‘Ashamed': TV reporter claims Sean ‘Diddy' Combs drugged and raped her on a tour bus
A reporter has accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of drugging and raping her after she tried to get an interview in the midst of his sex trafficking trial. Kathi Steininger claimed she was set to tell her dark story on the stand, but broke her anonymity after she was dismissed, The US Sun reported. Combs, 55, is accused of hiring prostitutes as perverse entertainment for his so-called 'freak offs,' which were sex parties that had a roster of high-profile guests. He would allegedly ply attendees and sex workers with drugs before filming them in compromising positions, and use the tapes as blackmail. At the centre of the charges is his relationship with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who broke the story wide open when she sued the mega producer in November 2023. In that suit, she accused her ex-lover of raping and beating her, as well as forcing her to take part in the sometimes days-long freak-offs. After the lawsuit was filed and settled out of court, dozens of alleged victims came forward with legal complaints of their own, where they described harrowing brushes with the rapper. Now, Steininger, who is an Austrian national, has claimed in an interview that she was also targeted by the mega producer when she was just 19 years old. In March 2000, the budding journalist scored an on-camera interview with Combs during his European tour, she told Austrian broadcaster PULS 24 on Monday. But at some point during the chat, she claims she was separated from her cameraman and given a drink by Combs, which she believes was drugged. The next thing she knew, the then-teenager was allegedly on the back of a tour bus being raped by the musician. She said she felt too out of it to move or cry for help. 'There was 100 percent something in it,' she said of the drink. 'I would never have gone to bed with that man.' After the alleged attack, she said she felt too 'ashamed' to tell anyone. Steininger claimed she was going to take the stand as part of Combs' ongoing trial, but said her story was out of the statute of limitations because she and Diddy were overseas. After getting that news, she chose to break her anonymity and join the growing chorus of women and men urging for justice. The accuser claimed the alleged attack left her with post-traumatic stress disorder and that she was unable to work. She's reached out to prosecutors in Austria to pursue charges, but because the alleged attack was so long ago, it's also considered outside the statute of limitations. However, she claims that state attorneys told her they would re-examine the case based on the results of Combs' sex trafficking trial. 'I want some kind of punishment for what he did to me,' she said. The US Sun has reached out to Combs' spokesperson for comment.

What we know about Trump's newly ordered probe into Biden's alleged use of 'autopen'
US President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to investigate former president Joe Biden's actions, targeting his aides, including an autopen. The order could lay the groundwork for arguments by Republicans that a range of Mr Biden's actions as president were invalid. The president has claimed that Mr Biden's aides concealed his "cognitive decline" and abused presidential authority. What is happening, and why has Trump made such a big deal out of it? Let's break it down. Mr Trump has mandated two investigations through the memorandum he signed on June 4. The investigations aim to assess Mr Biden's capabilities as a president and the executive actions he has signed. The first investigation will examine whether anyone conspired to "deceive the public about Biden's mental state" and "unconstitutionally exercise" his authorities and responsibilities. The second one will probe Mr Biden's executive actions executed during his final years in office, for example, policy documents signed with an autopen and who authorised its use. This January, Mr Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses in the final minutes of his presidency, saying his family had been "subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me". He also pardoned Anthony Fauci, the former US chief medical adviser and retired General Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack on the Capitol. "Biden's cognitive issues and apparent mental decline during his presidency were even 'worse' in private, and those closest to him 'tried to hide it' from the public," he said. Mr Trump said that the nation was governed through presidential signatures, adding that the president of the US "holds tremendous power and responsibility through his signature". "The vast majority of Biden's executive actions were signed using a mechanical signature pen, often called an autopen, as opposed to Biden's own hand," he claimed. "This was especially true of actions taken during the second half of his presidency, when his cognitive decline had apparently become even more clear to those working most closely with him." The president has questioned whether Mr Biden's aides were usurping presidential authority, as he said he believed his predecessor lacked the capacity to exercise his presidential authority. For decades, US presidents — including Trump — have used autopens, which is a device that mechanically replicates a person's signature, to sign documents and correspondence. Barack Obama was the first president to use one to sign a law in May 2011, when he signed an extension to the Patriot Act. Mr Obama was in France on official business and, with time running out before the law expired, he authorised the use of the autopen. On the same day, House Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, a Republican, announced he would expand the investigation into the alleged "cover-up of Biden's mental decline". Mr Comer reiterated his call for Mr Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor, and former senior White House aides Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and Neera Tanden to appear for transcribed interviews. "The American people deserve full transparency and the House Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation to provide answers and accountability," the chairman said. He warned subpoenas would be issued this week if they refuse to schedule voluntary interviews. "I think that people will start coming in the next two weeks," Mr Comer told reporters. He added that the committee would release a report with its findings, saying "and we'll release the transcribed interviews, so it'll be very transparent." Here are the roles of Biden's five senior advisers: Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House counsel David Warrington have been ordered to handle the investigation. It's unclear how far Mr Trump will push this effort, which would face certain legal challenges. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has not released any statements in response to Mr Trump's order.

Keanu Reeves' latest red carpet appearance sparks speculation
Actor Keanu Reeves and his longtime girlfriend Alexandra Grant made a red carpet appearance together in Los Angeles this week – and one small detail sparked speculation the pair may have secretly marked a big milestone. Eagle-eyed celeb watchers noted that Grant was wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. It's not the first time fans have noticed the eye-catching detail – she was first spotted wearing the ring several months ago. Reeves, 60, and his 52-year-old visual artist girlfriend have been quietly dating since at least 2019, when they made their first red carpet appearance together as a couple. Before that, they'd been friends since at least 2011. Grant gave some rare comments about her relationship with Reeves when she appeared at the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards in 2023. 'The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun,' she told People on the red carpet, which she walked solo. 'I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone. 'It's interdependent and independent in the best ways.' She also opened up about what she loves most about Reeves, speaking to how they inspire one another in their careers. 'In a moment of frustration in my life, I once said, 'Sometimes I feel like a Maserati stuck in traffic,' that I have this big engine, but, for a variety of reasons, that I couldn't ever go,' she began. 'What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we're pushing each other to build new roads. 'Seeing the other person's problem-solving is inspiring, like, 'Oh, well, okay, this one, that's a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?' 'He's such an inspiration to me. He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard.' Likewise, Reeves has been effusive in his praise in the rare times when he's publicly discussed his relationship with Grant. He gave a surprisingly candid answer in a 2023 interview with People when the outlet asked him to name the last time he'd felt 'bliss.' 'A couple of days ago with my honey,' Reeves revealed. 'We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.'
