**Adam Schiff Falls Back on Lies as Epstein Probe Heats Up and Pam Bondi Fires Maurene Comey**
As pressure mounts over the *Jeffrey Epstein investigation*, longtime Trump critic *Adam Schiff* is once again deflecting attention—this time calling on Donald Trump to release the full Epstein files. Schiff’s critics say this is a distraction from his own legal troubles, including *a new criminal investigation* into **mortgage fraud**. Trump has accused Schiff of falsely claiming his Maryland residence to secure favorable loan terms while representing California in Congress—a potential violation referred to Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division.
In related news, *Attorney General Pam Bondi* has reportedly fired *Maurene Comey*, the daughter of disgraced former FBI Director *James Comey*. Maurene Comey previously led major prosecutions involving *Jeffrey Epstein*, *Ghislaine Maxwell*, and *Sean “Diddy” Combs*. Her removal has raised eyebrows due to the political connections involved, and investigative journalist *Laura Loomer* speculates this may be tied to corruption within the *Southern District of New York*. No official reason for Comey’s termination has been given.
Despite Democrats' efforts to smear Trump using the Epstein story, **new polling data shows Trump’s approval remains strong**. Even CNN has admitted Democrats are slipping, with *approval ratings for the Democratic Party* hitting historic lows—near 29%. As one commentator quipped, Democrats’ only message heading into 2026 seems to be “We’re not Trump.”
Meanwhile, **Senate Republicans passed Trump’s \$9 billion rescissions bill** in a tight 51–49 vote, slashing foreign aid and defunding public broadcasters like *NPR and PBS*. The legislation will redirect funds toward domestic priorities and national security. Critics like *Senator Bernie Sanders* claim this is an attack on media freedom, while supporters argue taxpayer dollars shouldn’t fund biased, left-leaning outlets.
Trump also signed the **HALT Fentanyl Act**, officially classifying fentanyl-related substances as *Schedule I drugs*. The law has been widely praised by families affected by the opioid crisis and is seen as a major step in combatting illegal fentanyl smuggling—often linked to Biden’s failed border policies.
On a lighter note, Trump announced he convinced *Coca-Cola* to return to using *real cane sugar* in American-made Coke products. Though Coca-Cola hasn’t confirmed the change, many Americans are cheering the idea, especially as health experts like *Robert F. Kennedy Jr.* have blamed *high-fructose corn syrup* for skyrocketing obesity rates.
In international news, *Senator Ted Cruz* introduced a bill to officially **label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization**. The bill, co-sponsored by multiple Republican senators, cites ties to Hamas and the October 7 attacks that killed over 1,200 people, including more than 50 Americans.
Finally, in what some are calling a brewing constitutional crisis, *Anthony Bernal*—a senior aide to *Jill Biden*—invoked the **Fifth Amendment** during a closed-door hearing. Bernal’s silence deepens suspicions about *Joe Biden’s mental fitness* and the growing *autopen scandal*, as multiple Biden insiders now refuse to answer questions under oath.
From corruption allegations to major policy wins, President Trump continues to dominate headlines—and defy the odds.
