Bill Gates Testifies: What Unfolded Behind Closed Doors? New

Bill Gates Testifies: What Unfolded Behind Closed Doors?

Bill Gates appeared Wednesday before a House Oversight Committee panel investigating the Jeffrey Epstein files, becoming the latest high-profile figure to testify in the sweeping probe.Gates' testimony comes as lawmakers intensify scrutiny of powerful individuals tied to Epstein and push for greater transparency and accountability in the long-running investigation. Gates’ closed-door interview could shape what information is made public next, with transcripts expected later and additional witnesses likely to be called.The Microsoft co-founder said he attended voluntarily and hoped his testimony would aid efforts “to find justice for the victims,” as the committee examines documents linking him to meetings and communications with Epstein....Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein Relationship: What We KnowBill Gates’ relationship with Epstein has come under renewed scrutiny as the House Oversight Committee is reviewing documents tied to the late financier’s network. Records released by the Justice Department show that Gates met with Epstein multiple times between roughly 2011 and 2014, including calendar entries for meetings, emails discussing philanthropic initiatives and photos of events they both attended.In February, Gates admitted to having affairs and apologized for his ties to the late convicted sex offender during a town hall meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The Microsoft co-founder acknowledged he had two affairs with Russian women that Epstein later discovered, but he said they didn't involve Epstein's victims, the Journal reported, citing a recording of the meeting it had reviewed.Gates has repeatedly acknowledged those meetings but characterized them as a mistake. In prepared remarks and previous public statements, he said he “should never have met” Epstein and denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct during their interactions.Melinda French Gates has said publicly that her ex-husband's meetings with Jeffrey Epstein were a source of deep discomfort and strain during their marriage, recalling that she “did not like” the relationship and made her concerns clear to her husband. In interviews following the latest Epstein file releases, she described the renewed scrutiny as bringing back “very, very painful times” and “unbelievable sadness,” while suggesting his ties to Epstein were among the factors that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage. She has also stressed that unresolved questions about those connections should be answered by those involved, including her ex-husband, not by her.Bill Gates Full Opening Statement"Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member, Members of the Committee—"Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. "I am here to answer your questions about my interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and to help contribute to the Committee’s important work. I support the release of all the Epstein files and sincerely hope that, through your efforts and those of others advocating on their behalf, the survivors of Epstein’s crimes can get the justice that they deserve. "At the outset, I want to state very clearly: I never witnessed nor had any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct. I never went to his island, his ranch, or his Florida home. I have never victimized anyone. While he may have sought to foster a personal relationship, I was never interested in that and never reciprocated."I was introduced to Epstein in 2011 through people I trusted in my professional and philanthropic work. Epstein claimed he could raise billions of dollars for global health from people for whom he provided tax and estate services. I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed. I accepted the introduction without applying the scrutiny I should have."For almost two decades, my full-time focus has been global health and education. I have been guided by the belief that all lives have equal value, and that every child should have the chance to live a healthy life, no matter where they were born. I have committed my resources and my time to this effort, but my wealth alone cannot fill the enormous funding gap that remains. This is why trying to encourage others of significant means to invest in global health has become such an important element of my work."My interactions with Epstein began with a limited number of preliminary meetings—three in 2011 and two in 2012—during which I talked about the goals of my work. We began more extensive conversations in 2013 and 2014. The