“Let’s work out a good deal! You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy—and I will. I’ve already given you a little sample with respect to Pastor Brunson,” the letter, dated October 9, 2019, opens. Pastor Andrew Brunson is an Evangelical Presbyterian Church elder and pastor of the Izmir Resurrection Church.

This is part of the Trump coalition, isn’t it? There’s an audience for this hatred out there and a lot of people rally around it. Thank goodness it’s not close to a majority, but it’s part of the line. I’m going to be charitable. I’m inclined to accept Trump’s explanation that he was punked by Kanye. He thought he was meeting Kanye, Kanye brings a couple of guys along, they don’t check them out as carefully as they should have, and before you know it, there’s a fire storm....

A growing number of prominent businesses and organizations—including Ford, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Adidas, HP and Best Buy—have announced plans to suspend or re-evaluate advertising on Facebook and other social media due to concerns over how the platforms handle racist, violent and hateful rhetoric. Meanwhile, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch and Snapchat have all taken action in recent days to remove or flag content from Trump or his campaign that they say violate their community guidelines....

The Duke of York is alleged to have taken part in the sex party while visiting Epstein’s private Caribbean island of Little St James, which Prince Andrew is known to have frequented. The claim is being made by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accuses Epstein of trafficking her to have sex with his rich and powerful friends, but has never spoken publicly about the allegations. During an episode of Dispatches entitled “The Prince and the Paedophile” which raises questions about the prince’s relationship with Epstein, Giuffre’s claim will say that the orgy was the third time she had sex with the royal....

The Duke of York was sued in New York by Virginia Giuffre, who said he had sexually abused her when she was a 17-year-old sex-trafficking victim. Andrew denied the allegation, but settled out of court, seemingly drawing the dispute to a close just months before Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. That all now appears up in the air after a series of events in the British media, which included Ghislaine Maxwell protesting Andrew’s innocence in an interview with Talk TV from prison, followed by reports in The Sun that the duke wants to overturn the deal....

Judge Lewis Kaplan submitted a formal request on behalf of Virginia Giuffre to British authorities for evidence from Robert Olney. Andrew’s former equerry is named in Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book under “Duke of York,” a court filing states. They want to ask the aide about any communications he had with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell or Giuffre and about the prince’s visits to Epstein’s homes. Giuffre says she was forced to have sex with Andrew in London, New York and the U....

The assertion was one of several denials of any wrongdoing made by the 59-year-old British royal in an exclusive interview with BBC’s Newsnight when asked to speak publicly about his links to the disgraced financier for the first time. Andrew said he visited Epstein in New York five months after the convicted sex offender was released from prison on child prostitution charges because he wanted to do the “honorable thing” and break up their friendship face-to-face....

Virginia Giuffre says she was forced by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with the Duke of York when she was a 17-year-old trafficking victim. She has filed a lawsuit in New York but her legal team has been struggling to serve papers on Queen Elizabeth II’s son after he hid out in private royal residences. U.S. law requires a defendant to be served papers before a case can go ahead, creating a significant hurdle for Giuffre because Andrew’s status as a royal enabled him to hide out in police patrolled private residences....

William has supported the England soccer team since he was a child, however, since the day after Queen Elizabeth II died in September he has had the official title Prince of Wales. The royal triggered a backlash after turning out to support the England players before the team flew to Qatar, giving them their World Cup shirt numbers. Welsh actor Michael Sheen was among those to slam William, asking whether he had “not a shred of embarrassment” on Twitter considering his official title, later adding that the problem extended beyond soccer....

A key theme of Harry’s book, titled Spare, is his own reaction to Diana’s death and how for many years he was not certain she had died in the 1997 Paris car crash that also killed her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, instead hoping that she had gone into hiding owing to the abusive media. William’s own reflections on his mother’s death were shared as part of an anniversary documentary made in 2017, twenty years after the crash which happened when he was just 15, and Harry was 12....

Middleton doesn’t talk to the press, the official mouthpieces for the British royal family say as little as possible about her, and the prince himself says even less. The blank slate that is Kate is a real impediment for those who write the first draft of history, but an open goal for the ravenous and fact-light London tabloids. Thus, the tabs treat with characteristic irreverence the ill-sourced rumors that Wills and Kate are secretly engaged to be married—rumors that are roundly denied by equally ill-sourced “friends of the couple....
