Rudy Giuliani reveals 'real reason' evidence in Epstein files hasn't been fully released
has revealed what he believes is the 'real reason' the evidence in the Jeffrey Epstein case hasn't yet been fully released. In an interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, the former New York Mayor claimed that crucial evidence in the files is being deliberately withheld due to fears it could have devastating consequences for America's national security and foreign policy. Giuliani suggested that authorities are 'struggling' with releasing the sensitive material because it involves information that could damage relationships with US allies and compromise critical intelligence operations. 'I think it still exists on Epstein... I think we are going to see it,' he said. 'And I think they're struggling with - I really do believe that,' he added. 'I think it probably involves something that could have big implications on our national security, foreign policy, allies.' The 81-year-old former federal prosecutor warned that whatever is being concealed must be 'something very, very sensitive' to warrant such extreme secrecy. He also made claims about how Jeffrey Epstein could have been killed while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. In an interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, the former New York Mayor claimed that crucial evidence in the files still exist but is being deliberately withheld due to fears it could have devastating consequences for America's national security and foreign policy When Johnson asked directly how someone could be murdered in such a high-security facility, Giuliani laid out how he would do it. 'I think the easiest way to do it is to make sure you're going to use something that doesn't show up in the blood, end up sedating him and then hanging him,' he said. 'You could hang them easily. You can hang them anyplace - with the help of one or two people.' He also emphasized the disputes among medical examiners about whether Epstein actually died by suicide. 'There's even dispute by the outside medical examiner as to whether he was actually hanged,' Giuliani said. Giuliani argued that authorities should be more transparent about the case overall. 'There are more questions than there are answers,' he said. 'There shouldn't be that way.' 'There should be more answers and questions and and with the two of them saying that, I assume there are answers, but we're just not getting them.' His comments come as pressure continues to mount for the full release of documents related to the former financier's vast network of powerful connections, following his controversial death in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019. Last week, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stunned MAGA conspiracy theorists as he gave his verdict on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death. Bongino and his superior, FBI Director Kash Patel, sat down with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo to deny claims that Epstein was somehow killed inside New York City's infamous Metropolitan Correctional Center. On the program, Bartiromo asked Patel about the ongoing skepticism surrounding Epstein's death. You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide,' she said. 'People don't believe it.' Patel then said that everyone has a 'right to their opinion.' 'But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing - You know a suicide when you see one,' he replied. 'He killed himself... I've seen the whole file. He killed himself,' the deputy director insisted. He later reiterated his bombshell assertion on X for anyone who had not seen the interview. 'I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There's no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise,' Bongino wrote. 'I'm not asking you to believe me or not, I'm telling you what exists and what doesn't.' 'If new evidence surfaces, I'm happy to re-evaluate,' he vowed. The assertion marked a U-turn for Bongino, who has previously spread his own conspiracy theories about Epstein's untimely passing.

Saudis use burgers to impress Trump (VIDEO)
Saudi Arabia has rolled out a mobile McDonald's truck outside the Royal Court ahead of US President Donald Trump's arrival in Riyadh – a nod to his well-known love for the Golden Arches. Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for his first major foreign trip after returning to the White House. While in Riyadh, he signed a 'strategic economic partnership' deal, which would see the Saudis investing some to $600 billion in the energy, defense, mining, and space sectors in the US. A short video of a McDonald's double-decker trailer parked outside a media hub called 'Media Oasis' – where journalists covering Trump's visit to Riyadh were stationed – was posted on social media earlier in the day. Conservative journalist Benny Johnson, who was among those sharing the clip, wrote that 'Saudi Arabia brought in a mobile McDonald's for President Trump on his visit.' Some online commentators described the move by the Saudis as 'a charming gesture' and 'an ultimate sign of hospitality.' But the most frequent comment was: 'I'm Lovin' It.' Saudi Arabia brought in a mobile McDonald's for President Trump on his visit. A White House official confirmed to Fox News that there really was a McDonald's truck in Riyadh during Trump's visit. However, there have so far been no reports of the US leader stopping for a meal there. Trump once said in an interview that 'the Big Macs are great. The Quarter Pounder. It is great stuff,' while his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski claimed in his book 'Let Trump Be Trump' that his typical diet during the race for the White House in 2016 included: '...two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malt.' During his first term, Trump ordered burgers for the national college football champions the Clemson Tigers, who visited the White House. According to his son-in-law Jared Kushner, the president also asked for McDonald's after his recovery from COVID-19 in 2020. Last year, he worked at a fryer and handed out food through the drive-thru window at a McDonald's joint in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The company issued a statement afterwards, saying that it did not give permission for Trump to hold the campaign event at its restaurant. 'McDonald's does not endorse candidates for elected office… We are not red or blue – we are golden,' it read.

