‘Angry' Rob Reiner cursed at Emhoff during Biden debate watch party: Book
The scene at the Los Angeles home of James Costos last June is depicted in 'Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,' the book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson published Tuesday.
'The gathering had originally been planned as a fundraiser for the Biden Victory Fund, but then the debate was scheduled for the same night, so the hosts turned it into a fancy and hopefully fun debate watch party, with people sitting in three or four different rooms,' the authors wrote.
But the star-studded event — with a crowd that included Reiner, Emhoff, actor Jane Fonda and Democratic Govs. Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gretchen Whitmer of Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan, respectively — quickly became a 'debate watch horror show' as Biden repeatedly and dramatically stumbled against then-former President Trump.
'A few minutes into it, Reiner, in the main living room, stated plainly: 'We are f—ed!'' Tapper and Thompson wrote of the 78-year-old 'When Harry Met Sally' director, one of Hollywood's most vocal Trump critics.
According to the book, Reiner 'became angry. Soon he was venting, standing, full of fury.'
'He seemed to be looking at Emhoff. Daggers.'
''We're going to lose our f—ing democracy because of you!' Reiner yelled.
'Because of me? Emhoff thought,' the 'Original Sin' authors wrote.
Representatives for Emhoff and Reiner didn't return ITK's request for comment.

Sherrill leads Ciaterelli in New Jersey governor race, but polls show many undecided
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) continues to hold a commanding lead over her top main rival Jack Ciattarelli (R) in the race to be New Jersey's next governor, according to a new poll. The latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll found Sherrill with a nine-point lead over Ciattarelli with three months left until Election Day, but pollsters noted that the dynamics could shift as 17 percent of likely voters remain undecided. 'As summer winds down and the campaigns enter the final months, the race for governor has tightened,' Ashley Koning, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, said in a release on the latest poll's findings. 'Sherrill still has the edge, but the important thing to take away here is that the race is competitive and will continue to be in flux, in large part because there are still a notable number of undecideds,' Koning said. The university center's poll last month found Sherrill ahead by a much larger margin of 20 points, which Ciatrarelli's supporters dismissed as inaccurate. 'Likely voters are always an unknown population, but especially given today's political climate, shifting turnout dynamics in the state, and the race's history-making potential, we simply do not know who will definitively turn out come Election Day,' Koning said of the latest findings. 'The only thing for certain is that all eyes are on New Jersey this cycle.' New Jersey and Virginia are the only states that will have gubernatorial elections in November, and both states currently have governors who cannot be reelected because of term limits. Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has been in office since 2018. The Rutgers poll found that there is little willingness from partisans to shift their political alliances this cycle — 85 percent of Democrats who surveyed said they would vote for Sherill, and 81 percent of Republicans saying they would vote for Ciattarelli — but independents remain an unknown outlier ahead of Election Day. 'Independents are always a key voting bloc here in New Jersey,' Koning said. 'Despite recent Republican registration gains, Ciattarelli still needs a substantial share of independents to win in November. Likewise, Sherrill must hold her edge with independents across key areas to cushion against any softness in base turnout.' The Rutgers poll surveyed 1,650 likely New Jersey voters through the probability-based Rutgers-Eagleton/SSRS Garden State Panel from July 31- Aug. 11. The margin of error is 3.7 percentage points.

