The recent GST Council meeting introduced a two-tier structure, marking a significant revamp.

Trump ORDERS Release Of Full Epstein Documents | Pushes To Declassify Epstein’s DARKEST Secrets

Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all relevant grand jury documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case — days after outrage erupted over a Wall Street Journal report alleging Trump sent Epstein a nude-themed birthday greeting. Trump blasted the story as “fake” and promised to sue WSJ, accusing them of printing “malicious lies.” The renewed push for transparency comes after mounting pressure from Trump loyalists demanding the infamous Epstein “client list” be made public. Bondi confirmed she’s prepared to move the court to unseal grand jury files. However, legal experts caution that court approval is still needed for any release. It remains unclear which cases the documents pertain to — Epstein’s 2006 charges or the 2019 federal s#x trafficking indictment. The move reignites the political firestorm surrounding Epstein’s powerful connections and the lack of transparency in the government’s handling of his case. #Trump #EpsteinFiles #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinClientList #PamBondi #DOJ #TrumpVsWSJ #GhislaineMaxwell #FakeNews #GrandJury #FlightLogs #EpsteinCoverup #WSJScandal #TruthSocial #EpsteinDeath #TrumpOrdersRelease #UnsealTheDocs #EpsteinInvestigation #TrumpLawsuit #Murdoch Also Read Slip Of Tongue!

Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense [Video]

Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own? #Trump #DepartmentOfWar #Pentagon #USMilitary #WarriorEthos #PeteHegseth #WhiteHouse #ExecutiveOrder #WorldWarHistory #DefenseToWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.122~