Saudis deploy mobile McDonald's for Trump's trip to the kingdom
Saudi Arabia rolled out a mobile and operational McDonald's truck for President Donald Trump's first visit to the nation since his inauguration in January, Fox News Digital found. A White House official confirmed that a mobile McDonald's food truck was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during Trump's visit. Images and video of the truck spread like wildfire on social media Tuesday morning, which marked Trump's first day in the Middle East. "Saudi Arabia brought in a mobile McDonald's for President Trump on his visit," popular conservative social media commentator Benny Johnson posted on X, accompanied by footage showing the massive mobile McDonald's. Other accounts on X asked, "how's this real life?" or remarked that the scene of a truck holding Trump's beloved fast-food was "incredible." Trump's love of McDonald's has long been documented. The president served a buffet of fast-food options when he welcomed national college football champions the Clemson Tigers to the White House in 2019. He also requested McDonald's following his COVID-19 diagnosis and recovery in 2020, according to his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. And anecdotes from his former bodyguard say Trump enjoyed Egg McMuffins for breakfast during the 2016 campaign. Trump's love of the fast-food staple was underscored during the 2024 campaign cycle, when he donned a McDonald's apron and worked the fryer at a location in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. "Hello, everybody. It's my first day at McDonald's. I'm looking for a job," Trump said as he entered the McDonald's location in Feasterville-Trevose, which is located near Philadelphia, in October 2024. Trump also worked the drive-thru window during his McDonald's shift, greeting customers and vowing that he would make the U.S. "better than ever" if re-elected to the Oval Office. Trump arrived in Riyadh early Tuesday morning, with the nation sending fighter jet escorts to welcome Air Force One to the ground and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeting Trump on the tarmac that was adorned with a lavender-colored carpet. "Air Force One about to go wheels down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with Saudi F-15 fighter jets bringing us in. On behalf of President Trump, THANK YOU!" White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted on X while sharing a video of jets flying alongside the U.S. president's plane. Trump's trip included the president signing a "strategic economic partnership" with the country for energy, defense, mining and space-based agreements that amount to $600 billion. Trump said the deal could lead to the creation of 2 million jobs in the U.S.

GOP Senator Plans Hearings On 9/11 To Find Out 'What Actually Happened'
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) plans to launch hearings into 'what actually happened' in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack, adding another conspiracy theory to his portfolio. (Watch the video below.) A spokesperson for the right-wing lawmaker, who's chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Politico that he is gathering information to sustain a probe in Congress focusing on the collapse of World Trade Center 7, a smaller skyscraper in the complex. This would be the same public servant who insisted the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol riot has been mired in a cover-up and peddled a very much debunked conspiracy theory that the COVID-19 vaccine caused a spike in athletes 'dropping dead on the field.' On conservative host Benny Johnson's show Monday, the senator resurrected a debunked assertion that a building in the center that was not among the twin towers directly hit by terrorist-commandeered passenger jets could not have collapsed on its own and was felled by a 'controlled demolition.' Meaning it was perhaps an inside or government job. Johnson called a report determining that World Trade Center 7 caved in due to fires 'corrupt.' 'My eyes have been opened up,' he added. 'Hopefully now with this administration, I think President Trump should have some interests — being a New Yorker himself — what actually happened on 9/11,' he said. 'What do we know. What is being covered up. My guess is there's an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9/11.' Senator Ron Johnson drops BOMBSHELL:Tells us that 9/11 Hearings are being planned, Building 7 was potentially a "Controlled Demolition"'Structural Engineers say that thing didn't come down in any other way than controlled demolition. Molten steel. Destruction of evidence. We… — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) April 21, 2025 The timing of the hearings would be reliant on the evidence gathered, the Johnson spokesperson told Politico.

Ron Johnson Goes Full 9/11 Truther in Deranged Rant
Senator Ron Johnson may now be a 9/11 truther. The Republican and senior senator representing Wisconsin told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson on the latter's podcast Monday that he has questions about the official story of the September 11, 2001, attacks. Specifically, the senator echoed a conspiracy theory about the collapse of Building 7, suggesting that the building on the World Trade Center complex fell as the result of a controlled demolition and attacking the National Institute of Standards and Technology's investigation into the collapse. 'I don't know that you can find structural engineers other than the ones that had the corrupt investigation inside NIST that would say that thing didn't come down in any other way than a controlled demolition,' the senator said. 'Within these agencies, a lot of them are going to cover their tracks and cover things up and destroy a lot of evidence,' the senator noted, alleging a government cover-up. 'It's gonna be very frustrating for the American public because this is their information. They deserve the truth. It's been hidden from them way too long.' The senator said he expects there to soon be congressional hearings on the attacks, and praised the podcaster for 'opening up the aperture on 9/11.' 'I know you and I are both considered conspiracy theorists, but that's exactly how they keep this stuff covered up,' the senator said. The senator was narrowly reelected in 2022, facing a tough Democratic challenger in Mandela Barnes, then Wisconsin's lieutenant governor, but this isn't the first time he has embraced an unfounded conspiracy. He embraced and even assisted Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, claiming that Democrats used fake electors, in a classic case of projection. He also downplayed the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, calling the rioters 'people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law.' As a senator of a battleground state whose Senate term is up in 2028, the same year as Trump, Johnson may want to watch his words, lest he be ousted.
