The incident was first reported by Politico. The airplane was within the air between 20 and half-hour when one of many engines failed and the pilot of the plane determined to show round and return to New Orleans airport, Politico reported. The airplane was reportedly in path to Palm Seaside, Florida, the place Trump resides at his Mar-a-Lago property. 

Audio communications between the pilot and air site visitors management personnel, in accordance with a supply who spoke with the outlet, described the touchdown as “emergency in nature.”

A Trump spokesman informed Fox Information that Trump’s Boeing 757 from the 2016 marketing campaign is being completely refurbished – together with new engines and new inside – and that the airplane must be in operation once more within the coming weeks or months.

The reconstruction of the airplane, dubbed Trump Drive One by the previous president and his cohorts, was touted in an e mail despatched to his supporters this week. That e mail requested recipients in the event that they “wish to see the brand new Trump Drive One” and linked to a WinRed contribution web page.

The bodies of two Georgia firefighters who recently broke off their relationship were found on Sunday in Tennessee, more than one week after they went missing, officials said.

The Hinesville Police Department confirmed the discovery of Raegan Anderson, 25, and her ex-boyfriend, Chandler Kuhbander, 24, in Cocke County, about 450 miles north of their hometown. Their bodies were found in Anderson’s vehicle.

Kuhbander’s mother, Jane Kuhbander, told Court TV last week that they had been together for more than seven years before ending the “toxic” union.

Anderson, Jane said, struggled to accept the end of the relationship and repeatedly threatened to kill herself.

Her son, she said, had gone on a date with another woman on June 23, the day before he disappeared, and Anderson allegedly found his car and keyed it.

She was arrested for the crime and later bonded out. Anderson believed she was likely to lose her job with the fire department and expressed her spiraling fears to Kuhbander.

The following day, Kuhbander went to work out at a Crunch Fitness center in Savannah, Georgia, and planned to later attend his younger sister’s birthday party.

Surveillance cameras show Anderson circling the parking lot outside several times while he was inside, the mother said.

However, the mother said she believes he got into her 2017 Ford Focus under “duress” – and was never heard from again.

Prior to the discovery of the bodies, she told the network that Anderson was not in the right “head space” and wrote a suicide note to her son the day before they vanished.

In a Facebook post, she described Anderson as a “danger to herself and [her son] is believed to not be with her willingly.”

Despite their breakup, Kuhbander continued to try to comfort Anderson but was sometimes forced to plead with her to stop harassing him.

“He’s very driven to do the right thing and make sure people are safe,” she told Court TV. “He really does care about Raegan.”

Days later, they were both found dead.

An autopsy will be performed on the Liberty County firefighters to determine their manner of death.

“Details pertaining to the discovery of their bodies, vehicle and events leading to their deaths are not available at this time,” police said after the bodies were found.

Kuhbander’s shattered sister wrote a tribute to her sibling on Facebook.

“Trying to find the words to say goodbye but i can’t. It’s tearing me apart to even think about not having you here. Never in my life did I think I would have to be doing life without you,” she wrote. “It’s always been my two big brothers but now it’s just me and Xander. We will honor you in every way possible. No one will ever not know who you are and how good of a person you are. I love you forever bub.”

“We offer our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved them,” the governor reportedly added.

Epstein grand jury records released, describe trafficker's network for 'grooming' underage girls

Published

on

Graphic content warning

Jeffrey Epstein, the sex-trafficking financier who died in federal custody while awaiting trial, had a network of groomed girls in Palm Beach, Florida, recruiting victims for him as far back as 2005, according to newly unsealed grand jury transcripts from a child trafficking case that he largely escaped with a slap on the wrist nearly 20 years ago.

The 176-page document contains new details about Epstein’s crimes, including specifics about cash payouts to teens who recruited one another for Epstein’s misdeeds, firsthand accounts from child sex-assault victims, and allegations of rape.

Palm Beach police initially opened the case after a fight between girls at a local high school, according to the transcript. One, just 16, had been accused of prostitution by a classmate, and a school official later found $300 in her purse, which originally came from Epstein, according to the documents. 

