BREAKINGNEWS VanityFair says they standby thier reporting and discovery will be amazing. You won't last a month worh this lawsuit. 🚨
We formally put Vanity Fair and Condé Nast on notice regarding the false and defamatory allegations published about our client, Jared Kushner.
Serious questions are now being raised about the credibility of this reporting, including by independent journalists.
Despite repeated requests, the author has failed to produce a single bank statement, wire transfer record, account number, or other verifiable evidence supporting these extraordinary accusations.
We have seen no indication that Vanity Fair conducted any independent verification of these claims before publishing them.
We call on Vanity Fair to clarify publicly whether it independently verified these allegations and, if so, what evidence supports them. Or did it simply republish the author’s claims without conducting its own fact-checking?
We have demanded that Vanity Fair remove the article and preserve all records relating to its reporting, fact-checking, editorial review, and publication.
Letter attached. More to come.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just went on TV and made clear that Donald Trump is abandoning Ukraine. Just weeks after Don Jr's wedding paid for by a Russian oligarch, this happens. The corruption is astounding.

BREAKING: A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, “Sending Kash Patel to Russia two weeks before the election is the dumbest yet most unsurprising thing Trump has ever done, and all we Republicans can do is pretend we thought the Putin collusion was a Democratic hoax.”

Cornell university wouldn’t expel all 7 students because five of them had “promising futures”.
That’s a lie.
Five of them have ultra rich parents who pays a lot of money to Cornell. That’s the truth.
Cornell chose money over women’s health.
Sickening.

🚨 BREAKING
Approximately one hour after announcing his resignation, the following statements attributed to U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Randy George became a trending topic on social media:
"Donald Trump absolutely needs to be hospitalized. I'm seriously concerned about his mental state. He's driving the U.S. military to disaster."

Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.
The truth about Lutnick will never die
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.
Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:
bbc.com/news/articles/c9q28d…
I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.
My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.
I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.
The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.
Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

BREAKING: Trump, when privately asked not to go to war with Iran just four days before it started on Feb 28 says "Yes, you’re right. But in the end, we all die anyway. So it doesn’t matter," per Tucker Carlson in a new NPR interview.
Tucker responded "but what about our kids and our grandkids and like our country?" Trump said "Ah" and did not respond.
He also said Trump agreed that the war was not about the nuclear file and was being pushed by Israel for regional hegemony, to weaken the GCC, and to push US bases out.

BREAKING: The US appears to have abandoned its naval blockade line against Iran, pulling its aircraft carriers off it entirely after Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a carrier. The warships have not been located in the CENTCOM area on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery since the beginning of September, including the USS George H.W. Bush, the USS George Washington, the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer and even their escorting destroyers.
The finding suggests the US has pulled back beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles from a blockade line that until August sat at the exit of the Gulf of Oman. The pullback was likely prompted by Iran's first use of anti-ship ballistic missiles against a US carrier on the night of September 5 with the Qasem Basir, which has a range of about 1,200 km and covers almost the entire Arabian Sea.
Iran said on September 12 that not a single US warship remains in the Persian Gulf, down from around 30 before the attack, with all US vessels holding at least 400 km off the Iranian coast. Iran's SNSC chief Rezaei said the Qasem Basir "created hell for the Americans, and they fled."
Independent imagery had not supported that withdrawal until now.
