Trump in the unredacted Epstein files ‘a million times’

Two members of Congress have named six men whose names were redacted by the Department of Justice from the Epstein files.

Melania Trump’s $57 million documentary on track to bomb at the box office

A new movie is coming out starring one of the world's most famous people, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares. Amazon's MGM Studios shelled out $57 million for the rights to Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. But days before its release, Australian audiences appear completely disinterested. Melania Trump in the upcoming documentary. (Amazon MGM) At its one screening this Friday at Sydney's Hoyts Warringah Mall, not a single ticket has been sold. In Cronulla, one person is going. At three cinemas in Melbourne, nobody has reserved a seat. Two tickets have been sold at a fourth.

US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern in Italy

News that a unit of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be present during the upcoming Winter Games has set off concern and confusion in Italy, where people have expressed outrage at the inclusion of an agency that has dominated headlines for leading the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

The US will send a unit of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent...
