California congressman and gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell is coming under fire for claims he's acted inappropriately with female staffers ... something he denies, but bailing on a town hall in the aftermath is raising eyebrows.
Several left-leaning influencers have recently made the unsubstantiated allegations, posting statements and videos on social media.
Swalwell's camp told POLITICO the claims are a "false, outrageous rumor" made by "flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists," saying the whole thing is an attempt to tank his gubernatorial run because he's "the frontrunner in this race."
Kamala Harris might take another crack at the Oval Office ... telling Reverend Al Sharpton she's thinking about launching a 2028 candidacy for president.
The former Vice President of the United States spoke at the National Action Network's conference in Manhattan on Friday ... and Sharpton came right out and asked if another run at the White House is in her future.
Melania Trump’s got a loyal voice backing her up ... because a top member of her staff is going to bat for her after her surprise Epstein denial speech to the nation yesterday.
Marc Beckman -- a senior advisor to the First Lady -- came in hot on "Fox & Friends" Friday morning, echoing the First Lady’s stance that she had no close ties to Jeffrey Epstein ... but said he’s over the chatter, firing off a direct message: "Enough is enough."
He didn’t stop there -- Beckman pushed hard for a full pivot, saying the public should be focusing on Melania’s achievements instead of rehashing Epstein rumors ... urging people to be in awe of her impact across the board.
First Lady Melania Trump’s surprise national address from the White House yesterday -- rebutting claims she was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein -- is already getting major pushback from survivors of the late convicted pedophile.
In a sharp statement released Thursday night by Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), a group of survivors firmly declared ... "Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice."
In her speech, Melania urged Congress to hold a public hearing so survivors can testify about Epstein’s crimes ... but "Survivors have done their part," the new statement reads.
President Donald Trump is once again blaming Joe Biden for the ills of society, posting a horrific video showing what 47 says is an "Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti" beating the hell out of a woman with a hammer until she's dead.
Trump posted the grotesque, uncensored 20-second clip on his Truth Social account Thursday with a long message that begins with him crapping all over the 46th President and Congressional Democrats for opening U.S. borders so the Haitian man could allegedly enter the country illegally.
In the video, the woman rushes out of a Florida convenience store after seeing the man smashing a vehicle with a hammer in the parking lot. She yells at him to stop before he approaches her and starts wailing on her head with the hammer, even after she falls limp to the ground.
Some folks at the White House ain't happy about Melania Trump's Thursday statement in which she denied having any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a new report.
A handful of officials were "stunned by the timing" of the First Lady's remarks, according to a Thursday tweet from CNN Senior White House Correspondent Kristen Holmes.
Some White House officials were stunned by the timing of the First Lady's remarks, which sparked rumors that she was trying to get out ahead of something.

She explained ... "One official said there was disagreement among those close to Melania Trump as to whether or not to go through with the remarks, given that the story had died down." But, the source noted Melania saw the stories still circulating and "wanted to go on the record with a firm denial."
Trump claims the group has been "fighting" him for years, and says he knows exactly why ... accusing them of pushing views he says are soft on Iran and completely out of step with his MAGA base.
With his signature flair, POTUS calls them "low IQs," "stupid people," and "losers," insisting they've all been booted from major platforms and are now clinging to relevance through what he dubs "third-rate podcasts."
In an unexpected national address from the White House Thursday,Melania Trump announced she never had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein ... alleging bad actors are attempting to ruin her reputation.
The First Lady of the United States spoke to the nation on camera from the White House moments ago ... saying she was never friends with the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender -- and said she and President Donald Trump were simply invited to some of the same parties. She said she had no knowledge of any of Epstein's crimes.
She said, "To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice [Ghislaine] Maxwell" ... adding an email she sent Maxwell can only be seen as a polite reply.
Oh, how the tables have turned ... instead of young immigrants, now Donald Trump's own children might be thrown into a cage for a change ...Hunter Biden just posted a video saying he wants a piece of DT's sons, Ericand Donald Jr.

Lauren Conrad might not be fond of Spencer Pratt ... but he swears she'd vote for him if she saw the s****y conditions in Los Angeles!
Pratt responded to Conrad avoiding the question of whether she'd vote for him for mayor on "Today" -- she simply stated she's not a resident of L.A. since she lives in Orange County, without giving her opinion on his political aspirations -- by claiming she'd "vote for me if she lived in LA and her kids had to walk over fentanyl zombies and human poop on their way to school."
We're not so convinced ... Conrad gave Kristin Cavallari a hard stare after she said, "I will always have a soft spot for Spencer. I think he's great" -- and she also told hosts Jenna BushHagerand Sheinelle Jones they were "asking me about people I haven’t spoken to in decades."
Mia Khalifa spoke out with intense emotion after deadly strikes hit her home country of Lebanon this week, calling the U.S. and Israel terrorist nations.

Watch the clip ... the retired porn star calls the situation "dystopian," pointing out the contrast between space exploration ambitions and what she described as destruction happening on the ground.
Ivanka Trump was soaking up the magic at Disneyland Paris … just as her father, President Donald Trump, threatened to kill off Iran's "whole civilization."

Here's the deal ... The Free Press put out a report earlier this week -- citing unnamed Vatican officials -- about a January meeting between U.S. Department of War officials and Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S. at the time.
Officials at the time allegedly told Pierre the Catholic Church should get on board with the Trump administration's war tactics.
Dan Bilzerian's standing by his very public assertion his opponent for a seat in Congress is a "fat Jew" ... and, yet, he's simultaneously insisting he's not antisemitic. Yeah, buckle up for this!
The former "King of Instagram" is running for U.S. Congress against Rep. Randy Fine in Florida's 6th Congressional District, and hurled the derogatory phrase on social media ... after Rep. Fine blasted a dude for putting up "missing" posters of Adolf Hitler.
We gave him the chance to explain himself Wednesday on "TMZ Live" ... and, while at first Bilzerian talked about his opposition to the nation of Israel, Harvey and Charles asked him specifically about the post on X.
Kristi Noem may have gotten the boot from the White House ... but her swanky private jet didn't!
According toWall Street Journal, the TrumpAdministration will be keeping the $70M aircraft she leased during her time as Department of Homeland Security Secretary.
Officials familiar with the matter told WSJ that Melania Trump's office will have access to the insanely lavish jet -- which is much fancier than most government planes -- as will select Cabinet secretaries.
The plane reportedly has a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, 4 flat-screen TVs and a bar ... making it nicer than Air Force Two, which just has a pullout couch bed.
President Donald Trump just announced a 2-week ceasefire with Iran, just an hour before his self-imposed deadline of bombing the country back to the "stone ages."
In a post on Truth Social, Trump writes ... "Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!"
