CNN By Kaitlan Collins, Annie Grayer, CNN (CNN) — Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Friday showing the many powerful figures in the late sex trafficker’s orbit, including President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and others. Many of the men have been previously linked to Epstein, though the photos may shed new light on the extent of those relationships. Taken collectively, the 19 images – which the Democrats on the committee said came from Epstein’s estate – reinforce the financier was tied in the past to a wide variety of powerful and high-profile people whose ties to him are now under significant scrutiny. One released image shows Trump with six women with leis whose faces were redacted by committee members, while another depicts what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!” The condoms – shown in a bowl with a “Trump condom $4.50” sign – were produced by a novelty shop in New York City named Fishs Eddy. The item is described as a “political satire condom” in the National Museum of American History’s online collection. Other released images depict Steve Bannon and Epstein taking a photograph in a mirror; Bill Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and another couple; and tech billionaire Bill Gates with the former Prince Andrew. Former Harvard President Larry Summers and lawyer Alan Dershowitz also appeared in pictures from the estate. None of the released images depict any sexual misconduct nor are believed to depict underage girls. It was not immediately clear when or where they were taken, or by whom. In a statement, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said House Democrats were “selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.” She pointed to Democrats who have previously been tied to Epstein through document dumps, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett. Plaskett exchanged texts with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. A Democratic consulting group asked Epstein if he wanted to participate in a fundraising dinner with Jeffries in March 2013; Jeffries has said he has no recollection of the message. “The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked and the Trump Administration has done more for Epstein’s victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends,” Jackson said. The Republican-led committee obtained the images from Epstein’s estate as part of its ongoing investigation. The panel has so far released tens of thousands of documents, emails and communications that it received from the Epstein estate that continue to open new lines of investigative inquiry. On Thursday, lawyers for the estate wrote a letter to the committee noting that they could review videos and photographs they had requested “taken at any property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein from January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019.” “Like yesterday’s production, it also includes documents that may not be responsive, but that the Estate was unable to confirm whether they were taken at a property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein. The Estate has provided minimal redactions to these photographs; the redactions are limited to nudity,” the lawyers wrote. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, told reporters the released photos were “significant,” and noted that Democrats on the panel have only combed through about a quarter of the 95,000 photos that have been handed over. “I think anything that we release is significant. I think – clearly, I think people should be able to make judgments on their own as to what they see in these photos. For us, this is about transparency,” said…

Por Chris Isidore, CNN Las próximas señales de la división política de Estados Unidos podrían sonar en tu bolsillo en 2026. El Gobierno planea emitir una moneda de 1 dólar con la imagen del presidente Donald Trump el próximo año, a pesar de un precedente centenario de no honrar a presidentes en ejercicio ni expresidentes vivos en las monedas. Además, en lugar de monedas de 25 centavos que conmemoran la abolición de la esclavitud, el derecho al voto de las mujeres y el movimiento por los Derechos Civiles, el Tesoro emitirá monedas históricas de 25 centavos con hombres blancos de los siglos XVIII y XIX, que ya estaban bien representados en las monedas y en homenajes históricos. Las nuevas monedas, que llegarán después de que el Gobierno dejara de emitir nuevos centavos a principios de este año, evidencian el afán de Trump por dejar su propia huella en la Presidencia mucho más allá de los confines de la Casa Blanca, ya sea poniendo su rostro y nombre en las instituciones estadounidenses o reduciendo las iniciativas de diversidad para replantear la historia de Estados Unidos. La Casa de la Moneda de Estados Unidos publicó el jueves los diseños finales de las monedas de 25 centavos históricas que celebran el 250 º aniversario del país el próximo año. En lugar de la lucha contra la esclavitud o la concesión del voto a las mujeres, los diseños honran principalmente una visión más homogénea de la historia estadounidense: George Washington por la Guerra de la Independencia, Thomas Jefferson y la Declaración de Independencia, James Madison y la Constitución, Abraham Lincoln y el discurso de Gettysburg, así como a los peregrinos que celebraron el Pacto del Mayflower. “Los diseños de estas monedas históricas representan la historia del camino de Estados Unidos hacia una ‘unión más perfecta’ y celebran los ideales de libertad que definen a Estados Unidos”, declaró Kristie McNally, directora interina de la Casa de la Moneda, en un comunicado. “Esperamos ofrecer a cada