discussions focused on identifying potential giving structures, such as donor-advised funds, and how to enroll individuals he claimed were interested in making significant contributions. I made it clear to Epstein from the outset that he would never play a role in any of the work or receive any compensation."In 2014, after Epstein brought together a group he described as potential donors, I realized that our prior discussions—which should have translated into meaningful philanthropic support—were a dead-end. It was clear that no one in the group was interested enough to move forward. At that point, I concluded Epstein would never deliver on his promises. I told him we would go no further and stopped communicating or meeting with him. No vehicle for charitable giving was ever created and no funds were raised. Our interactions ended in December 2014, four years before new reports in the press and unsealed court documents shed light on the extent of his crimes."It was during the same time period that an employee was in the process of transitioning out of my private office. This employee engaged Epstein to negotiate and advise him on the terms of the separation. I did not ask—nor did I want or need— Epstein to be involved in this matter. His involvement resulted in email exchanges, calls, and meetings with members of my team and me. However, the agreement we ultimately reached was not any different from what was previously agreed upon months in advance of Epstein inserting himself."It was after this that I learned Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about my personal life, including the fact that I had been unfaithful in my marriage. These affairs had nothing to do with my interactions with Epstein, but they were painful for my family. As the public can now see, based on what has been released in the files, Epstein was working to use information about my infidelities—in addition to many lies that he layered on top—to pressure me to re-engage with him. He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda."I should never have met with Epstein in the first place. Based on what I know now, I understand that even if he had delivered the new donors he promised, it would not have justified associating with him."I see now that he sought to build an image of legitimacy around himself, using connections to reputable and powerful people to deflect scrutiny and attempt to rehabilitate his reputation. I was so focused on the possibility of raising funds for global health that I allowed that goal to override my better judgment. That is a sobering realization, and it has reinforced for me the importance of being more attentive to how access and reputation can be manipulated by people acting in bad faith."In the work I do, reputation is the basis for developing partnerships that save lives. Meeting with Epstein was a grave error in judgment and put this work at risk. His behavior was antithetical to all my efforts to contribute to a world where everyone has a chance to live a healthy and productive life. If the time I spent with Epstein lent him any credibility, I am deeply sorry. I have learned a significant lesson and am now far more careful about who I engage with, even in a limited capacity."I look forward to answering all your questions about my interactions with Epstein—and the topics identified in the Chairman’s invitation to appear today."This Committee’s work is essential. It is my sincere hope that those harmed by Epstein’s crimes will receive the justice they deserve."Thank you."How Did Jeffrey Epstein Make His Money?Epstein built his wealth primarily through finance, operating as a money manager for a small group of high-net-worth clients. Public reporting and government records indicate he established investment firms and managed funds for wealthy individuals, though details about the full scope of his financial activities remain limited and opaque.His connections to powerful figures in business, politics and finance helped bolster his status and access to elite networks, which in turn supported his financial dealings. Documents released as part of federal investigations have highlighted that Epstein cultivated extensive relationships across industries, contributing to the continued scrutiny of how he amassed and maintained his fortune.When Did Jeffrey Epstein Die?Epstein died in August 2019 while in federal custody at a jail in New York, where he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving minors. Authorities ruled his death a suicide, though it has remained a focal point of public and congressional scrutiny as investigations into his network and connections continue.This is a breaking news article.

