EXCLUSIVE: Epstein Rumor Cut From Book, but Author Stands by Source
Jeffrey Epstein just crashed back into Trump world – and an investigative author swears the sex creep was the man who first introduced Donald to his wife Melania.
Andrew Lownie, whose book was gutted after the first lady threatened a “billion-dollar lawsuit,” is doubling down on the explosive claim that HarperCollins panicked and pulped 60,000 copies over.
“My source has proved to be reliable… Everything was double-checked,” Lownie tells KEEPING TABS, baffled that a “one sentence” allegation in a 140,000-word book caused such chaos. He admits he doesn’t want to “get into fights with the President of the United States,” but still stresses, “My source was good.”
Trump biographer Michael Wolff poured gasoline on the fire, saying, “Epstein said the first time Donald Trump and Melania had sex was on his airplane.” As for Melania? She says she met Trump at Fashion Week… but these guys swear the real runway led straight to Epstein Air.
DuBois Leaves CBS in Wake of Weiss’ Rightward Revamp
CBS just lost another big name as new “anti-woke” boss Bari Weiss keeps swinging her axe – and this time, Maurice DuBois is out the door after two decades on the job.
The 60-year-old anchor revealed on Instagram he’ll sign off from CBS Evening News for the last time on December 18, posting career-spanning photos and a heartfelt goodbye. “Moving On: December 18th is the day of my last broadcast at CBS News,” he wrote, calling his 21 years at the network “the Honor of a Lifetime.”
Fans and colleagues flooded the comments in shock – and plenty pointed fingers at CBS’ ongoing shake-up. “What is happening at CBS!?” one viewer demanded, while others griped that it felt like he and former co-anchor John Dickerson were being pushed out.
Meanwhile, insiders say Weiss is already plotting her next swing: a “sharp, debate-driven alternative” to The View.
As one source put it, “It’s personal.”
White House Slammed Over Trump's 'Embarrassing' Christmas Card Cartoon
The White House may have meant to spread holiday cheer, but Donald Trump’s new Christmas card ignited a five-alarm roast instead.
Posted on the official White House Instagram, the sketch shows Trump in a Santa hat, flashing his trademark thumbs-up beneath the words: “Daddy’s home!” – and commenters immediately lost it.
Captioned “Home for the holidays!”, the post was bombarded with mockery. Critics called the card “so embarrassing,” “a joke,” and “maximum level cringe,” with one user cracking, “Do you mean your daddy Putin or your daddy Netanyahu?” Others accused the White House of posting “rage bait.” Trump loyalists fired back, calling him the “best president of all time” – while one supporter unleashed an unhinged rant about “the vegetable Joe Biden.”
In short: the Christmas card said “Daddy’s home” – and the comments said “please send him back.”
EXCLUSIVE: Diddy's Filthy Legal Secrets Spill — Plus His Hunt for the 'Dirtiest' PR Hitman
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ meltdown is now Netflix canon – and the receipts are brutal.
In Sean Combs: The Reckoning, newly unearthed footage shows the embattled mogul pacing his Park Hyatt suite, raging that he needed the world’s “dirtiest” media fixer to rescue his imploding reputation while under federal investigation.
“We are losing the war,” he fumes, doom-scrolling TikTok before barking into the phone: “Things are happening and I’m going to fight for my life… We have to find someone… who has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business of media and propaganda.”
Insiders say it’s pure desperation as he moans, “I have taken eight nuclear bombs to the head,” days before cops raided his room and found drugs, cash and clonazepam under “Frank Black.”
Netflix calls it journalism. Diddy calls it a “hit piece.” Viewers call it… yikes.
Grieving Widow Erika Still Defends Second Amendment After Charlie's Killing
Erika Kirk just dropped a political grenade: her husband Charlie’s assassination wasn’t a “gun problem” at all – it was a “soul problem.”
Speaking at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit, the Turning Point USA widow said the real danger is a country so divided that “individuals… resort to violence” when they “don’t want to hear a different point of view.”
“That’s not a gun problem, that’s a human – deeply human – problem,” she stressed, doubling down on her own support for the Second Amendment. Erika said Charlie’s campus tours revealed students drowning in “mental health, anxiety, (and) depression,” and that he pushed self-care as seriously as politics.
She’s since wiped social media from her phone, saying, “I do not have the brain space for that.” And honestly, seems like a healthy choice.
Lawmakers Push Bondi for New Epstein Details After AG's Claim
Pam Bondi’s Epstein clock is ticking loud enough to wake the dead – and Congress is demanding she quit hitting snooze.
A bipartisan pack of lawmakers wants to know why the Attorney General still hasn’t delivered the long-promised Epstein files, which by law must be released by December 15. In a blistering letter, they reminded Bondi: “We are particularly focused on understanding the contents of any new evidence” and demanded a full briefing “not later than Friday, December 5th.”
The Act orders Bondi to turn over “all unclassified” Epstein records, though she can redact anything that might “jeopardize an active federal investigation” – a loophole critics say could leave the public staring at black boxes instead of answers. Hakeem Jeffries torched her approach as the “Department of Injustice,” accusing Bondi of shielding Trump’s agenda.
At this rate, the only thing getting exposed faster than Epstein’s secrets might be Bondi’s excuses.
