Comer, Crockett clash over Barr's Epstein testimony as ex-Trump AG ends four-hour House grilling
Former Attorney General Bill Barr's closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee wrapped after over four hours on Monday, and lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle had very different interpretations of how it went. Reps. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., who represented committee Democrats during the staff-led sit-down, said they were left with "more questions now" than before Barr's deposition began. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., the lone Republican present, said Barr "shed a lot of light" on the Epstein case and said he "answered all the questions" presented to him. Both sides only spoke with reporters partway through Barr's testimony, which began at 10 a.m. Monday. Fox News Digital witnessed him leaving roughly 30 minutes before 3 p.m. "I think the Democratic side is doing most of the heavy lifting, and I don't think we're learning much from the questioning from the House Republicans," Subramanyam said. "It doesn't seem like this is something where they are truly caring about the victims and about trying to get to the bottom of what's happening." Crockett said, "It seems like they are going through the motions, and they want people to believe that they are digging in. But at the end of the day, I don't think that we've learned anything through the Republican questioning that you couldn't find in one of the articles that most likely your outlets have printed." Comer told reporters later by contrast, "Our goal with this investigation is to be transparent." He even lauded Democrats for taking the matter "seriously," adding, "This is a bipartisan investigation, and hopefully, we'll be able to get the answers the American people want and deserve." When asked about the Democratic lawmakers' attacks on Republicans' line of questioning, however, Comer accused them of playing politics with the situation. "It's unfortunate the Democrats are trying to, it seems to me, politicize this. When you look at the basis of this, horrific crimes against young girls, and, of course, the Democrats' goal is to try to dig up some type of dirt on President Trump," Comer said. He said Republican staff were "asking a lot of tough questions" and accused Democrats of operating on a double standard. "I don't ever remember the Democrats subpoenaing a former Democrat attorney general for anything," he said. Comer accused Democrats of trying to create a "false narrative" connecting Trump and Epstein, after Subramanyam floated the possibility of a "cover-up" by Trump and his allies. "This is a serious investigation. This is a sincere investigation. I hope this will be a bipartisan investigation. I would encourage my Democrat colleagues not to politicize this," Comer said. "I think General Barr answered a lot of questions that probably burst their bubble with respect to, he had never communicated with President Trump on a potential Epstein list or anything else. And he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump." Barr arrived on Capitol Hill nearly an hour before his scheduled deposition, only quipping that the "early bird gets the worm" in response to a flurry of reporter questions. He was similarly soft-spoken on his way out, even as Fox News Digital and others questioned what he told House investigators. Barr only said "absolutely" when asked if he had a good conversation Monday. A source familiar with his deposition told Fox News Digital that Barr "made clear that President Trump never provided any views or instructions related to the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein or his death, and that he never saw any evidence suggesting President Trump committed a crime." "He further stated that he believed the Biden Department of Justice would have released any incriminating evidence against President Trump if such evidence existed," said the source, who described Barr as "cooperative." Barr is the first of several people who were subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee after Republicans and Democrats voted to direct Comer to open the probe last month. Several other former attorneys general, ex-FBI directors, and even former First Couple Bill and Hillary Clinton were also subpoenaed. Fox News Digital reached out to Barr's lawyer for comment but did not immediately hear back.

AI Chatbots Under Fire: Texas Investigates Misleading Claims Of Therapy For Vulnerable Users
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Meta AI Studio and for allegedly deceiving children and vulnerable users by posing as legitimate mental health services. The probe targets AI chatbot platforms that may violate consumer protection laws by falsely marketing themselves as therapeutic tools without proper medical credentials or oversight. These platforms risk exploiting vulnerable individuals, particularly children, who may believe they're receiving professional counseling when they're actually getting generic, algorithm-generated responses. The investigation comes amid growing concerns about AI's role in mental health care. According to Paxton's office, the chatbots have impersonated licensed mental health professionals and fabricated qualifications. They also claim to provide private counseling services, while their terms of service reveal extensive data tracking. 'In today's digital age, we must continue to fight to protect Texas kids from deceptive and exploitative technology,' Paxton said. 'By posing as sources of emotional support, AI platforms can mislead vulnerable users, especially children, into believing they're receiving legitimate mental health care.' The attorney general added that users are 'often being fed recycled, generic responses engineered to align with harvested personal data and disguised as therapeutic advice.' User interactions are logged and exploited for targeted advertising and algorithmic development, despite promises of confidentiality. This raises serious privacy and false advertising concerns. Paxton has issued Civil Investigative Demands to both companies to determine potential violations of Texas consumer protection laws. These include prohibitions against fraudulent claims, privacy misrepresentations, and concealing material data usage. The investigation builds on Paxton's existing probe into for potential violations of the SCOPE Act. It represents his broader effort to ensure AI tools remain lawful and transparent for Texas families. Solve the daily Crossword

Browns sign rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond after sexual assault case is dropped
Undrafted rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond signed with the Cleveland Browns on Monday, less than a week after a sexual assault case against him was dropped. Bond ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine — the ninth-fastest time among wide receivers — and was projected to be drafted in the middle rounds before he was accused of sexual assault and surrendered on April 10 in Frisco, Texas. A Collins County, Texas, grand jury determined Thursday that there was not enough evidence to indict Bond and dismissed the case. The Browns hosted Bond as one of their 30 predraft visits. Cleveland offensive coordinator Tommy Rees coached at Alabama the two seasons Bond was there, which also weighed into the decision. Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry said in a statement that the organization spent the past four months doing 'extensive research that includes but is not limited to hearing from both sides of the case and receiving the results of an independently administered polygraph test. 'Before the allegations, we also spent a great deal of time with Isaiah during the draft process on campus, at the Combine and at our facilities. His time at Alabama with Tommy Rees also weighed heavily on our assessment of his ability to operate successfully in a professional environment if brought into our organization. It is these touchpoints and more that gave us the necessary insights to make this decision.' Bond spent last season at Texas. He appeared in 41 games in college and had 99 receptions for 1,428 yards and 10 touchdowns. To make room for Bond, Cleveland waived long snapper Brent Matiscik. Unsigned second-round pick Quinshon Judkins also had a domestic violence case against him dropped Thursday in Florida, but there was no word on when the running back might possibly be signed. The Browns conclude the preseason on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. Even though there are only a couple of weeks until the Sept. 7 opener against Cincinnati, coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday he thinks both Bond and Judkins — or any player added to the roster this week — can make up for lost time. 'That happens during the season, can happen in training camp where you got, you have to get players up to speed quickly,' Stefanski said. "That happens sometimes you get a guy on a Wednesday and they have to play on a Sunday. So that's part of our job as coaches, is to get them ready to roll.' ___ AP NFL:
