Tommy Robinson 'in Tenerife' after St Pancras station assault
A British tourist claims he saw Tommy Robinson boarding a flight to Tenerife following an alleged assault at London's St Pancras station. The 42-year-old far-right political activist flew out of the UK as police launched an investigation into an incident in which a man was knocked unconscious on the walkway leading to the station's Thameslink hub. Video footage shared on TikTok on Tuesday by a British tourist appeared to show a man fitting Tommy Robinson's description boarding an airport shuttle. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, a black cap and white trainers, with a visible tattoo on his left leg. The video was captioned: 'Spotted Tommy Robinson getting on my flight this morning.' In another video, the man alleged to be Robinson lifted his cap at the security gates so that a staff member could check his face against his passport photo. Later that day, the British TikToker shared another video tagged with a Tenerife location. Footage shared widely on social media this week, shows an agitated Robinson shouting 'you saw him, he came at me' as a man appears to lay unresponsive and bleeding on the floor. Robinson later claimed in a video he had a fight with a door after showing off a cut on his forehead. But a fellow passenger claimed they saw Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arguing with an older man before 'punching him so hard it knocked him out'. They said Robinson allegedly shouted at him to "come at me then" before he "punched the man so hard he was knocked out". The witness had been on the way to catch a train when he "heard a loud commotion and arguing" at the top of the Platform B escalator. He said that as he approached the top, he saw the pair "facing off and standing very close to each other". The witness told MailOnline that the alleged assault seemed "very serious" as the individual "wasn't moving afterwards". Robinson could then be seen leaving down a staircase, while another man can be heard saying "quick, can we get someone here" to staff. He then comes back up the stairs and appears to tell the man "he come at me bruv, you saw that". Since the clip emerged, Robinson reposted a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from a user which read: "If you approach someone with hostility, a man that receives death threats daily, expect to get a clip round the ear hole." In an update, British Transport Police said: "BTP were called to St Pancras station just after 8.40pm yesterday (July 28) following reports of an assault. "Officers attended and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life threatening. "Overnight the investigation has been ongoing and officers have been making arrest enquiries. "Officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of this morning. "Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning."

Megyn Kelly Has No Sympathy for Trump on Epstein Mess
MAGA media star Megyn Kelly had some harsh words for President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein crisis, saying it was 'hard to have a lot of sympathy' for the administration after a series of unforced errors. The issue has dominated the news for weeks after the Department of Justice and the FBI issued a memo earlier this month concluding that the financier, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, did not have a 'client list' and was not murdered—as many of the MAGA faithful believe—but killed himself. Instead of putting the controversy to rest, the announcement sparked anger and accusations of a cover-up among even some of Trump's most ardent supporters. That response was completely predictable, Kelly said on Monday's episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, making it 'hard to have a lot of sympathy' for the administration. 'Now the president's very annoyed that it won't go away. It won't go away because of the way he's handled it,' she said. She listed a series of missteps on the part of the administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision to issue the memo in the middle of a slow news summer without holding a press conference to answer questions about the findings. That decision was particularly misguided considering Trump's picks to lead the FBI—Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino—had previously 'fanned this flame' and pushed the theory that Epstein was murdered to protect his powerful associates. 'Whoever told the Justice Department that this could somehow be buried and that people would move on and that the Trump administration could get away with that ridiculous two-page summation of 'You're not getting any more information because there's no there there' should be fired,' she said. 'That person is an idiot and didn't understand the Republican base—certainly the core MAGA base.' Instead of getting out ahead of the scandal, the administration has been trying to play catch-up by seeking the grand jury transcripts from Epstein's criminal proceedings—despite knowing the court was not likely to release them—and by speaking to Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, however, is not a reliable source considering she's currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for luring and grooming and Epstein's victims, Kelly said. 'Can we really trust anything this woman says when she it's either this—give something up or someone up—or spend 20 years in jail?' Kelly said. Kelly said she agreed 'completely' with Morgan's assessment of the administration's handling of the scandal, which he described as 'leading everybody up to the water's edge, and then not giving anyone a drink.' 'This is self-inflicted,' she said. Trump and Epstein were friends for years until they had a falling out not over Epstein's sexual impropriety but because he 'stole' Trump's hired help, the president said Monday.

FBI Has Secret Epstein Prison Tape With No ‘Missing Minute'
The FBI has a version of the surveillance video filmed near Jeffrey Epstein's prison block on the night of his death that—unlike the video released to the public—is not missing a minute of footage. Earlier this month, the Department of Justice released nearly 11 hours of CCTV footage taken inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center intended to show that Epstein had died by suicide. The Trump administration immediately faced questions about why the time code displayed in the video indicated that the minute before midnight was not included in the clip. The DOJ said the 'full raw' clip would have captured anyone entering Epstein's cell the night he died, but forensic analysis showed the video was edited repeatedly over several hours, with about a minute of footage missing. Now, government sources say the FBI, Bureau of Prisons, and DOJ inspector general all possess a copy of the video that contains the infamous 'missing minute,' CBS News reported. It's still not clear what that minute shows or why it was missing from the video the DOJ released, according to CBS. The FBI and the DOJ declined to comment, and the Bureau of Prisons told the network it 'had no additional information to provide.' The missing minute has been fodder for conspiracy theorists who believe Epstein—who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges when he died the night of Aug. 9-10, 2019—was murdered to protect his powerful clients and associates. Attorney General Pam Bondi explained away the discrepancy in the video by saying that the system resets every night, 'so every night should have that same missing minute.' She hasn't shared any other footage confirming that explanation, though, and surveillance video experts told CBS that resets aren't a feature of most video systems. The footage was taken in a cell block in the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held at the MCC. The block is near Epstein's cell, but doesn't show it. Instead, a common area and set of stairs leading to various 'tiers,' one of which held Epstein's cell, are visible in the back third of the frame. The FBI found that cameras directly outside Epstein's cell had malfunctioned the night he died. According to the FBI and the DOJ, anyone attempting to access the tier containing Epstein's cell from the common area would have been visible in the footage. But Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald reporter whose reporting exposed Epstein in 2017 and 2018, told CNN's Jake Tapper earlier this month that there were actually other entrances to Epstein's wing besides the one shown on camera. 'It's quite possible that someone from another part of that area could have gone up into his cell,' she said. 'We don't know because we don't have anything on his cell door. The doors they show in that video are not of his cell.' The Daily Beast has contacted the DOJ and FBI for comment. The Epstein controversy has consumed the Trump administration for weeks after the DOJ and the FBI issued a memo earlier this month stating conclusively that the disgraced financier did not have a 'client list' and died by suicide. Those conclusions angered many of the president's own supporters, who expected the administration to provide bombshell revelations in the case. Trump himself was friends with Epstein for more than a decade before the two had a falling out in the early 2000s. On Monday, Trump contradicted a previous claim from his White House that he had cut ties with Epstein because the financier was a 'creep,' suggesting their relationship actually ended because Epstein 'stole' Trump's staff. He also said that he had 'never had the privilege' of visiting Epstein's private Caribbean island.
