House committee issues subpoenas for Epstein files
Several of America's top political leaders have been issued subpoenas to testify about the 'horrific crimes' perpetrated by former financier and convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued deposition subpoenas on Tuesday to several former Trump-era Department of Justice officials, as well as historical Democrat power players. Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton have been called to appear before the Committee in October. Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, who served under President Trump during his first term, are among the Republicans who have been subpoenaed for testimony. Chairman Comer also issued a subpoena to the current Trump-led U.S. Department of Justice for records related to Epstein. It's a spectacular move by Republicans to pressure Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi to put out more documents as the administration has been embroiled in controversy over Epstein 'cover-up' claims. Bondi has been blamed by both Democrats and Republicans for stalling the release of the files. House Republicans voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for testimony about Jeffrey Epstein on July 23rd. A motion from Rep. Scott Perry to have Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., solicit the former first couple's testimony passed Wednesday afternoon amid a flurry of new developments around the saga that's consumed Washington. The effort also called for other high-profile Democrats with expected ties to the late sexual offender to be subpoenaed. Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Merrick Garland will also be compelled to testify. So will former special counsel Robert Mueller, who oversaw Trump's Russia collusion case. The full list of officials called to appear before House Oversight also includes Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland , and Former FBI Director James Comey. But Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony before Congress has been postponed pending her Supreme Court case. Maxwell had been in talks with the Trump administration and Congress about dishing on the disgraced financier and his relationships. The push for additional Epstein-related testimony comes amid heightened media scrutiny over the sexual offender's unreleased Department of Justice and FBI files. A federal judge last Wednesday denied the Trump administration's request to release the highly-secretive grand jury testimony from the Jeffrey Epstein case. Obama-appointed Judge Robin Rosenberg slapped down the request from Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal proceedings related to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The House Oversight Committee also announced last week that it had issued a subpoena to interview Maxwell at her Florida prison facility. Maxwell's attorney had not yet agreed to the committee's terms for an interview but indicated an interview was possible. Chairman Comer announced last week that Maxwell was set to testify before the panel on August 11 at the Tallahassee facility where she is serving her prison sentence.

Study reveals what most people think of as a high amount of sexual partners
Britons think 20 or more sexual partners is a lot a new YouGov survey has revealed. The stats come as part of a wider poll looking at modern society's sexual histories and habits and it has revealed the UK as being a surprisingly chaste nation. The average Briton claims to have only had sex with four people in their lifetime. Researchers at YouGov asked the respondents what they considered to be a 'small and large lifetime numbers of sexual partners'. Sharing the findings on X, they revealed that the majority of people see 20 or more sexual partners as a 'large' amount. Similarly, 15 or more people was seen as large by 41 per cent. People who had slept with 0-4 or 5 people were seen as having a 'small' number by the majority of those polled, and 6 to fourteen sexual partners were seen as having neither a 'small' or 'large' number. The researchers added that, unsurprisingly, people's idea of large or small is skewed by their own sexual history. The study explained: 'Whether Britons regard a number of sexual partners as large or small depends on how many people they themselves have slept with. 'At an overall level, the attitudes of men and women are effectively the same across the range. 'However, the generations do take differing views, with young people being the quickest to start saying that a number of sexual partners is "high". 'This is not necessarily surprising – the older someone is, the more chances to have sexual encounters they have had, and it is probably fair to assume that respondents are basing their answers on the tally of a person about the same age as them.' For instance, 44 per cent of people who have had one sexual partner in their life sees 10 or more partners as a 'large' number, with 27 per cent of people with four sexual partners saying the same. Meanwhile, eight per cent of people who have slept with ten to 14 people, and three per cent of people with 25 or more partners deem ten partners to be a 'large' number. Interestingly, the study found that young men and old women were notably more likely than their counterparts to consider a given number to represent a 'large number' of lifetime sexual partners. In June, a study found that women who have sex at least once a week are the 'happiest' in their relationship. While Bonnie Blue is famous for having sex with 1,000 men in a day, the average Briton has only slept with 4 people in their life So what do Britons consider to be small and large lifetime numbers of sexual partners? 0-4 people - majority see as small 5 people - 48% small / 40%… — YouGov (@YouGov) August 4, 2025 Scientists found 85 per cent of women who had sex once a week described themselves as 'sexually satisfied', according to a study of nearly 500 heterosexual women. In contrast, only 66 per cent of wives and girlfriends who had sex once a month reported the same level of relationship bliss. And the figure fell to 17 per cent among those women who had intercourse less than this. Author of the new study Alexandra Janssen, a researcher at the University Of Manchester, said the findings show the importance of regular intimate relations. She told the Daily Mail: 'While the study shows an association between frequency of sex and sexual relationship satisfaction, this is only a correlation. 'We don't know whether women are happier because they are having more sex, if they are having more sex because they are happier, or if they are happier and having more sex because of other factors-perhaps they don't have kids. 'Also, the fact that women who have less sex are also less satisfied in their relationship isn't particularly surprising.'