Another pledge to release Epstein files as Justice faces House subpoena deadline
A massive cache of Jeffrey Epstein files is set to be released to the public after the Justice Department hands them over Friday to a House committee — the latest development in the long-running saga to shed light on the disgraced financier's abuse of underage girls, powerful connections and death in federal custody. The DOJ is expected to turn over its first tranche of Epstein files after being subpoenaed by the House Oversight panel. A committee spokesperson said the files will be made public after sensitive information is redacted. It's unclear what new information will be among the 100,000 pages of files but much of its contents has never been released. 'My guess, from what I've heard from victims, lawyers and others, is 90% [of the files] is still private,' Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California told McClatchy. Khanna sits on the Oversight committee. He and Republican Rep. Tom Massie of Kentucky are leading a bipartisan effort to make the files public. 'I do think there is a lot of new information in there,' Khanna noted. The Miami Herald has examined which documents from years of lawsuits and investigations remain private, including footage from the security cameras in Epstein's residences, information on his two computers and 22 FBI files containing over 500 pages of information about the investigation. Republican Congressman James Comer of Kentucky, the chairman of the Oversight panel, said his staff will conduct a review of the DOJ files as quickly as possible. 'This is sensitive information,' he told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday. 'We want to make sure we don't do anything to harm or jeopardize any victims that were involved in this, but we're going to be transparent. We are doing what we said we would do.' Comer is the latest public official to pledge to release the federal government's voluminous files on Epstein, accused of preying for years on underage girls. President Donald Trump's administration has struggled to put the Epstein issue behind it after his supporters were angry when Attorney General Pam Bondi declined last month to release new information. Friday's handover of files will return Bondi to the spotlight. She has sought to redeem her public image after promising to release explosive documents only to say months into her tenure as attorney general that there was nothing the public would gain from it. She has returned her focus to her law enforcement duties, including leading the administration's effort to crackdown on crime in Washington D.C. Bondi joined Trump at the White House when he announced he was deploying the National Guard in the nation's capital. The president expressed his confidence in her at that event. In the past few weeks, she has traveled around the District of Columbia to meet with guard members, posting photos on social media of her serving them food and petting security dogs. The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment. Pressure from Congress and Judges Meanwhile, lawmakers have taken up the charge when it comes to making the Epstein files public It's unclear what time on Friday the Justice Department files will arrive to the Oversight Committee or how many will be in that first batch. The subpoena was for 'all documents and communications' but it's expected DOJ will need more time to gather all the information. The department already got a three-day delay. The original subpoena had demanded the files on Tuesday. 'We're just going to see what they send us and we'll go from there,' Comer said. Additionally, the House of Representatives will face a vote on the issue when lawmakers return to Washington after Labor Day weekend. Khanna and Massie are co-sponsoring a discharge petition designed to force the release of the Epstein files. The California Democrat said they have enough support from both Republicans and Democrats to get the petition passed within a few weeks of returning to session. He said his goal with making the files public is that 'we need to get it before Thanksgiving, and I think that passing the bill will really help with it.' To keep the public pressure on, Khanna and Massie will host an event with 10 Epstein victims at the Capitol building on Sept. 3. The Trump administration has stayed quiet on the congressional moves. But it received a blow on Wednesday when a federal judge in New York refused to release grand jury transcripts from Epstein's sex-trafficking investigation, the third rejection the Justice Department faced as it tried to satisfy the calls for more information. U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, a Bill Clinton appointee, wrote that he made his decision to withhold the files, in part, because 'the information contained in the Epstein grand jury transcripts pales in comparison to the Epstein investigation information and materials in the hands of the Department of Justice.' He pointed out that DOJ's 100,000 pages of Epstein materials 'dwarf' the roughly 70 pages of grand jury material. He accused Bondi of pushing for the release of grand jury material to cause a 'diversion from the breadth and scope of the Epstein files in the government's possession.' 'The Government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein files,' Berman wrote. 'The grand jury testimony is merely a hearsay snippet of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged conduct.' Bondi, at Trump's direction, requested grand jury transcripts in the cases of Epstein and his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell — convicted on sex-trafficking charges — be released in an attempt to satisfy those who remain outraged over the lack of new information in the case. There is a never-ending list of conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein and questions remain about an Epstein 'client list,' details on how he made his fortune and whether or not he blackmailed powerful officials. In July, the attorney general filed motions in Florida and the Southern District of New York to have the testimony released. Florida swiftly denied the request, with the judge citing the rules of grand jury secrecy — and saying that the government had failed to prove that the release of the material was necessary to address the intense public interest in the case. And, last week, a New York judge ruled against releasing the Maxwell transcripts for a similar reason, saying the information in them didn't merit breaking the secrecy of grand jury proceedings. Epstein died in 2019 in federal custody in New York while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide but it's been subject to countless conspiracy theories that claim he was murdered in order to avoid implicating his rich and powerful friends in any crimes. After stoking suspicions, Bondi's DOJ declared that Epstein had indeed killed himself in a memo announcing that it would not release any further documents. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. She is appealing her case and cooperating with administration. Maxwell was interviewed for two days in Florida last month by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Shortly thereafter she was transferred from federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security women's facility in Texas.

Fatal Florida crash fuels immigration fight between DeSantis and Newsom
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis dispatched his top deputy to California to oversee the handover of a truck driver accused of making an illegal U-turn that killed three people in Florida last week. Sending Florida's new Lt. Gov. Jay Collins underscores Republicans' push to crack down on illegal immigration. It also revs up a political rivalry between DeSantis and California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, both of whom aspire to higher office. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Monday that truck driver Harjinder Singh, a native of India, was in the country illegally. 'Three lives lost because of Gavin Newsom. Because of California's failed policies," Collins said Thursday at a press conference near an airport in Stockton, California. "We're done with that," Collins added, using an expletive. A spokesperson for Newsom described Collins' trip to California as a 'photo op' and criticized Florida officials for letting a 'murder suspect walk.' Collins did not elaborate on why Singh was able to fly to California after the Aug. 12 crash on Florida's Turnpike. U.S. Marshals arrested him Saturday in Stockton. Collins personally escorted Singh onto an airplane Thursday, holding the man's arm as he walked up the steps of the aircraft. Singh was accompanied by four other people, including a man in a jacket that read Police ERO, a reference to Enforcement and Removal Operations, a branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Singh made the illegal turn on the highway about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of West Palm Beach, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. A minivan in the neighboring lane was unable to avoid the truck's trailer and slammed into it, killing the minivan's driver and two passengers. Singh and a passenger in his truck were not injured. Florida authorities said Singh entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico in 2018. According to Homeland Security, Singh obtained a commercial driver's license in California, which is one of 19 states, in addition to the District of Columbia, that issue licenses regardless of immigration status, according to the National Immigration Law Center. Collins said Thursday that Singh never should have been issued a driver's license, calling the move 'unacceptable.' Collins said Singh lacks basic English proficiency and did not know the road signs. Newsom's press office responded on the X platform that Singh obtained a work permit while Donald Trump was president. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin disputed that, saying the federal government denied him a permit during Trump's first term in September 2020 and granted him one in June 2021, under President Joe Biden. A preliminary investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportation found that Washington state issued Singh a regular full-term commercial driver's license in July 2023, a type of license that people without legal status are not eligible for, according to DOT. California then issued Singh a limited-term commercial license a year later. Federal vehicle safety officials are investigating whether the issuance of that license complied with government regulations. Singh is charged with three state counts of vehicular homicide and immigration violations. The federal government has asked that he be transferred to ICE custody after his criminal case is complete. A public defender assigned to Singh's case did not respond to a request for comment. ___ Kate Payne is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.
