  • Seems the lawyer wasn’t playing nice.

    Clarke, a Biden appointee, found that Christensen “repeatedly lied to the Court and to opposing counsel in this litigation” about what was happening in a related case, a class-action lawsuit by Epstein victims against JPMorgan Chase. Clarke also found that Christensen directed the plaintiff, who remains anonymous, to destroy a social-media account that she used to post public messages about her experiences.

    And the judge found that the plaintiff “falsified sonogram images in her personal journals,” which she relied on to allege that Epstein and other men who allegedly abused her carried out what she called an “impregnation game” in which she was forced to either bear their children or undergo abortions.




























  • There’s a bunch of orgs fact-checking this and every one I’ve read calls it a lie. Here’s a possible reason the so-called story broke:

    The stakes are not purely political. Brent crude surged past $120 (£88.73) a barrel after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz on 4 March, an event the International Energy Agency has called the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. US petrol prices hit $4 (£2.96) a gallon by 31 March, and jet fuel costs more than doubled.

    After the Islamabad peace talks between US and Iranian officials collapsed after roughly 21 hours, Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait. By 16 April, Caine confirmed 13 vessels had been turned around, and the operation had been extended into the Pacific to target ships suspected of carrying Iranian cargo.

    Johnson himself argued that Trump’s public messaging on the war has been geared toward moving markets rather than stating facts, citing reporting that traders earned more than $1 billion (£739 million) on suspiciously timed positions during the conflict.
