Bill and Hillary Clinton -- and nearly a dozen other former feds and politicians -- have been subpoenaed for depositions by a Congressional committee ... all in connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, announced Hillary will testify on October 9, followed by Bill on October 14. Comer also issued a subpoena to the DOJ for any Epstein-related records.

There are plenty of other high-profile names set to testify in the coming weeks ... including former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, as well as former U.S. Attorneys General Merrick Garland and Bill Barr.

Former NFL running back LeShon Johnson was convicted on six felony charges for his role in a dog-fighting operation ... in what is being considered one of the biggest busts in U.S. history.

The United States Department of Justice said on Monday that an Oklahoma federal jury found Johnson, 54, guilty of six felonies -- violating the federal Animal Welfare Act’s prohibitions against possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals to be used in fights.

This stems from Johnson's arrest in March, when authorities discovered 190 "pit bull-type dogs" on his property during an operation, "Mal Kant Kennels." It's the largest number ever seized from a single individual in a federal dog-fighting case.

President Trump would hit a home run if he were to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs a pardon for his prostitution conviction ... at least according to Mark Geragos.

The famed defense attorney was flying out of LAX on Monday when a photog asked him about a potential Trump pardon for Diddy.

The small town of Anaconda, Montana, was rocked to its core on August 1, 2025, when a gunman entered The Owl Bar and opened fire, killing several people.

Local authorities have since identified the suspect as Michael Paul Brown, who fled the scene of the crime and is believed to be hiding from the law.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspected gunman and see what authorities have done in the wake of the shooting.

Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, where he was apparently a regular, served in the U.S. Army for several years, and he departed the armed forces with the rank of sergeant in 2009, according to NBC News.

The murder suspect served as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005, was deployed to Iraq for just over a year, leaving in March 2005, and he was part of the Montana National Guard from April 2006 until March 2009.

Montana bar owner Shane Charles said Brown had dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as "mental health problems," and described the veteran as "a great guy when he was on his meds."

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said the murder suspect has a criminal record.

Authorities allege Brown entered The Owl Bar at around 10:30 AM Mountain Time and opened fire with a rifle, then fled the scene in a white pickup truck.

Three patrons and a bartender, ranging in age from 59 to 74, were shot and killed ... Knudsen said the suspect "likely" knew the victims of the attack.

Brown then allegedly got rid of his clothing and other belongings before getting new clothing from a stolen vehicle that contained camping equipment.

Local authorities later released a photo showing the suspect apparently leaving the scene of the incident, dressed only in a pair of boxers, taken before he switched vehicles.

Authorities later located the vehicle Brown ... and Knudsen expressed he was "very likely up in the mountains, hiding in the timber, in the cover somewhere."

Several agencies are searching for the suspect, and a $7,500 reward has been offered by the U.S Marshals Service for any information that could lead to his arrest, according to USA Today.

Residents of Anaconda and surrounding communities were initially advised to stay inside and remain on alert, according to The Associated Press.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Gina pens a letter to the judge in Diddy's criminal case ... supporting Diddy's motion for bail.

Gina says she's known Diddy for years and that she's mostly seen him as a father, family man and business man ... not a criminal.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is firing back at federal prosecutors who want to keep him locked up at least another two months ... he says they're hellbent on punishing him for hiring adult male prostitutes and paying them handsomely to bang his girlfriends.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's legal team rips the feds ... claiming prosecutors are unfairly targeting him as they have throughout a "misplaced investigation"

Diddy's camp comes out firing ... "Impervious to the jury’s verdict, the government proceeds as though Combs was not acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, along with all the racketeering acts with which he was charged and found not guilty."

Soulja Boy was arrested after police say they found a firearm during a traffic stop … TMZ has confirmed.

Bryan Kohberger may have used more than one weapon during the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, according to Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson.

In an interview with the Idaho Statesman, Thompson said some of Kaylee Goncalves' injuries didn't appear to be from the same knife used in the attack. "I don't think we can exclude the possibility that there was an additional weapon involved," the prosecutor said.

Court documents revealed Goncalves suffered over 20 stab wounds and blunt-force trauma. Thompson also believes Kohberger spared the surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen after panicking.

Video from Wednesday's bust shows Andrew James McGann, 28, driving up to the shop in Springdale, Ark., jumping out of his car and walking through the entrance. McGann then sits down in a barber chair and starts chatting with the stylist about how he wants his hair done.

The video then jumps forward to show several plainclothes officers putting McGann in cuffs while he's still wearing a salon cape. Clearly, the cops nabbed him as his thick head of hair was getting snipped.

Federal prosecutors in the Diddy case are hitting back at the music mogul -- calling BS on him downplaying his convictions for transporting male escorts across state lines, and say there's legal precedent for the judge to deny him bail.

In court docs filed Thursday -- obtained by TMZ -- prosecutors laid out their reasons for why Diddy should remain behind bars as he awaits his sentencing, following his conviction on 2 counts of violating the Mann Act. As you know, Diddy was acquitted of the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

On Wednesday, Diddy filed docs asking Judge Arun Subramanian to overturn his Mann Act conviction, arguing the crime involves the transport of people across state lines for the purposes of sex ... which Diddy denies doing.

Pennsylvania state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle want to band together and close a legal loophole that allows child predators to become parents through surrogacy.

The issue has come under the spotlight after convicted child sex offender Brandon Keith Mitchell went viral for legally bringing a baby boy into his home through a surrogate mother he and his husband found.

Pennsylvania State Representative Aaron Bernstine is planning to introduce new legislation that would close the loophole and bar sex offenders from obtaining children through surrogacy. They can't do so through adoption or foster care but surrogacy is not in the law as currently written.
