potomac Golf Course” – and even allege “toxic debris” was dumped there.
Looks like this golf fight is officially below par.
Maria Abruptly Exits Fox News Amid Election Fraud Claims
Maria Bartiromo is out–– and Fox moved fast.
The longtime anchor abruptly exited after 12½ years, with her shows renamed and online bio quickly scrubbed.
Fox simply said: “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.”
Journalist Oliver Darcy reports Bartiromo was fired after allegedly showing the White House a confidential message instructing Fox staff not to cover Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims.
Neither Fox nor Bartiromo has revealed the official reason for her exit.
EXCLUSIVE: Clancy Lawsuit Claims Hospital Discharged Her Despite Suicidal Thoughts
Lindsay Clancy’s five-day hospital stay is under fire.
Her lawsuit claims McLean Hospital discharged her despite suicidal thoughts and “limited” insight and judgment.
Clancy checked herself in on New Year’s Eve 2022 and was placed on 15-minute suicide checks – but allegedly waited three days to see a doctor due to a “skeleton crew.”
She left January 5 and allegedly received just a 10-minute follow-up call. The next day, another psychiatrist described her as “deteriorating.” Eight days after her discharge, her three children were dead. Now her lawyers say the alleged failures “directly contributed” to the tragedy.
Five days of care – and a devastating aftermath.
EXCLUSIVE: Trump Pardon Chief Says She Was Fired Over Mel's Gun Rights
Mel Gibson’s gun rights allegedly got Trump’s pardon chief the boot.
Former DOJ official Elizabeth Oyer claims she was fired after refusing to recommend restoring Gibson’s firearm rights following his domestic violence conviction.
Oyer alleges officials pressured her to reconsider due to Gibson’s relationship with Trump, with one allegedly using a “bullying tone.”
She held her ground, arguing the actor hadn’t undergone the same background review as other candidates. The next day, Oyer claims she was handed a termination memo, told to pack up and escorted out.
Now she’s suing to get her job, pay, and benefits back.