Taylor Swift's Surprise Move at Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals Sparks Buzz New

Taylor Swift's Surprise Move at Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals Sparks Buzz

Is this Taylor Swift’s ultimate makeup song for the Knicks?Page Six can exclusively confirm that Taylor Swift will be attending Wednesday’s Game 4 of the NBA Finals, in which the New York Knicks will be taking on the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.A source tells us, “She’s a huge fan of the Knicks and really wants to be there to support them. She is going with friends.”Taylor Swift (pictured above in November 2014) will be attending Wednesday night’s New York Knicks game. Anthony J. Causi / New York PostPage Six can exclusively confirm Swift (pictured above in October 2014) will watch the team’s NBA Finals Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs. Anthony J. Causi / New York PostThe Grammy winner, 36, recently caused a stir with New Yorkers for attending a Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Knicks with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, who was wearing head-to-toe merch from the Ohio team.The NFL player insisted to “New Heights” listeners last week, however, that he was not “trying to persuade Taylor into being a Cleveland sports fan” with him.He explained, “This was me just having a fun date night knowing that I love going to basketball games. We actually tried to go to a game in New York, but I was stuck in Kansas City. I love bringing her into the sports world that I appreciate.“Obviously, being a Cleveland sports fan all my life, getting Tay back to Cleveland and showing her my roots is always something I love doing,” the Super Bowl champion continued.The singer’s outing comes one day after she walked the red carpet for Tuesday’s “Toy Story 5” premiere. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for TAS Rights ManagementThe Grammy winner attended a Knicks game in May when the New York team played the Cleveland Cavaliers. Getty ImagesHer fiancé, Travis Kelce (pictured above on May 17), wore a hat and jersey supporting the Ohio team at the time. NBAE via Getty ImagesKelce, who grew up in a Cleveland Heights, Ohio, suburb, admitted it was “tough to see” the Cavaliers lose to the Knicks — but he’ll “be rooting for” the New York team “from here on out.”Swift, for her part, has lived in New York since 2014 and shown support for the Knicks multiple times over the years, notably with Karlie Kloss, who is set to attend the singer’s upcoming nuptials.She and Kelce, also 36, are set to tie the knot in the Big Apple next month — at the NBA team’s home stadium, Madison Square Garden, no less.The athlete (pictured above on May 23) later insisted it was a “fun date night,” not a chance to “persuade Taylor into being a Cleveland sports fan.” Getty ImagesSwift is a longtime fan of the Knicks, notably attending a game in 2014 with former best friend Karlie Kloss. Anthony J. Causi / New York PostShe and Kelce got engaged in August 2025. Taylor Swift / InstagramMultiple sources confirmed the massive venue to Page Six last week, with one quipping, “If you have billions, you can transform the space.”Elite wedding planner Sonal Shah subsequently told The Post that nuptials at the arena, expected to take place over the July 3 weekend, could set Swift and Kelce back $20 million.On top of “catering, entertainment and décor,” a “weekend night at one of the most iconic venues in the world is not just about renting the space — you’re also paying for exclusivity, staffing, security, operations and the opportunity cost of a concert or sporting event that could otherwise be taking place,” she noted.They are set to tie the knot at Madison Square Garden, where Swift has performed multiple times (as pictured above in December 2019). Getty ImagesThe couple (pictured above on May 23) is expected to wed over the July 3 weekend. Getty ImagesSwift was named a billionaire by Forbes in 2024, while Kelce’s estimated net worth is $47.3 million.The duo has been together since 2023, with the Kansas City Chiefs player getting down on one knee last summer.A rep for MSG declined to comment.

