Republican probing Epstein files labels Bill Clinton a 'prime suspect'
A top Republican congressman has labeled former President Bill Clinton as a 'prime suspect' in his Jeffrey Epstein investigation and put forth a far-fetched theory that he could be punished with jail time if he skips the meeting. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., fanned the flames of his ongoing probe into the deceased sex offender during a Newsmax interview on Monday evening. Hillary Clinton is being asked to sit for deposition on October 9 and the committee wants to depose Bill Clinton on October 14. Other top Obama and Biden-era officials are being called for interviews. If the Clintons don't show up for interviews, Comer floated the possibility of penalty of the former first couple being held in contempt. 'If someone doesn't comply with a subpoena — we've seen it happen in the past, in both my committee, as well as on the Jan. 6 committee, when the Democrats had the majority — and you can hold them in contempt of Congress,' the lawmaker ominously brought up. 'And with a Republican attorney general, that's something that I think that the Clinton legal team is going to think long and hard about.' A spokesperson for Clinton did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment. If Clinton opts not to testify, then Congress could recommend his charges to Attorney General Pam Bondi. 'Hopefully we'll win that court battle with that subpoena and see President Clinton in October,' Comer said before touting his record as chairman. 'I've never lost a subpoena battle.' 'This is the most challenging subpoena I've ever issued, but what makes this subpoena different is that the Democrats voted with Republicans,' the Republican continued. Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine ranging up to $100,000 and jail time from one month up to twelve months. It would be unprecedented for a former president and first lady were ordered to jail for flouting Congress. While there have been instances of imprisonment for contempt of Congress, these have primarily involved officials and private citizens, but not former presidents or first ladies. In addition to the subpoenaed Democrats, Trump's former Attorney General Bill Barr has also been asked to sit with the committee.

Karoline Leavitt says chief of police now answers to Trump who is Commander-in-Chief of DC force
The White House has confirmed the temporary chain of command for the District of Columbia police force over the next month, placing the ultimate authority for the department with President Donald Trump. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday told reporters that the Trump administration plans to 'work with' the department's exiting command structure after Trump invoked a never-before-used authority in the city's home rule charter to take control of the police department, but she reiterated the new lines of responsibility that end in the Oval Office. 'Ultimately, the chain of command is as such: The President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, [and] our DEA administrator, Terry Cole, who is now serving ahead of the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department,' she said. Cole, who Trump announced as the acting head of the department at a press conference on Monday, has temporarily replaced D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser as the person to whom MPD Chief Pamela Smith reports. The president justified the unprecedented move as necessary because of what he described — inaccurately — as record crime levels akin to some of the world's most violent cities — even as the American capital has seen declines in murder and other violent crime for the past two years. The previously unused section of the 1973 D.C. Home Rule Act Trump invoked in an executive order allows the president to use the Washington police department for federal purposes for a 30-day period. It was intended for use during periods of civil unrest like the riots that gripped the city and left parts of it burnt out and in ruins after the 1968 assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but in practice there is no constraint on the president's ability to make use of the law so long as he 'determines that special conditions of an emergency nature exist which require the use of the Metropolitan Police force for federal purposes.' Although Washington's murder rate hit levels not seen since the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s just two years ago, the period since has seen a steep decline under Smith, who was named to her role in 2023 after two years leading the U.S. Park Police. Statistics made public by the DC government and the Department of Justice show other violent crimes having declined during the same period. Yet Trump, whose view of Washington is largely limited to what he sees from his armored limousine while riding to and from the golf course he owns in Sterling, Virginia, described the situation in the capital as 'complete and total lawlessness.' He also blamed the 'dire public safety crisis' on 'the abject failures of the city's local leadership,' including the city's elected city council's decision to abolish cash bail as part of efforts to reduce racial inequities in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer.

US sprint star Fred Kerley provisionally suspended for whereabouts failures
Olympic 100m silver and bronze medallist Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for whereabouts failures, the organization said on Tuesday. American Kerley, the 100m world champion in 2022, plans to contest the allegation that he violated anti-doping rules. 'He strongly believes that one or more of his alleged missed tests should be set aside either because he was not negligent or because the Doping Control Officer did not do what was reasonable under the circumstances to locate him at his designated location,' an attorney for Kerley said in a statement posted on his X account. He withdrew from the US track and field trials late last month, writing on social media that he was: 'Taking some time out to get back on track.' 'The 100m should be a straight sprint. 2025 has presented many hurdles,' he wrote on X. 'Thanks to all my supporters.' He last competed a month ago at the Grand Sprint Series in Norwalk, California.
