Democrat lawmaker faces censure for 'colluding' with Epstein during congressional hearing
House Freedom Caucus member Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) filed a motion to censure Democratic House Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands after bombshell emails revealed she was "colluding" with Epstein during a congressional hearing.
The House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of documents from Epstein's estate last week that revealed Plaskett had been texting Epstein, a convicted sex offender, during a 2019 congressional hearing. In the documents, Plaskett appeared to be asking Epstein for advice on how to question Michael Cohen, then one of President Donald Trump's lawyers.
'The censure would formally condemn Plaskett and strip her of her committee assignments.'
Plaskett had been texting Epstein during the hearing, where he even complimented the Democrat's outfit.
Plaskett's office later released a statement confirming she had exchanged texts with Epstein, saying she welcomes information that "helps her get at the truth."

"During the hearing, Congresswoman Plaskett received texts from staff, constituents, and the public at large offering advice, support, and in some cases partisan vitriol, including from Epstein," Plaskett's office said in a statement to the Washington Post.
"As a former prosecutor she welcomes information that helps her get at the truth and took on the GOP that was trying to bury the truth. The congresswoman has previously made clear her long record combating sexual assault and human trafficking, her disgust over Epstein’s deviant behavior, and her support for his victims.”
Following these revelations, the House Freedom Caucus is leading the charge on Plaskett's censure. The censure would formally condemn Plaskett and strip her of her committee assignments, including the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Congress takes aim at billionaires bankrolling left-wing 'hate campaigns' following Kirk assassination
In light of Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination, congressional Republicans are looking to uproot "militant organizations" that have sown discord in our country.
Neville Roy Singham, a wealthy businessman and political activist, has bankrolled left-wing NGOs like Code Pink that some say are responsible for indoctrinating young Americans and heightening political polarization. Notably, Code Pink was founded by Singham's wife, Jodie Evans.
'We will no longer allow billionaires to bankroll anti-American political movements.'
"Neville Singham has spent millions funding militant organizations that have orchestrated violent riots and launched targeted hate campaigns against Americans with different beliefs," Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida said in a post on X.
Given Singham's role in propping up many of these organizations, Luna and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) are pressuring Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to freeze his assets.

"We will no longer allow billionaires to bankroll anti-American political movements on behalf of foreign governments," Luna said.
Singham is most recently being investigated for his ties to CCP-influence operations that fall under the purview of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Because he appears to fund many of these influence operations, Luna and Comer have called on Bessent to enforce penalties, including freezing Singham's assets, to curb any "malign activities" executed by these organizations.
"It is imperative that we expeditiously halt the continued flow of funds and material support for malign activities conducted at the behest of the CCP," the letter reads.

The House Oversight Committee also investigated Singham in June for allegedly funding "various extremist entities," such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, on behalf of the CCP.
The committee called on Singham to overturn all relevant financial and communications documents pertaining to these far-left organizations. Unsurprisingly, Singham has not provided these documents to the committee.
