  • Washington Rocked by Explosive New Scandals

    Washington Rocked by Explosive New Scandals
    Jul 28 2025
    As summer heats up, so too does the temperature in the halls of power in Washington, D.C. From sex trafficking networks to fresh congressional investigations, the nation’s capital is now gripped by a torrent of scandals that have the potential to shake the foundations of federal governance. Conservative lawmakers are taking aim at systemic corruption, and some are warning that a “deep state” unraveling may soon follow.

    The latest flashpoint centers on the name that won’t go away—Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. While Maxwell continues to serve her 20-year sentence, new speculation about a potential federal pardon—despite no formal action from the Biden administration—has sent shockwaves through Congress.

    Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) responded forcefully: “I think she should have a life sentence,” he said. “We’re talking about trafficking children. That should outrage every American.”