Trump and Netanyahu: A Hidden Rift That Could Change Everything New

Trump and Netanyahu: A Hidden Rift That Could Change Everything

Reports of a growing divide between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are gaining momentum amid the drawn-out U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and its regional allies.The rift is real. On multiple occasions, Trump has publicly urged Netanyahu to avoid further escalation, and recently confirmed at least one heated exchange in which he rebuked the Israeli leader for pressing ahead with military operations in Lebanon that Iran considers a red line in the fragile negotiations between Washington and Tehran.When Israeli strikes against a suspected Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut prompted Iranian retaliation, Trump again appealed unsuccessfully for restraint from his ally. The two-day exchange ended Monday with visible signs of tension between the U.S. and Israel.Yet analysts and former officials caution against interpreting the latest disagreements as evidence of a fundamental falling out between two leaders who have often found themselves at odds tactically while remaining aligned strategically."I would not bet against the Netanyahu-Trump relationship," Dan Rothem, senior policy analyst at Israel Policy Forum who has briefed U.S. and Israeli officials on regional affairs, told Newsweek. "They have repeatedly proven to be more aligned and coordinated than many observers assume. While disagreements come up, they usually overcome them and come out with a shared understanding of challenges and approaches."It's not a matter of capability, but one of will for the White House. Trump, like "any U.S. president," Rothem argued, "has significant leverage over Israel.""The real question is whether Trump sees using that leverage as serving his interests," he said. "So far, he has applied some pressure on issues related to Lebanon and Iran, but has largely avoided a direct clash with Netanyahu, whom he understands both strategically and politically."Getty ImagesWhere the Gaps LieIt's not the first time that tensions between Trump and Netanyahu have simmered to the surface.The U.S. leader entered his second non-consecutive term last year pushing Israel toward a ceasefire with the Palestinian Hamas movement that sparked first sparked the regional war with its deadly October 2023 surprise attack. Trump offered little resistance when Israel ultimately reignited the conflict in Gaza following a collapse in negotiations, though fractures then, too, appeared.More dramatic was Trump's response to Israel's bombing of a Hamas meeting in Qatar amid a second push for peace last September. Netanyahu offered a rare apology as Trump looked on directly in the Oval Office, and signed on to a new peace deal shortly after.The Iran challenge has proven more complex. Trump, while engaged in negotiations with the Islamic Republic, did not protest Israel's decision to unleash an unprecedented campaign of strikes against the Islamic Republic, with the U.S. even joining in to destroy three heavily fortified nuclear facilities.What followed, however, was one of his most striking directives against further Israeli action, reportedly leading to dozens of Israeli warplanes turning back in what would have been a final round of strikes for the so-called 12-Day War.Reports of new discontent emerged earlier this year as Netanyahu campaigned for direct U.S. action following Iran's crackdown against protests and new talks between Washington and Tehran. Trump ultimately signed on, supporting a series of strikes in late February that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and scores of key commanders, while further devastating Iranian military sites.But the conflict has not led to the same kind of quick victory witnessed in June. Iran has not only weathered the intervention so far but has also imposed major costs in its stranglehold on oil and gas trade through the Strait of Hormuz and creating major pressure for the White House.Dennis Ross, a longtime U.S. diplomat who served in a number of Middle East-related State Department positions, argued "there is a real divergence" between the two leaders "because they have different interests.""President Trump wants to open the Straits of Hormuz and end the war. You don’t hear him talking about the Iranian ballistic missile or proxy threat anymore," Ross told Newsweek. "Even on the Iranian nuclear program, he may emphasize that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, but his criteria for ensuring that are far less stringent than Prime Minister Netanyahu's."Ross pointed out that Netanyahu—whose nickname is Bibi—"wants all the enriched uranium to be shipped out or destroyed," not merely the highly enriched uranium, and "to ensure that all the nuclear infrastructure and facilities related to the fuel cycle should not be rebuilt." "Apart from the nuclear issue, Bibi is focused on the ballistic missile inventories and production facilities and the proxies," Ross said. "President Trump may want the war to end, but Netanyahu does not want it