Deep dives
Deadly Terrorist Attack at Iran Memorial
A memorial for Iranian General Qasem Soleimani turned deadly when two bombs were detonated. Over 100 people were killed and many more injured. While the perpetrators are still unknown, some officials have blamed the US or Israel, though both nations deny involvement. This attack escalates tensions in the already volatile Middle East region. Soleimani was a highly regarded figure in Iran, known for his involvement in building up terror groups and his anti-Western stance.
Delegation of Congressmen Visit Southern Border
A delegation of over 60 congressmen visited the US-Mexico border to witness the increasing number of illegal crossings. They urged President Biden to reinstate the remain in Mexico policy, which required migrants to remain on the Mexican side of the border until their asylum court dates. Pressure is mounting on the Biden administration to address the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants and secure the southern border. Some Republicans even threatened to withhold funding for the federal government if action is not taken.
Jeffrey Epstein Court Documents Unsealed
Sealed court documents containing the names of 150 people associated with Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophile and billionaire, have been released. The documents reveal the names of prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton. While the documents do not prove guilt, they shed light on Epstein's extensive network and his connections to influential individuals. The release of these documents has sparked renewed interest in the Epstein case and raised questions about the actions and associations of those involved.
More than 100 dead after two explosions at commemoration for a slain Iranian general, delegation of more than 60 Congressmen visit the southern border, and the release of the Jeffrey Epstein court documents has begun. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
