Singer Beyonce speaks during a campaign rally of Democratic presidential nominee U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, in Houston, Texas, on October 25, 2024.
Trump calls to prosecute Beyoncé based on a nonexistent $11 million payment
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump over the weekend called for the prosecution of music superstar Beyoncé – based on something that did not actually happen.Trump claimed in a social media post that Beyoncé broke the law by supposedly getting paid $11 million for her endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris during an October 2024 event in Houston. But there is simply no basis for Trump’s claim that Beyoncé received an $11 million payment related to the Harris campaign, let alone for the endorsement in particular.Federal campaign spending records show a $165,000 payment from the Harris campaign to Beyoncé’s production company, which the campaign listed as a “campaign event production” expense. A Harris campaign spokesperson told Deadline last year...

Jeffrey Epstein
White House hits back at reports Trump named in Epstein files
WASHINGTON — The White House has pushed back against reports that President Donald Trump is among hundreds of names that appear in justice department documents relating to the late convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.The claims were "nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media", a White House spokesman said.It comes as a US judge denied the justice department's bid to unseal Florida court files on Epstein.The Trump administration has been under mounting pressure to disclose more information about the well-connected sex offender. While campaigning last year, Trump had promised to release such files.The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's name appeared multiple times with many others,...

Idaho student killer heads to prison, but mysteries in the case remain
WASHINGTON — Weeks before he was due to stand trial, after years of professing his innocence, Bryan Kohberger made a shocking decision — he was pleading guilty.The 30-year-old faced the death penalty for the gruesome murders of four students, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen in their home in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022.The plea deal spares him his life - but the abrupt ending leaves relatives of the victims with conflicted feelings and many questions unanswered.The state made a "deal with the devil", Kaylee Goncalves's father Steve told reporters. Like others, he had lingering questions about the mysteries surrounding the case, including a motive.But for Ben Mogen, Madison's father, the deal marks a moment of closure for a family...

Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls
US House speaker shuts down chamber to block Epstein vote
WASHINGTON — US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson has announced an early adjournment of the chamber, stalling efforts to force the release of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.The move delays a politically fraught vote on the matter until September amid growing bipartisan pressure for transparency. It followed a key committee vote to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate, to testify before Congress.Calls to declassify Epstein-related files have intensified recently, including from supporters of President Donald Trump.Earlier on Tuesday, the US justice department requested a meeting with Maxwell to ask: "What do you know?"Maxwell's legal team told the BBC they were in discussions with the government and she would...

Philippines goods to face 19% tariff, Trump says
WASHINGTON — The US will levy a 19% tax on imports from the Philippines, US President Donald Trump has announced after meeting with the country's president at the White House.Trump wrote on social media on Tuesday that the new tariff was part of a wider pact, in which the Philippines would remove duties on US goods and the two countries would cooperate militarily."It was a beautiful visit, and we concluded our Trade Deal," he wrote on social media, offering no further details about the apparent agreement.The plan, which was not immediately confirmed by the Philippines, would leave the country facing a tax even higher than what Trump had threatened when he first announced sweeping global tariffs in April.BBC has contacted the Philippine Embassy in Washington DC for...

Trump ‘caught off guard’ by Israel’s actions in Gaza and Syria last week as skepticism of Netanyahu grows inside White House
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump was caught by surprise last week by Israeli actions in Gaza and Syria, and in both instances phoned Benjamin Netanyahu to “rectify” the matter, according to the White House.That underscores what sources have said is an increasingly tense dynamic between the two leaders.A strike last Thursday on the only Catholic Church in Gaza drew an immediate negative reaction from Trump, who phoned Netanyahu to voice his displeasure and to ensure the Israeli leader released a statement calling the strike a mistake.Trump was similarly surprised by Israel airstrikes targeting government buildings in the Syrian capital Damascus last week at a moment his administration is working to rebuild the war-torn nation.“The president enjoys a good working relationship...
