President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he was planning to sue Michael Wolff, claiming that the author had been “conspiring” with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to damage his reputation. Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, saying that he was also considering a potential lawsuit against the Epstein estate on the same grounds. WATCH: Trump: Jeffrey Epstein, Wolff Conspired To Get Me “It looked like this guy Wolff…was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me … We’ll probably sue Wolff for that. And maybe the Epstein estate.” https://t.co/TyCHfD76n7 pic.twitter.com/yghdfKqDgy — Mr Producer (@RichSementa) February 1, 2026 One reporter asked Trump about the latest trove of files released relating to Epstein,  asking whether he believed his critics would be “satisfied” with the information that had come out. “Well, they should be, because it looked like this guy Wolff, who’s a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me,” Trump began. “And I didn’t see it myself, but I was told be some very important people that — not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left — that Wolff was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me, politically or otherwise, and that came through loud and clear.” “We’ll probably sue Wolff for that. And maybe the Epstein estate, I guess, I don’t know,” he added. “We’re going to certainly sue Wolff.” One of the reporters pressed him again on the possibility that he would also sue the Epstein estate, and and Trump continued, “Well … I guess so, because he was conspiring with Wolff to do harm to me politically.” The latest batch of documents, released Friday, included some three million documents — along with thousands of videos and photos. Among them were a number of emails between Epstein and “the Duke,” who is believed to be Prince Andrew, the Duke of York — and a list of allegations against President Trump that were compiled by the FBI. The Justice Department has said in a statement that none of those allegations were considered to be “credible.” “Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already.”

'Legitimately the most unhinged ruling'

Epstein repeatedly attempted to arrange meetings and travel with Musk

LIGONIER, Pennsylvania—All that remained of Ruthie’s Diner on Jan. 21 was charred, ice-encased rubble—the aftermath of firefighters’ desperate efforts to extinguish the blaze that ultimately consumed the modest eatery, which for more than 70 years had served locals and the travelers, anglers, and hunters heading east along the Lincoln Highway. Several locals pulled into the parking lot and simply stared, at a loss for words as they watched a community mainstay reduced to charred ruins, thin smoke still rising from the ashes. Ruthie’s was the kind of place where everyone felt familiar, whether you’d been in last week, last month, or only when hunting and fishing season came around. It was where my parents took me, and where I later took my children and grandchildren. For anyone who walked through those doors, it felt like home: comforting, unpretentious, and powerful in its simplicity. It was the kind of place that served chicken-fried steak smothered in gravy, their version of peas and carrots succotash, and a pile of french fries unlike any other. Outside of the mile-high pies, it was the french fries that everyone loved. LIGONIER, Pennsylvania — All that remained of Ruthie’s Diner on Wednesday morning was charred, ice-encased rubble — the aftermath of firefighters’ desperate efforts to extinguish the blaze that ultimately consumed the modest eatery, which for more than 70 years had served locals… pic.twitter.com/2ndFYHLjCR— ZitoSalena (@ZitoSalena) January 22, 2026 Originally known as Burnsy’s Diner in the 1950s and ’60s, it was so rooted in the community that it even sponsored its own bowling team in the Ligonier Valley league and was famous for staying open 24 hours a day. Every time I went, I met not just locals but hunters and anglers on their way to cabins, Pittsburgh families headed for the Flight 93 National Memorial or Idlewild, and neighbors gathering after Sunday services at one of the many churches that dot this Westmoreland County village. Now Ruthie’s joins that painful category of “used to be” places that linger in the memory long after they’re gone. And this wasn’t the familiar story of neglect or empty tables slowly choking the life out of a business, which does not make the loss hurt any less. In bigger, more transient places, a loss like this barely registers. But here, the loss of Ruthie’s lands like a gut punch, largely because the people who filled its booths weren’t passing through; they were planted. Most Americans, for example, still live close to where they grew up. A U.S. Census Bureau study found that by age 26, nearly 60% live within 10 miles of their childhood home, and 80% within 100 miles. That kind of rootedness rarely shows up in the way news is framed, which too often reflects the worldview of the rootless, the people who dominate the power structures of legacy media. They tend to live in the “super ZIP codes” of Washington, D.C., and New York, the centers of wealth and power, and their assumptions end up shaping the national story the rest of us are handed. Why does that matter when it comes to Ruthie’s? Because people who live unrooted lives, not always, but often, are less able to grasp what’s really lost when a place like this disappears. This wasn’t just the closing of a diner. It was the loss of a room that held whole chapters of life, dinners with grandparents who are gone now, late-night meals with high school friends, the familiar booth you could still return to instead of relegating all of it to memory. Those attachments aren’t sentimental clutter. They’re part of emotional well-being. There’s real power in being able to revisit the places that shaped you—and in being able to bring your children and grandchildren into them, so the story becomes something shared, not just remembered. Ruthie’s wasn’t just stitched into the social fabric of this area; it was part of American roadside culture. It opened long before the Pennsylvania Turnpike existed, back when the Lincoln Highway carried travelers from one end of the state to the other, and sometimes from one end of the country to the other. And it endured. It survived the turnpike siphoning away business as cars sped past the exit. It resisted the pull of homogenized chain-restaurant menus, and the even worse temptation of food fads, holding fast instead to the same personal touch through every shift in America’s driving and dining habits. The social cohesion that Ruthie’s gave everyone who passed through her doors has left a void, one that tells the story of all of us, and serves as a reminder to hold on to, frequent and cherish the Ruthie’s in your city or town.

As Minnesota erupts in protests with cries of racism and tyranny over the recent ICE shootings, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says she’s “having deja vu to 2020.”“Like, are we really doing this again?” Stuckey asks.“So many women in my DMs have yet again fallen for the very same psychological and political traps that were laid for us in 2020 and, in some ways, were laid for us all the way back in the Garden of Eden,” she explains.In 2020, Stuckey recalls people suddenly becoming “very feverish about things like masks.”“We were getting a lot of propaganda. It was almost like Trump’s enemies realized that they can harness this as a tool to try to help him lose the election. And then George Floyd happens, the riots happen, the protests,” she says.“And, of course, you remember that right away, the reaction by most people, especially in the evangelical world, was to condemn racism, to condemn police brutality, to condemn white supremacy, to almost apologize to their black friends, to post the black square, maybe put their Christian spin on it,” she continues.Of course, those same people ignored the deaths of young people like Tony Timpa and Justine Damond, who were also unarmed, in non-threatening positions, and killed by police officers.“But they didn’t have the right skin color. And so they didn’t point to the systemic white supremacy, the institutional racism that has plagued our country since its very beginning,” Stuckey says.“That’s just not true. That’s not politically true. I mean, black Americans have a large segment of the vote. They almost always vote Democrat. Barack Obama won his election two years in a row. It’s not true that these voices are politically unheard, but that was used by Christians to justify violence and to check themselves and to check their privilege and to commit to being an anti-racist,” she continues.“And I had read too much Thomas Sowell and too much Walter Williams at that point in my life to buy into that. But I’m telling you, for real, it was really hard. It would have been so much easier at the time to shut up about that and to just not say anything, to just post the black square,” she says.And while both of the recent ICE shootings have been of white people, they were white people defending the honor of minorities and white people playing into the propaganda that minorities need saving, just like in 2020.“They’re buying into lies, and they’re very tied to it,” Stuckey says.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