to end before much more damage is done to the Iranian ballistic missile and drone inventories, the tunnels where large numbers were preserved, and the capacity for the Iranians to reconstitute their missile production capability is made even more difficult."Ultimately, Ross expressed that Trump "absolutely has the capability to rein in Prime Minister Netanyahu," point to key events over the past year that demonstrated this capability."As for the question of if President Trump has such leverage, why does he not exercise it more—he does it when he believes it is in his interests to do so," Ross said. "He defines those circumstances narrowly but we have seen him act."Fight for SurvivalDaniel Shapiro, former U.S. ambassador to Israel now serving as senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, outlined a similar state of affairs when it comes to the divide between Trump and Netanyahu."Trump and Netanyahu's interests have diverged considerably since the start of the war, as have the United States' and Israel's," Shapiro told Newsweek. "Trump wants the war to end and is focused on ensuring the Strait of Hormuz is open and he can claim some credible steps to set back Iran's nuclear program. He also does not want fighting in Lebanon to disrupt the talks with Iran.""Netanyahu would prefer to keep fighting and weakening the regime in Iran, does not believe that any good nuclear deal is possible, and wants to be able to respond to Hezbollah's attacks against Israel with strong strikes in Lebanon," Shapiro said. "That's a pretty big rift. But Trump will make the decision when the war in Iran ends, and Netanyahu is going to have to accept it."But that would come at a significant cost for Netanyahu, whose own future lies in the balance between credible wartime achievements and remaining in Trump's good favor."The bigger political risk in this rift is Netanyahu's," Shapiro said. "He has sold himself to Israeli voters as the protector of Israel's security and as Donald Trump's best friend, given Trump's popularity in Israel.""Now he faces the prospect of an election campaign when Israel is constrained not to fight it's still dangerous enemies, and it is clear that his relationship with Trump is under stress and compromising Israel's sovereign decisions about its security," he added. "It's a vicious vice he finds himself in that undercuts his main selling points to Israeli voters."Netanyahu's woes are not limited to the political sphere, either. He faces an ongoing trial on corruption charges, along with several other scandals with the potential to translate into legal challenges.Trump, who has also faced multiple criminal indictments in recent years, has come to Netanyahu's aid, something of which he reportedly reminded the Israeli premier during their tense phone call last week.On its surface, the episode appeared to confirm predictions of a growing clash between the two men. But while "their political incentives are not the same," with a fateful election for Netanyahu looming, Rothem argued, both will more than likely seek to find ways to capitalize on the buzz around their apparent dispute."It is still too early to know whether a public show of distance between the two would help either politically," Rothem said. "But Netanyahu, and likely Trump as well, are highly attuned to political sentiment and will recognize any advantage well before many of their opponents do."Iran Has a Say TooWhether or not Trump and Netanyahu may be truly headed toward a greater schism, their mutual foe may play an influential role in the volatile dynamic, especially if diplomacy advances."Ironically, the future of the relationship may ultimately depend on Iran," Rothem said. "If Tehran remains confrontational in its dealings with Washington, Trump and Netanyahu are likely to stay aligned. If Iran moves toward a real agreement with the U.S., that could become the most serious test of the relationship between the two leaders."Hassan Beheshtipour, an Iranian international affairs analyst, saw several ways through which the U.S. could lean more heavily on Israel, an endeavor he argued may prove consequential in determining whether or not peace can be preserved in the long term."The United States has the power to restrain Israel—for example, by halting arms sales or not vetoing UN Security Council resolutions—if it possesses the necessary political will," Beheshtipour told Newsweek. "The U.S. could explicitly declare that the full implementation of the Abraham Accords and any new normalization agreements in the region (including with Saudi Arabia) are conditional on Israel halting its attacks on Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, as well as stopping its expansionist policies in the West Bank," Beheshtipour said. "Such leverage is far more powerful than anything Washington has used to date.""Unless the U.S. uses this leverage, any agreement with Iran will remain fragile, because Israel has both the means and the motivation to undermine it," he added. "In that case, not only Lebanon but the entire region will be exposed to a new round of instability."