She testified that she had been instructed to concoct a fake life story and pretend to be 18 to get $200 to give Epstein a massage before the first time she met him. Then she revealed she was asked to strip down to her underwear and had a graphic sexual encounter with him.

In a court order authorizing the release of the documents, Circuit Judge Luis Delgado warned that the contents were disturbing.

“It is widely accepted that Epstein is a notorious and serial pedophile,” the order reads. “The testimony taken by the Grand Jury concerns activity ranging from grossly unacceptable to rape – all of the conduct at issue is sexually deviant, disgusting, and criminal.   The details in the record will be outrageous to decent people.”

Joseph Abruzzo, who serves as Palm Beach County’s court clerk and comptroller, announced the release of the documents shortly before 3 p.m. on Monday, hours after a new Florida law took effect legalizing the release of grand jury materials in certain cases. Grand jury proceedings are typically kept secret.

The transcript shows that prosecutors asked the victims if they were aware that they may have committed the crime of prostitution and did not describe Epstein as a “pedophile” in questioning before the grand jury.

An investigator on the witness stand, however, referenced a March 14, 2005, phone call from a victim’s mother who was concerned about “sexual activity” involving her step-daughter.

“What had occurred was that [redacted] had gotten into a fight at [redacted] School,” the doc explains. “And subsequently, after the fight, they discovered $300 in her purse.”

“When questioning the $300, she had told ’em that she had received it from a man in Palm Beach.”

The girl explained to a detective that she was taken to a house to massage “a wealthy man in Palm Beach,” – and the documents identified the man as Epstein.

On page 102 of the document, a search of Jeffrey Epstein’s home found that a dildo was found in a bedroom. In earlier testimony, one of his underage accusers said he had offered her an extra $100 – on top of $200 for a massage – if she’d let him use a similar toy on her.

The documents also reveal one of Epstein’s victims being interviewed about the money she was given for acts she performed.

“And I was like, I got $300,” the girl said. “And I was like, kind – I was excited. $300.”

One victim disclosed that she was 17 years old when she had sex with Epstein. The encounter took place on the day before her 18th birthday. Another said she was in her early teens when the financier used a sex toy on her and masturbated.

“And for my birthday he gave me, like, a couple [of] bras and panties,” the victim said. She was also asked to stay in the room while Epstein had sex with Nadia Marcinko.

When asked if she wanted to have sexual intercourse with him, the victim answered no but said that it was “stupid of [her] to put myself in that situation.” A juror also asked the question, “Did he take away from your person, your being, your spirit?”

“Yes,” she replied. The witness also told jurors that she Epstein was well aware of her age at the time, but did not want to testify against Epstein.

“I would like to put it behind me for the most part,” she said. “I was successful until about two days ago.”

Jury proceedings also revealed that a witness saw Epstein sexually assault a stripper.

“When Jeffrey entered [redacted], did she ask him to stop at all?”

“She screaming no,” the witness replied. The witness also added that he later apologized and offered her a thousand dollars in return.

The documents also mention former President Bill Clinton, who knew Epstein. It was in relation to a girl mentioning the former president on her blog, according to the investigator on the witness stand.

“There is a notion on one of her blogs, that she says she would like to meet Bill Clinton this week, because – and this is in quotes now – ‘Someone could be so famous for sucking his d–k; that’s how famous I could be.’” 

She did not accuse the former president of wrongdoing or indicate that she’d actually met him.

Recalled to the stand, Palm Beach Detective Joe Recarey testified that investigators found evidence that one of Epstein’s “assistants,” as his groomers were known, recruited a 23-year-old woman for Epstein, but he turned her away.

“He told her, the younger, the better,” he testified. “She brought a 23-year-old to massage him, and he told her that she was too old and he wanted someone younger.”

Epstein received a lenient punishment of just 13 months for the 2005 child sex case. As a result, a group of accusers in February announced a lawsuit against the FBI, alleging it failed to properly investigate him at the time, allowing him to continue harming children and young women for years.