Trump claims he had nothing to do with Bondi's grand jury order
Donald Trump celebrated his Justice Department convening a grand jury in cases against officials from Barack Obama 's administration. The president said while he wasn't involved in the decision, he is 'happy' that Attorney General Pam Bondi decided to act this week on the criminal referrals from the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. It's not yet clear which U.S. attorney the DOJ directed to bring the case and convene a grand jury, or which former Obama officials are being targeted. A source familiar with the action, however, speculated to the Daily Mail that the criminal referrals Bondi is acting on are likely for ex-CIA Directors John Brennan and former James Comey. 'They deserve it,' Trump told CNBC Squawk Box host Joe Kernen during a Tuesday morning interview. 'I was happy to hear it.' The victory lap comes after Bondi revealed on Monday that she signed an order directing an unnamed prosecutor to convene a grand jury in the revelations over the inception of the Russia collusion investigation. Gabbard submitted criminal referrals to the Justice Department last month for former Obama and his officials, including Brennan and former DNI Chief James Clapper. She unveiled evidence claiming that Obama and his team illegally conspired in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election to link Donald Trump to Russian efforts to interfere in the campaigns. Some thought Gabbard's release of documents was a tactic to distract from the botched Jeffrey Epstein files review, which has the DOJ reeling with calls for Bondi to resign. The new grand jury directive from Bondi also follows FBI Director Kash Patel discovering last month a stash of bags in a secret room at the bureau with damning documents related to the Russia investigation that were meant to be burned. The documents were published by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and consist of the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's final report on the origins of the FBI investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign. Bondi's move on Monday is an escalation that takes President Trump's administration a massive step closer to criminally charging Obama and his former administration officials. 'Pam is doing a great job. I had nothing to do with it,' Trump said to CNBC on Tuesday when asked if he was the one who called for Bondi to act on the referrals. 'I actually read it, just like you did,' he added. Trump lamented to Squawk Box host Kernen that the Durham report annex should have been released earlier. He blamed his former Attorney General Bill Barr for dragging his feet on getting to the bottom of election interference investigations. The president said this allowed former President Joe Biden to take over and his team to 'bury' the revelations. While serving as special counsel, Durham examined the FBI's investigation into potential links between Trump campaign officials and Russia during the 2016 election. He concluded the FBI did not have sufficient evidence to launch the investigation at the time.

Delta flight endured over six hours on Georgia tarmac
Passengers aboard a cross-country Delta flight endured over six grueling hours trapped on a Georgia tarmac with no functioning toilets onboard. A flight bound for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was suddenly diverted to Augusta Regional Airport on Friday due to the heavy rain and severe thunderstorms that swept across the state the day before, WSB-TV 2 News reported . But instead of their journey ending upon landing, travelers found themselves stranded on the runway for hours, unable to leave. 'A disheveled mess to say the least,' Pat McCormack , a passenger on the flight, told the outlet. 'There was no water on the plane,' he added. 'The toilets weren't working.' After nearly seven hours sitting motionless on the ground, passengers were finally allowed to disembark. However, with no plan in place, they were unprepared for the unexpected landing at Augusta - and only one person was available to answer their questions about what to do next. To request reimbursement, travelers must complete a form using the information the airline emailed to them. But even after submitting the form, McCormack said he received only a $200 SkyMiles credit - a settlement he considers inadequate for the chaotic ordeal. Delta has made headlines in recent months for a series of unusual travel mishaps - including a recent incident where an employee filmed a sexual video of himself on a child's Peppa Pig iPad he found left on a plane in New York City. The unidentified man was seen [expletive] in a video that was uploaded to the iCloud account attached to one of Brooke and Tony Brewer's children's iPads, a complaint viewed by Daily Mail revealed. The man was seen fondling his [expletive] while wearing a lanyard that contained a red Delta ribbon and making facial expressions at the camera, screenshots of the video in the complaint showed. He also allegedly attempted to access the iPad's iTunes account and reportedly hacked into the family's Amazon account, creating a profile named '[expletive].' On July 30, passengers on a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam feared for their lives as the plane suddenly dropped more than 1,500 feet before making an emergency landing . At least 25 people were injured as Delta flight 56 was diverted to Minneapolis/St. Paul International airport just two hours into its eight-hour journey. Delta confirmed in a statement that severe turbulence rocked the aircraft, with witnesses describing how its impact threw people into the air as beverage carts crashed around inside the cabin. Data from flight tracking site FlightAware showed that the plane plummeted over 1,600 feet in an 85 second span, with passengers saying that there 'was a moment where we thought we were going down.' The flight then continued for over an hour after the terrifying drop before landing safely. Last month, Delta sparked an internet uproar after allegedly cancelling a flight from Florida due to 'ice on the runway' as temperatures neared 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The bizarre situation emerged when a woman headed from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) was alerted her flight had been pushed back an entire day. She then reached out to the airline to ask about getting a reimbursement for her hotel room that night. Her request was denied because the cancelation was 'weather related,' according to a Reddit post shared by the flier's cousin after the fact. A Delta agent told the customer the flight was called off 'due to a deicing situation, which means the runway was too slippery' for takeoff, as shown in a message exchange. This 'deicing situation' was pertaining to the runway in Orlando - where the heat was scorching. In response to the claim, the customer said: 'It is 95 degrees in Orlando and 84 degrees in New York City.' According to AirAdvisor , airlines in the US do not have to financially help their passengers when a flight gets cancelled because of the weather. They are only required to either rebook the flight or provide a full ticket refund. Delta has since emailed affected passengers with details on compensation and reimbursement.