Has Prince Harry Soured on America? The Surprising Shift Everyone's Talking About New

Has Prince Harry Soured on America? The Surprising Shift Everyone's Talking About

Prince Harry has pivoted from effusive praise of America to measured criticism of Donald Trump's administration since the president's re-election, while his attention has turned to rebuilding his bond with Britain.In April 2024, Newsweek broke the story that the Duke of Sussex had changed his official country of residence from Britain to America, while a few months earlier he floated the idea he might gain U.S. citizenship.Since then though, Harry has not made positive statements about America, instead stating in 2025 that he had no plans to become legally American. In one of his few comments about his new home, he took aim at Trump's foreign policy, suggesting America had an obligation to support Ukraine's efforts to repel Russia's invasion.Prince Harry answers questions during the Kyiv Security Forum, in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, on April 23, 2026. | Genya Savilov / AFP via Getty ImagesWhy It MattersPrince Harry previously framed America as a life raft after he was, he argues, forced out of the monarchy, moving to California in March 2020. More recently, his attitude appears to have shifted.That has led some commentators to argue that Harry may want to move back to Britain, citing an essay in which he said America was "currently" his home.Prince Harry's Praise for America Before Trump's VictoryBefore Trump’s return to power, Harry’s public language about the United States was more positive and expansive."Home for me, now, for the time being, is in the States," Harry told Hoda Kotb during an interview for Today in April 2022. "And it really feels that way, as well. We’ve been welcomed with open arms and have got such a great community up in Santa Barbara."And in February 2024, he told ABC's Good Morning America how much he was enjoying his U.S. life, saying "it’s amazing," and adding: "I love every single day."The prince said he had considered getting U.S. citizenship. Asked what would stop him, he said "I have no idea," before adding: "The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly is not something that is a high priority for me right now."In his book Spare, published in January 2023, Harry described an early trip to America in January 2016, months before meeting Meghan Markle. "The typical Brit, I asked for a gin and tonic," he wrote. "'Hell no,' the Americans said, laughing. 'You’re in the States now, pal, have a real drink. Have a tequila.'""I thought: I like these Americans. I like them a lot," Harry wrote. "Strange time to be pro-American. Most of the world wasn’t."And he was quite specific about why: "I was reminded of my childhood, when people warned me all the time about Americans. Too loud, too rich, too happy. Too confident, too direct, too honest."Nah, I always thought. Yanks didn’t beat about the bush, didn’t fill the air with polite snorts and throat clearings before coming to the point. "Whatever was on their mind, they’d spit it out, like a sneeze, and while that could be problematic at times, I usually found it preferable to the alternative: No one saying what they truly felt. No one wanting to hear how you felt. I’d experienced that at twelve years old [his age when Princess Diana died in a 1997 car crash]. I experienced it even more now that I was thirty-one."That is not to say he never took aim at Trump prior to 2024. In 2020, in the run-up to the presidential election that Trump lost to Joe Biden, Harry delivered a video for Time 100 calling on Americans to vote in which he said it was "vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity."It came a month after Meghan used a voter-registration drive for the Michelle Obama-backed When All Women Vote to call for "the change we all need and deserve." Both comments were interpreted at the time as thinly veiled criticisms of Trump.Since Trump’s election victory in November 2024, Harry has pivoted from praise for his U.S. life and the warm welcome given to him by emotionally literate Americans to taking aim at U.S. foreign policy.One of his most significant interventions came at the Kyiv Security Forum in April 2026, when he said America had an obligation to back Ukraine and called for the nation to be shown "respect." He did not explicitly reference Trump but the relevant context was the infamous standoff in the Oval Office of the White House when the U.S. president told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: "You're gambling with World War III, and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that's backed you far more than a lot of people say they should."JD Vance added: "Have you said thank you?"But Harry suggested American support for Ukraine was in fact not charity."The United States has a singular role in this story. Not only because of its power, but because when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, America was part of the assurance that Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders would be respected."This is a moment for American leadership—a moment for America to show that it can honor its international treaty obligations—not out of charity, but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability."And he appeared to reference some of the fiery comments aimed at Zelensky in the Oval Office when he said: "Respect. Ukraine has earned the respect of the world."Harry appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in December 2025, where he joked that Americans were obsessed with royalty."I wouldn't say we're obsessed with royalty," Colbert replied. Harry said: "Really? I heard you elected a king."The reference was to the "No Kings" protests that sought to frame Trump's presidency as authoritarian. It was a light-hearted joke, but in a context where Harry has previously criticized Trump.In 2020, Harry was pranked by Russian comedians posing as climate activist Greta Thunberg and said: "I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry so big in America, he has blood on his hands."While presented humorously, the remark aligned with a broader pattern: Harry has engaged with American politics through critique or satire rather than endorsement. This marks a departure from earlier messaging, when the United States was often framed as a place of possibility and renewal. Since Trump’s victory, Harry’s rhetoric suggests a more complex stance.Prince Harry's Praise for BritainAt the same time, Harry's recent comments about Britishness have been more positive than passages in his memoir, which described Britain as emotionally reservedIn a November 2025 essay on British identity, Harry wrote: "Though currently, I may live in the United States, Britain is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for."The banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub, the stands—ridiculous as it sounds, these are the things that make us British. I make no apology for it. I love it."The word "currently" in that sentence caught attention at the time with a November 2025 headline in Cosmopolitan reading: "Why Prince Harry's Use of 'Currently' in His Personal Essay Has Royal Aides 'Sweating.'"All of this has led commentators to speculate that Harry may want to spend more time in Britain. The prince has not said so publicly but if true then there is a major stumbling block he would have to traverse.Harry says it is not safe for him and his family in Britain unless he gets his Metropolitan Police team reinstated and so far there has been no sign of that happening.Needless to say, there will be a new opportunity to gauge Harry's relationship with his homeland this summer when he is planning a return to Britain to promote the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham with one year to go. If anything, his recent comments suggest that the United States has become less a symbol of opportunity and more a subject of scrutiny—while Britain, for all its challenges, has returned to being the emotional core of his public narrative.