estadounidense la oportunidad de tener en la palma de su mano los 250 años de historia de nuestra nación, mientras conectamos a Estados Unidos a través de las monedas”. La Casa de la Moneda no explicó por qué decidió eliminar las monedas de veinticinco centavos que se recomendaban anteriormente para homenajear la abolición de la esclavitud, el sufragio y el movimiento por los Derechos Civiles. Ni el Departamento del Tesoro, encargado de la aprobación final de los diseños de las monedas, ni la Casa de la Moneda de Estados Unidos respondieron a las preguntas de CNN sobre el cambio. Sin embargo, Trump ha atacado regularmente a museos y otras instituciones por su visión demasiado negativa de Estados Unidos y su historia. En marzo, emitió un decreto para revocar las exhibiciones en propiedades federales como el Smithsonian que, según él, retrataban erróneamente el “legado incomparable de la nación en la promoción de la libertad, los derechos individuales y la felicidad humana”. La orden fue ampliamente considerada como parte de los intentos del Gobierno de frenar las iniciativas de diversidad. La abolición de la esclavitud, el sufragio femenino y las monedas conmemorativas de los Derechos Civiles no habían sido temas aprobados por el Departamento del Tesoro para conmemorar el 250 º aniversario de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, estos temas fueron recomendados el año pasado por el Comité ciudadano asesor de monedas, un organismo gubernamental bipartidista, según las actas de la reunión revisadas por CNN. El panel recomendó una moneda por la abolición de la esclavitud con la imagen de Frederick Douglass, destacado abolicionista y líder de los Derechos Civiles del siglo XIX, en el anverso. En el reverso, una mano y un brazo liberándose de cadenas. La moneda por el sufragio femenino habría mostrado a una mujer portando una pancarta que pedía “Voto para las Mujeres”. Y la moneda por los Derechos Civiles habría mostrado a Ruby Bridges, una niña de seis años, con sus libros escolares cerca…

By Kyle Feldscher, CNN (CNN) — Fired University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore faces charges of a felony count of home invasion and multiple misdemeanors, related to his arrest on Wednesday just hours after he was fired. According to the state of Michigan’s Criminal Justice Information Center, Moore is expected to be charged with third-degree home invasion, which is a felony. He’ll also be charged with one count of misdemeanor stalking and one count of misdemeanor breaking and entering or entering without breaking, according to the Criminal Justice Information Center. Prosecutor Kati Rezmierski said in court on Friday that Moore had went to the home of the woman who he had been in the relationship with after being notified that he was being fired. “He then, at some point, soon thereafter came to her apartment in the address that is alleged in the complaint, arched his way into that apartment immediately, then proceeded to a kitchen drawer, grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors and began to threaten his own life,” she told Magistrate Odetalla Odetalla. “‘I’m going to kill myself. I’m going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life,’ and a series of very, very threatening, intimidating, terrifying – quite frankly – terrorizing statements and behaviors.” Rezmierski added, “She was terrorized.” Rezmierski said Moore left the woman’s apartment after she told him she was calling her attorney. “The totality of the behavior is highly threatening and highly intimidating,” the prosecutor said, adding, “We consider him a risk to public safety, a risk to this victim.” According to Victoria Burton-Harris, the chief assistant prosecuting attorney in Washtenaw County, the home invasion charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $2,000 fine. The misdemeanor stalking charge is punishable by up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine, and each misdemeanor breaking and entering or entering without breaking charge is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. The Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety continues to investigate the incident and more charges could be added, according to Burton-Harris. “All charges are allegations only. Defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty,” she said. The university said in a statement Wednesday that a school investigation revealed “credible evidence” that Moore was “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” The sudden announcement stated Moore, who is married and has three daughters, was terminated immediately and with cause. News first broke of Moore encountering law enforcement on Wednesday evening, just a few hours after his dismissal was announced. ESPN reported that Saline, Michigan, police assisted investigators from Pittsfield Township – another municipality located outside of Ann Arbor, the home of the university – by detaining Moore. University of Michigan interim president Domenico Grasso called Moore’s conduct that led to his firing “a breach of trust” in a letter to students and staff obtained by CNN on Thursday. “This breach of trust by Coach Moore is painful for many in our community, first and foremost, the individuals directly involved in this situation,” Grasso said. “Yet our swift and decisive action reflects the University’s staunch commitment to a campus culture of respect, integrity and accountability. All of the facts here must be known, so the University’s investigation will continue.” This is a breaking story and will be updated. The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2025 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
