Here's What Trump Told Howard Stern in 2006 When Asked About His Minimum Sexual Age Limit
The interview resurfaces days after a Wall Street Journal report on Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein Donald Trump gave a startlingly low number when asked if he had a sexual 'age limit' during a now-resurfaced interview with Howard Stern. Trump has been under heightened scrutiny in the weeks since the DOJ and FBI released a memo that, despite previous statements, there was no evidence of a client list from Jeffrey Epstein existed. This led many conspiracy theorists convinced of the list's existence to assume Trump has to be on it. With this closer examination into the president's past statements, an unearthed interview on 'The Howard Stern Show' certainly paints more questions for Trump. More from TheWrap Here's What Trump Told Howard Stern in 2006 When Asked About His Minimum Sexual Age Limit New Congressional Bill Bans AI Companies From Training on Copyrighted Works or Personal Data Without Consent Jim Parsons Slams Trump for Cutting LGBTQ+ Crisis Hotline: 'I Think It's Quite Literally Criminal' Hunter Biden Blasts George Clooney Over Joe Biden Criticisms: 'What Right Do You Have' 'Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds,' Stern asked in the 2006 interview. 'Oh, absolutely,' Trump responded 'I have no trouble.' 'Would you do it' Stern clarified. 'I have no problem,' the future president said. Stern's co-host Robin Quivers then asked, 'do you have an age limit or would you…' 'If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…' Trump replied. Then, when asked to provide his 'upper bracket,' Trump said, 'I don't want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.' Trump was referring to disgraced former Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley. His political career was destroyed in 2006 after it came out that he had sent sexually suggestive emails and instant messages to several teenage boys he had met when they were congressional pages. The revelations kicked off a major scandal for Republicans just before the 2006 election, and Foley was forced to resign from congress on September, 2006. However, he was ultimately never charged with any crime. Meanwhile, the minimum age to become a congressional page is 16. Foley was never accused of sending sexually explicit messages to anyone younger, contrary to Trump's baseless claim in his interview with Stern. Read more here. Trump's appearance on 'The Howard Stern Show' was resurfaced days after the Wall Street Journal published the content of a note Trump wrote for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003 consisting of 'several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker.' The message also included an imaginary conversation between the two. According to WSJ, a portion read. Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey. Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it. Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? The message ended with, 'may every day be another wonderful secret.' Following the story's release, Trump filed a $10 billion libel lawsuit.

Trump's Treasury Secretary suggests August 1 trade deal deadline doesn't matter one day after Commerce Secretary calls it a ‘hard deadline'
The Trump administration may be taking a flexible approach to what it previously described as a 'hard deadline' of long-promised tariffs taking effect on August 1. 'The important thing here is the quality of the deal, not the timing of the deals,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Monday, arguing the president's tariff threats had created 'maximum leverage as only he can do' for countries to swiftly reach trade deals with the U.S. 'Our trading partners were told that the rates could boomerang back toward the April 2nd levels,' he added. 'We can continue talking then. But again, we're proceeding apace with the negotiations, but we're not going to rush for the sake of doing deals.' Other Trump officials have described the August 1 deadline, when U.S. trading partners could face up to 40 percent tariffs, as a firmer cutoff point. 'That's a hard deadline, so on August 1, the new tariff rates will come in,' Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CBS News on Sunday. 'Nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they're going to start paying the tariffs on August 1.' The Trump administration is focusing more on the 'quality' of trade deals than White House's August 1 tariff deadline, though Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says U.S. is applying 'maximum leverage' through Trump to secure swift results (REUTERS) The president, for his part, has called the deadline "firm but not 100 percent firm.' Throughout July, the Trump administration has written letters to foreign leaders warning of the coming tariffs, expected to include a 35 percent tariff rate against Canada, a major U.S. trading partner, and a 30 percent rate for the European Union and Mexico. Since being unveiled in April, Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff agenda has been repeatedly delayed, and the administration has conceded it won't achieve its original promise of 90 trade deals in 90 days. 'There's 200 countries,'' the president said earlier this month. 'You can't talk to all of them.'' The president's hesitancy to fully implement the tariffs has prompted critics of the president to deem the tariff agenda the 'TACO' plan, for 'Trump always chickens out.' The markets 'shrugged' off Trump's move to push back the tariffs to August, Carolyn Kissane, a professor at NYU's School of Professional Studies Center for Global Affairs, told The Independent earlier this month, compared to the initial market plunge when the tariffs were first revealed. 'The pattern is familiar: dramatic declarations, walk-backs, and renewed threats. It's eroded his credibility and resembles the boy who cried wolf,' Kissane added. 'He believes this tactic gives him a unique leverage to negotiate, but it also weakens the threats.'

Trump administration releases thousands of files on MLK Jr. assassination
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is pictured in a photo from 1966. On Monday, the Trump administration released 230,000 files on the 1968 assassination of the civil rights leader. UPI File Photo | License Photo July 21 (UPI) -- The Trump administration on Monday released 230,000 files on the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the files' release and provided a link to the thousands of FBI records. "Today, after nearly 60 years of questions surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are releasing 230,000 MLK assassination files, available now at Gabbard wrote Monday in a post on X. "The documents include details about the FBI's investigation into the assassination of MLK, discussion of potential leads, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, information about James Earl Ray's former cellmate who stated he discussed with Ray an alleged assassination plot, and more," Gabbard added. The release comes after Trump signed an executive order in January that also declassified records on the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The documents, which were stored in federal facilities for decades and released Monday -- in partnership with the Justice Department, Central Intelligence Agency, National Archives and Federal Bureau of Investigation -- have been digitized and are available for all to see. "I am grateful to President Trump and DNI Gabbard for delivering on their pledge of transparency in the release of these documents on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.," said his niece, Dr. Alveda King. "My uncle lived boldly in pursuit of truth and justice, and his enduring legacy of faith continues to inspire Americans to this day," she added. "While we continue to mourn his death, the declassification and release of these documents are a historic step towards the truth that the American people deserve." Besides advocating for civil rights, Martin Luther King Jr., was a Baptist minister. He was shot and killed on April 4, 1968, at Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., at the age of 39. Convicted robber and prison escapee James Earl Ray was identified as King's killer after his fingerprint was found on a rifle near the murder scene. The documents also reveal Ray's conversation with a former cellmate about the alleged assassination plot. Ray pleaded guilty to King's murder to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison and died in custody in 1998. "Under President Trump's leadership, we are ensuring that no stone is left unturned in our mission to deliver complete transparency on this pivotal and tragic event in our nation's history," Gabbard said. "I extend my deepest appreciation to the King family for their support."