Billy Bob Thornton's Jaw-Dropping 'Landman' Scene Sparks Wild Reactions New

Billy Bob Thornton's Jaw-Dropping 'Landman' Scene Sparks Wild Reactions

Billy Bob Thornton didn’t sweat his shocking full-frontal scene in “Landman.”The actor, 70, spoke out about the wild scene in which his character, Tommy Norris, accidentally flashes a hotel employee while in bed.“I don’t know what the reaction was,” Thornton told Us Weekly at the Newport Beach TV Fest on Saturday. “But obviously before we filmed, it was kind of like, ‘Whoa, yikes. This is interesting.’”Thornton called the scene “funny,” adding, “And I didn’t care.”Billy Bob Thornton spoke out about his full-frontal scene in “Landman” Season 2, telling Us Weekly that he “didn’t care” about its shocking nature. (Thornton is pictured above on the Paramount+ series.) Lauren "Lo" Smith/Paramount+He did acknowledge, “But obviously before we filmed, it was kind of like, ‘Whoa, yikes. This is interesting.’” (Pictured here: Thornton in a scene from “Landman.”) Emerson Miller/Paramount+In the highly talked-about scene from “Landman” Season 2, Tommy rolls over while asleep and exposes himself to a female hotel worker, who screams and wakes him up. The employee freaks out and asks him not to rape her as Ali Larter’s character, Angela, steps out of the bathroom and tells Tommy, “Put your d–k away!”Angela tells the frightened woman of Tommy, “He eats Cialis [an erectile disfunction medication] like M&Ms and runs into door jams all morning with that thing. I’m so sorry about that.”After the hotel employee leaves, Angela tells Tommy, “Poor thing. If she wasn’t a lesbian when she walked in here, she’s a f–king lesbian now.” Tommy then threatens to “f–k the whole breakfast.”“Landman” co-creator Christian Wallace clarified to the Hollywood Reporter in January that Thornton’s scene wasn’t as revealing as audiences may have believed.Thornton and Ali Larter (pictured above on “Landman”) star in the Paramount+ series created by Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace. Emerson Miller/Paramount+Thornton plays Tommy Norris in the series, while Larter plays Angela. (The actors are pictured together above in a scene from the Paramount+ series.) Ryan Green/Paramount+“We had an on-set intimacy coordinator, and the original prosthetic she brought in made everyone laugh,” he told the outlet. “We were like, ‘No.’ So we went with a more humble alternative.”“But it is surprising to me that people think that was actually Billy doing full-frontal nudity,” Wallace added. “So I should say props to our intimacy coordinator for making it extremely realistic, and to the props team. They had a whole rig, as Billy called it: ‘Got my rig on.'”In December 2025, Paramount renewed “Landman” for a third season.The Paramount+ series, which stars Thornton as a landman for an oil company in West Texas, also stars Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Michelle Randolph and Sam Elliott.“Landman” has been renewed for a third season. Thornton is pictured here last month. Todd Williamson/JanuaryImages / BACKGRIDThe actor, pictured here last Saturday at the Newport Beach TV Fest, praised Sheridan as someone who “writes great stuff.” Getty Images for Newport Beach TV FESTThornton also addressed speculation that his character Tommy is going to die to Us Weekly, noting, “I think [creator] Taylor [Sheridan] is going to let me hang around.”Thornton praised Sheridan despite the “Yellowstone” creator’s lack of major awards for his popular television series.“It’s like, ‘If you have a disagreement over someone’s way or vibe or whatever it is, that’s not the point,” he said. “The point is, is he good? He writes great stuff.”“He’s created quite an empire — and you have to respect him for that. He has the fame, he has the success, he deserves to be recognized for his work in TV shows, for sure.”

Tears and Tension: Why Karmelo Anthony's Conviction is Stirring Outrage New

Tears and Tension: Why Karmelo Anthony's Conviction is Stirring Outrage

McKINNEY, Texas — Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet — and his furious supporters raged, “This whole thing’s been racist!”The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life — prompting the killer’s weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.“He’s my oldest. He’ll always be my baby. I love him very much,” Anthony’s mom, Kala Hayes, sobbed to jurors before they headed into further deliberations to decide his sentence.Karmelo Anthony, now 19, was convicted of fatally stabbing fellow high school athlete Austin Metcalf. Frisco Police DepartmentMetcalf was knifed over a dispute involving seating at a track and field meet April 2, 2025. x/AMetcalAs she spoke, Anthony also cried.“I know my son, and he’s very sorry for what he did,” Hayes told the jury.“Please have mercy on my son.”Anthony killed Metcalf during a April 2, 2025, run-in prompted by a dispute over seating at the track and field event in Frisco.Anthony previously appeared glum, looking down and not immediately speaking with his lawyers, as he entered the courtroom to hear the verdict — then broke into sobs as it was announced, several outlets in court reported.A person announcing the guilty verdict in front of a crowd of Anthony supporters at Collin County courthouse.

Never!”Here’s the latest on Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial following the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf Austin Metcalf’s dad goes scorched earth on Karmelo Anthony, demands son’s killer look him in the eye Baby-faced killer Karmelo Anthony seen in first mugshot since murder conviction, 35-year sentence Hate-filled protests erupt outside courthouse after Karmelo Anthony found guilty of murder Sobbing Karmelo Anthony learns his fate for murdering Austin Metcalf at Texas high school track meet The jury consisted of white, Asian and Hispanic members.It was set to deliberate again Tuesday — this time over Anthony’s sentencing.Jurors are sitting through a second “mini-trial” featuring a single witness, Anthony’s mom, instructions from the judge about sentencing and “closing arguments” from both sides.A demonstrator holding a “Jusice 4 Austin” sign outside the courtroom in McKinney, Texas, on June 9, 2026.

