NBC News Top Stories | George Santos betting activity on Kalshi flagged to DOJ, source says by Matt Lavietes AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Betting activity by disgraced former Rep. George Santos on the prediction‑market platform Kalabi was flagged to the Justice Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission after the site detected that he had placed wagers against his own stated intention to attend President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address – a bet he publicly denied by claiming he would be in the gallery, yet he ultimately missed the event. The alert has prompted a federal investigation, which Santos acknowledged in a social‑media post, though he denied any wrongdoing. Santos, expelled from Congress in 2023 and already convicted of wire fraud, identity theft and money‑laundering (receiving an 87‑month prison sentence that former President Trump later commuted), is now facing scrutiny over possible insider‑trading violations linked to his Kalshi wagers.

US Top News and Analysis | DOJ charges ex-prosecutor with stealing Trump documents case report prepared by Jack Smith AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Department of Justice has charged former federal prosecutor Carmen Mercedes Lineberger with stealing the sealed portion of former special‑counsel Jack Smith’s report on the criminal case against former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. According to a four‑count indictment, Lineberger saved the confidential report on her government‑issued computer under the misleading filename “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf” and then emailed it from her DOJ account to her personal Gmail on Dec. 1, 2025. She faces charges of theft of government property and offenses related to the removal and alteration of public records. Lineberger, who was a managing Assistant U.S. Attorney in Fort Pierce, Fla., appeared in court in the Southern District of Florida, was released without bond, and the DOJ has not yet commented. The case occurs amid ongoing legal battles over the original Trump documents investigation, which was previously dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon on constitutional grounds and later revived before being halted after Trump’s 2024 election to a second, non‑consecutive term.

Jezebel | Guy in Charge of Releasing Epstein Files Says ‘I Don’t Understand What "Epstein Investigation" Means’ by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has been in the role for just 47 days, appeared before a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee and claimed he “doesn’t understand what the ‘Epstein investigation’ means” when asked whether the Justice Department’s probe into financier Jeffrey Epstein was still open. Blanche denied the FBI’s statement that the investigation had been closed, contradicted his predecessor’s claim about a “client list” file, and defended the department’s handling of the mandated release of millions of Epstein‑related documents—admitting the DOJ had missed the Dec. 19 deadline, issued heavily redacted files, and mistakenly exposed victims’ identities. Senators and Epstein survivors criticized the DOJ’s errors and the continued failure to fully upload the files, while Blanche offered no apology and suggested the department had “failed” only when a victim’s name was released.

Mother Jones | The President May Settle His Own Lawsuit With Your Money by Sophie Hurwitz AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The DOJ is reportedly weighing a settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS that could channel roughly $10 billion of taxpayer money into Trump’s personal coffers; the suit, filed by Trump and his sons in January, alleges the IRS failed to halt a contractor’s illegal release of his tax returns, raising conflict‑of‑interest concerns because Trump oversees the agency he is suing and the Justice Department is led by his former personal lawyer. A potential agreement would also require the IRS to drop all current and future audits of Trump, his family and businesses, prompting Democratic lawmakers to introduce legislation barring the president, vice president and their relatives from receiving government settlement payments, a move championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. This follows a prior effort by Trump in October 2025 to seek $230 million from the Justice Department over the seizure of classified documents and an earlier Russia‑probe investigation, which he summed up as “awfully strange…to make a decision where I’m paying myself.” Read more: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/05/the-president-may-settle-his-own-lawsuit-with-your-money/ #DonaldTrump #DOJ #IRS #ElizabethWarren #Mar_a_Lago #corruption #mojowire #politics

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | DOJ Plots Giant Payout for Trump in His $10B Taxpayer Shakedown by Janna Brancolini AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a pre‑briefing settlement that could give former President Donald Trump a taxpayer‑funded windfall before a judge decides whether to dismiss his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, which he filed after leaked tax returns were released by a former IRS contractor. The judge has ordered both sides to submit briefs by May 20, and DOJ officials – led by former Trump defense attorney Todd Blanche – are said to be considering paying Trump a portion of the requested sum (potentially doubling his net worth) and having the IRS drop any audits of Trump, his family and businesses. Legal analysts warn that even if a judge later deems the settlement collusive or made in bad faith, she may lack authority to block the payment or related benefits. The case is viewed as weak, given that the contractor who leaked the returns was convicted, and similar suits have been settled without government damages, while Trump simultaneously pursues other lawsuits against the DOJ and faces additional legal judgments.

Jezebel | No Biggie! DOJ’s Search for Epstein Files Apparently Missed this Little ‘Suicide Note’ Detail by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The New York Times has asked a judge to unseal a previously unreported suicide note that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly wrote a month before his death, a detail that adds another layer to the lingering mystery surrounding his 2019 prison suicide. The note, allegedly discovered by Epstein’s former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione—a convicted murder‑for‑hire who claims innocence—was said to be hidden inside a graphic novel on a yellow legal pad and to mention investigators finding “nothing” and a “time to say goodbye.” Tartaglione reportedly gave the note to his lawyers, where it was authenticated, but a Justice Department spokesperson says the agency has never seen such a document and it was not part of the DOJ’s investigations. The effort to release all Epstein‑related files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act has already faced lawsuits and criticism for missing or erroneous records, and the possible existence of the note underscores how many pieces of the case may still be hidden from the public.

qwant news | Why Jeffrey Epstein’s purported suicide note is still being kept secret: ‘Time to say goodbye’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly wrote a suicide note in his New‑York City federal lockup before his 2019 death, according to his then‑cellmate, former NYPD officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who told the New York Times that the note—scrawled on yellow legal paper and hidden inside a graphic novel—proclaimed Epstein’s innocence and ended with “Time to say goodbye.” Although the note was verified as Epstein’s within a year, a federal judge has kept it sealed as part of Tartaglione’s ongoing effort to clear his name of the four murders for which he was convicted, and it has not been included in the Department of Justice’s released Epstein files. Consequently, the contents remain hidden from investigators and the public seven years after Epstein’s death.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Secret Epstein Suicide Note Could Be Exposed in Court Fight by Annabella Rosciglione AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The New York Times has petitioned a federal judge to unseal a suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein during his first, failed attempt to take his own life in July 2019; the note was reportedly found by his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, inside a graphic novel and said something like, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” Because the note was sealed as part of Tartaglione’s own criminal case, federal investigators have not accessed it, and it was omitted from the Department of Justice files released about Epstein’s death—a death officially ruled a suicide but that has spawned numerous conspiracy theories. The Times’ request seeks to make the note public, even though it has not been referenced in any official investigations, including the 2023 DOJ Inspector General report, despite former Attorney General William Barr’s expressed concerns about the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Todd Blanche Makes Thirsty Bid for Full-Time Job by Vic Verbalaitis AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, announced a new federal indictment against former FBI director James Comey for a 2022 Instagram post showing a seashell formation that read “86 47,” which critics interpreted as a threat to the president; the grand jury charged Comey with making a threat against the president’s life and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, each carrying up to ten years in prison. Blanche, who has taken the temporary role after Trump dismissed AG Pam Bondi, appears eager to cement his position by pursuing high‑profile cases, and framed the indictment as a necessary response to dangerous threats. Comey, who was previously indicted and then cleared after a judge dismissed the case, responded via a Substack video denying the charges, asserting his innocence, defending the independence of the federal judiciary, and vowing to contest the accusations in court. The episode underscores the ongoing legal battles between Trump’s allies and his critics, with Comey’s lawyer pledging a vigorous defense on First‑Amendment grounds.

Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.
