The trust holding President Donald Trump’s assets asked a federal judge Wednesday to pause an order forcing the trust to turn over Trump’s financial information to the BBC, making a last-ditch effort to keep the president’s personal finances under wraps as the BBC questions whether a 2024 documentary actually caused him $10 billion in damages.

Lawyers for Trump’s trust filed an emergency motion Wednesday asking Judge Enjolique A. Lett to pause an order she issued last week, which directed the trust to turn over financial documents to the BBC by Thursday.

Trump is asking the BBC to pay him $10 billion as part of a defamation lawsuit over a 2024 documentary that misquoted Trump’s speech to supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, and the BBC has demanded Trump provide financial information to prove the documentary actually damaged his business and brand enough to justify the 11-figure reward.

Attorneys for Trump’s trust—which holds the president’s assets to distance him from his businesses while in office—argued that once the documents are turned over, no order “can un-disclose them or undo the expense of compiling them,” if a court ultimately finds they were unnecessary to turn over.

Trump is also attempting to get out of turning the documents over by amending his initial lawsuit to argue the BBC documentary only damaged his personal reputation, rather than his businesses, which the trust argued would negate the need for turning over financial documents in the first place.

The BBC’s subpoena for financial documents asks for numerous details about Trump’s personal finances and the value of some 400 businesses he has connections to, including tax returns, though the judge limited the initial subpoena and said the trust only has to hand over documents from 2023 onward.

LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA)— A Winter Haven pastor was arrested after Polk County deputies said he had sex with a 14-year-old boy without disclosing that he was HIV positive.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said an investigation began after it received a NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Endangered Children) cyber tip regarding inappropriate contact 42-year-old Timothy Chaneyfield was having with a child.

“We don’t want this evil man ever to be outside of prison again, because if he is I can assure you that pedophiles don’t change their personality or their wants or their needs,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Detectives said that a 14-year-old boy told them he met Chaneyfield on a dating mobile app and then continued to chat via Instagram, which is where the tip was generated.

According to investigators, Chaneyfield picked up the teen on three consecutive days at the entrance to his subdivision and drove him to his house in Winter Haven, where they had sex each day.

Chaneyfield allegedly told the boy on the phone that he wanted to continue having sex with him, but he was going to fly to Baltimore for work.

Detectives said they learned that Chaneyfield was a chaplain for Compassionate Care Hospice and was going to preside over a funeral in Baltimore.

Miller's attorney blames a missed page for the leak as Sen. Bernie Moreno calls it grotesque and Miller now asks for his own House ethics probe before an Aug. 10 ballot deadline.

https://tiffinohio.net/posts/miller-nude-image-2-year-old-daughter-evidence-dump/

Moments before he posted a link to hundreds of messages, recordings and images from his divorce, U.S. Rep. Max Miller told a livestream audience why he was doing it.

“This isn’t about defending myself,” the Ohio Republican said. “I’m speaking up as a father, trying to protect our daughter.”

The folder he shared Sunday with his nearly 60,000 followers on X contained an image of that daughter, who is 2 years old, nude, CNN reported Tuesday. The image was publicly available for at least a day before it was taken down.

Miller’s personal attorney, Aaron Minc, has taken responsibility for it. “Unfortunately, I missed the last three pages of a 40+ page document with sensitive content,” Minc said in a statement to CNN. “It was completely unintentional and a mistake. The moment I discovered the issue on Monday morning, I corrected the file immediately.”

Minc said he made multiple passes through the material to strip out sensitive details, including the child’s name. CNN reported that an earlier version of the public file it reviewed included the child’s name dozens of times, along with payment records to medical providers and several images of her.

“I am truly sorry to Congressman Miller, Ms. Moreno, both of their families, and, especially, to their daughter,” Minc said. “I deeply regret the mistake.”

CEDAR CREST, N.M. — New Mexico’s attorney general sued the U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday, accusing it of blocking the state from investigating sex crimes at Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling ranch near Santa Fe.

The lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., said the department and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stonewalled New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez’s criminal investigation into Epstein and others, taking steps that “actively harms victims and undermines the public interest.”

The lawsuit seeking judicial intervention to force the federal government to turn over materials to New Mexico’s investigators was filed the same day that the state released a report saying “those directly responsible for protecting New Mexicans relied on others to do their job,” including federal prosecutors in New York.

“The federal prosecutors, though, never prioritized New Mexicans, focusing instead on Epstein’s misdeeds in New York, Palm Beach, Florida, and the Virgin Islands, while leaving Epstein’s offenses in New Mexico unexamined,” the report said.

Meanwhile, according to the Washington lawsuit, Torrez and his senior prosecutors “have faced sustained resistance” to the kind of information-sharing that had occurred in the past between state and federal investigators.

Brutal karma for Dem congress candidate blasting music on packed tropical beach
https://nypost.com/2026/08/04/us-news/hawaiian-democrat-kirill-basin-arrested-for-threatening-man-with-knife/

A long-shot Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate received a dose of brutal karma last week after he harassed beachgoers at the beach.

Kirill Basin, 40, was caught on camera in his underwear, shouting and threatening people relaxing at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei after a 61-year-old man told him to turn his music down.

