Trump says US to get up to 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela at market price

President Donald Trump said “interim authorities” in Venezuela would sell between 30 million and 50 million barrels of “high quality” oil to the US at its market price. “I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.” Trump said the money would be controlled by him as president, but would be used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States.

Public release of Epstein records puts Maxwell under fresh scrutiny amid her claims of innocence

Days after Ghislaine Maxwell asked a judge to immediately free her from a 20-year prison sentence, the public release of grand jury transcripts from her sex trafficking case returned the spotlight to victims whose allegations helped land her behind bars. The disclosure of the transcripts as part of the Justice Department’s ongoing release of its investigative files on Maxwell and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein exposed how an FBI agent told grand jurors about Maxwell's critical role in Epstein’s decades-long sexual abuse of girls and young women. Maxwell, a British socialite and publishing heir, was convicted of sex trafficking in December 2021 after four women told a federal jury in New York City about how she and Epstein abused them in the 1990s and early 2000s. ...

Trump bemoans destroyed reputations from Epstein files in first public comments since DOJ release

President Donald Trump bemoaned on Monday the potential reputational damage inflicted on people who appear in photos released as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which he insisted were only made public because of an effort to distract from his accomplishments.

US seizure of oil tanker off Venezuela about ‘regime change’: senator

President Donald Trump has said the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as tensions mount with the government of President Nicolás Maduro.

The US has built up the largest military presence in the region in decades and launched a series of deadly strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. The campaign is facing growing scrutiny from Congress. The US is ramping up military pressure on the South American country.