FOX 4 Dallas-Fort WorthThey will watch a video explaining a potential extenuating circumstance — “sudden passion” — which is considered in the sentencing phase of such cases and could massively lower his prison term.Defense lawyers have described the term as when you commit an act because you didn’t take the time to “cool off.”It could drop Anthony’s prison time of five to 99 years, or life, for first-degree murder without the circumstance to between two and 20 years in prison if the crime is deemed one of “sudden passion.”Some supporters of Anthony have claimed the trial was racist due to there being no black jurors. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort WorthProsecutor Dewey Mitchell told jurors during the sentencing phase, “This is not about vengeance.“It’s not about leniency, either,’’ the government lawyer said, according to NBC.“In Collin County, what’s the price of taking a life?” Mitchell said.“There are going to be bleachers at stadiums in Collin County where parents are going to watch their kids play. One of the reasons we’re in the community we live in is because we feel safe.’’Supporters of Anthony holding a sign claiming the teen killed Metcalf in self-defense. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort WorthOne of Anthony’s lawyers, Mike Howard, tried to sway the jury to consider the possible extenuating circumstance on the table — with Anthony crying at times as he spoke.“Sudden passion doesn’t mean blaming Austin or Hunter or any of those Memorial kids under that tent,” he said. “This is not about blaming a victim.“Decisions made in the heat of the moment are different than decisions that come after reflection.Two women consoling each other outside the courthouse after the verdict was read. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth“So when something happens … and you believe that Karmelo felt terror in that moment such that it rendered his mind incapable that he didn’t have time for cool reflection, then sudden passion applies,” the lawyer said.The verdict came after four days of sometimes excruciating testimony that was so graphic, it visibly shocked jurors and drove Metcalf’s family from the courtroom.Sympathizers of the killer tried to make the sensational case about race, suggesting Metcalf was nothing more than a white bully targeting Anthony, who is black — and whose legal defense raised more than $625,000.A courtroom sketch of Karmelo Anthony at his murder trial on June 4, 2026. APThe jury, which didn’t include a single black person, heard from students and coaches who were at Kuykendall Stadium where the fatal altercation took place, as well as from medics, officials and law enforcement officers who responded afterward.Anthony primarily relied on the argument that he committed the slaying in self-defense, although he did not take the witness stand to personally give jurors his point of view.Experts said the move may have helped doom his chance of an acquittal.Anthony’s mother, Kayla Hayes, begged jurors to have mercy on her son. Family handoutAnthony also could have been found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, but jurors nailed him on the top rap.Sam Bassett, a partner at the firm Minton, Bassett, Flores & Carsey in Austin, Texas, said such a strong verdict shouldn’t have come as a surprise.“Evidence that is gory, such as a large knife wound, can trigger the emotions of some jurors deeply,” he told The Post. “This often leaves them with a sense that they need to do something about what happened and almost always fans the flames of a guilty verdict.”Teammates of Metcalf told the jury that the fight began when the victim, a student at Frisco Memorial High School, asked Anthony, then a 17-year-old from Frisco Centennial High School, to move out from under the Memorial team’s tent.Anthony refused to vacate the bleacher area where the rival teammates set up their tent despite being asked roughly 15 times by Metcalf and others.At one point during the escalating dispute, Anthony warned Metcalf, “Touch me and find out,” while his hand was in his backpack ready to grab something, witnesses said.Metcalf eventually shoved Anthony, and the killer teen whipped out a semi-serrated folding knife from his bag, plunging it once into the victim’s chest, according to testimony.Metcalf’s twin brother, Hunter, and others rushed to try to save the mortally wounded student, while Anthony ditched his knife and made for the exit before coaches stopped him, jurors heard.Anthony told the coaches he warned Metcalf not to touch him and admitted to the stabbing but contended it was in self-defense. A classmate of Anthony testified Monday that the killer appeared “distraught,” crying and hugging a coach in the moments after the attack.The trial featured graphic testimony and photos that shook jurors, including autopsy photos of Metcalf’s 2-inch wound and his pierced heart.Metcalf’s family stepped out of the courtroom for the disturbing evidence and became emotional at various points of the trial, including when one coach broke down on the witness stand recalling Austin’s death.