At one point, he’s seen walking to a group of people to argue before retreating and saying: “I told him if he wants to go to the hospital, come here.”

But his loud confidence would be silenced soon enough.

He got into an altercation with a large tattooed man, and tried to swing a beach chair at him. But before he could finish his swing, the man threw a powerful right-hand punch and made contact with Basin’s face.

The shot knocked the Hawaii Democrat out cold. The larger fighter rubbed Basin’s sternum until he awoke and made a declaration.

Carlos Collado, a Dominican immigrant who owns five independent grocery stores in the Bronx and Manhattan, has succeeded over the last three decades despite obstacles that he blames on local and state governance.

His stores have faced an increase in shoplifting, he said. The city has provided tax benefits to big corporations that opened grocery stores and took business away from his.

Now, he says, New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, will make it even harder for him and other grocery store and bodega owners to succeed because of his plan to open five city-owned grocers. The mayor announced additional details about the stores this week, which he said will offer produce, meat and seafood for 30% less than typical retail prices.

Existing businesses will not be able to compete, Collado and some others say. But there is also support for Mamdani’s venture, saying that the stores will bring much-need food options into areas of New York city sorely lacking in grocery shops and help with a crisis in soaring food prices that hits some of the city’s most vulnerable families the hardest.

Food costs in the United States have soared in recent years. In June, the average price of ground chuck beef was almost $7 a pound, an 83% increase over June 2016, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the New York-New Jersey area, the consumer price index for food increased 33% from 2015 to 2024, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis.

An off-duty state trooper and an armed civilian have been praised for their 'heroic' actions after saving lives during the terrifying In-N-Out shooting in Idaho.

The courageous men, who have not been named, both fired shots at the suspect, Chad Williams, after he opened fire at the restaurant on Saturday around 2.30pm in Twin Falls, Police Chief Matthew Hicks said.

'We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident,' Hicks said during a press conference on Sunday.

'We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.'

The civilian was seen pointing his gun at Williams while he aimed a camouflaged AR-style rifle at innocent customers and employees in the drive-thru and parking lot, footage showed.

Williams, 24, killed three people, including a beloved employee, the franchise owner revealed.

Seven others were left injured in the rampage. Two of them were taken to the hospital and later released, the agency said.

Haitian immigrants report to Ohio ICE office, exit with ankle monitors -
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2026/08/02/100percentofchomosarelgbtq/91140896007/

BLUE ASH, OH – Several Haitian residents reported to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in suburban Cincinnati on Sunday, Aug. 2, and at least two people were given ankle monitors.

Many Haitians who reside in Ohio have received "call-in letters" from the Department of Homeland Security in the last two weeks after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowed the Trump administration to end their legal immigration status.

Between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Sunday, The Enquirer saw four people go into the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations field office in Blue Ash for appointments and three people exit.

Samantha Searles, who works with Ignite Peace, a Cincinnati-based organization that advocates for peace and justice, said five or six Haitian residents entered the office as of 10 a.m. Searles said residents had received call-in letters for appointments until 2 p.m.

A choice between an ankle monitor or self-deporting
Philbert Viaud, a Haitian resident of Columbus, left the office with an ankle monitor. Viaud said ICE officials transferred his information to a field office near Columbus and told him to go there for an appointment on Aug. 12. He said he has been applying for asylum for the past four years.

>WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday sharply criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s assessment that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of shoddy construction and not the work of vandals, as he claims.

>Pirro’s office, in a court filing on Friday, moved to drop criminal charges against a former Olympian, David Hearn, who had been accused of deliberately damaging the pool after it underwent a renovation ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration last month.

>Trump, in a posting on social media, acknowledged that there “may have been some contractor difficulty” in the installation of a new pool liner. But he continues to insist “the major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

>“I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool,” Trump added in his post.

>The dismissal was an embarrassing setback for a Justice Department that had previously echoed Trump’s claims and billed the prosecution as accountability for damage at a Washington landmark, a pet project of Trump. Pirro’s decision to drop the case is also a rare moment during Trump’s second term of an aide or political appointee openly defying him.

>The president, without providing any clear new evidence, continued to allege on Saturday that the majority of the damage to the pool was caused by vandals.

I'm not a huge footballer fan, but many people, Argentinians, seemed confused by some kind of huge drop in popularity. I don't remember when exactly I saw it, but I think it was pictures of their star messy guy making chokehold gestures, and I don't remember seeing any choking or raping of his wife during half time or anything, but possibly that changed the story from left foot goals or something.

>Argentinian President Javier Milei has signed an emergency decree empowering the government to eject foreigners who spread “hate” about the South American nation.

>The legality of the measure, signed on Thursday, has already been questioned by experts. The decree allows the government to bar, deport or revoke the visas of those who express “hate” or tarnish national symbols.

>In announcing the measure, Milei’s office addressed the global animus Argentina faced after its appearance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

>The country reached the final match of the tournament, but its second-place finish was tarnished by accusations of racism among its players and fans. Milei framed that backlash as a campaign to discredit the country.

>“In light of recent displays of hostility toward the Argentine Republic and Argentines, the national government reaffirms that the defence of the nation, its citizens and its symbols is non-negotiable,” the president’s office said.

>“Anyone who attacks the Argentine Republic is not welcome in our country.”
