The group, from World Without Exploitation, confronted Bondi during a February 11 House Judiciary Committee hearing over the Justice Department's handling of Epstein files released under the 2025 Transparency Act. All were adults at the time of their alleged encounters—Jess Michaels at 22 in 1991, Teresa Helm at 22 in 2002, and others aged 21-23—yet they've received settlements from Epstein's estate and banks like JPMorgan. Critics like journalist Michael Tracey note this distinction from confirmed underage victims, while supporters stress grooming and coercion can affect adults too, amid ongoing calls for full disclosure of over 3.5 million pages.

Full Summary

Virgil van Dijk headed Liverpool into a 1-0 lead at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, assisted by Mohamed Salah, but Gakpo drew sharp criticism for wasteful play alongside Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Supporters called him a 'one-trick pony' who always shoots rather than crosses, questioning his £200,000-£250,000 weekly salary and pleading for a substitution like Curtis Jones. While one fan noted it was his best game in weeks, the backlash grows as Arne Slot's side clings to the lead against resurgent Sunderland, amid Liverpool's recent away struggles.

Key Takeaway

Cody Gakpo started strong on the left wing, winning the ball back, but his predictable cuts inside quickly turned the traveling Liverpool fans against him.

Brentford owner Matthew Benham's data-driven approach builds up inexperienced managers like Frank, who promoted the club in 2021 on tight budgets before leaving for Spurs in a £6.7m deal last June. Eight months later, on February 11, Tottenham fired him with the team in 16th place, five points from relegation. Meanwhile, set-piece coach Keith Andrews, with no prior senior experience, has Brentford in seventh after 25 games, chasing their best-ever finish under the same analytics model that scouts undervalued talent and sticks to a fixed philosophy.
