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.

"Seventy to eighty per cent of the files are still redacted," Khanna said. Jeffrey Epstein was a notorious sex trafficker and financier.

The US military on Tuesday shot down an Iranian drone that "aggressively" approached the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, the US military said, in an incident first reported by Reuters.

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. Most people don't buy movie tickets several days ahead of time, so the true reception won't be known until Friday. But a lack of pre-sales does indica...
