Trump rips ‘pathetic’ Deborah Birx for response to Nancy Pelosi criticism | New York Post
http://youtu.be/PlJNy2u7U3I
President Trump on Monday assailed his White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, tweeting that she only faulted the US COVID-19 response to please Democrats.
Trump’s public rebuke of Birx sharply contrasts with his frequent denial of tension with fellow task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci, who emerged as a hero to Trump critics for his willingness to fault the US pandemic response.

Prince Andrew’s alleged fetishes revealed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre | New York Post
http://youtu.be/TbzQ0t_zc9c
Jeffrey Epstein “sex slave” Virginia Giuffre allegedly spent two days alone with Prince Andrew at the financier’s ranch, “endlessly’’ catering to every need of the royal — who especially enjoyed licking between her toes.
The claims were made in a manuscript that the Epstein accuser wrote about her alleged abuse at the hands of the late multimillionaire, his accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell and rich and powerful men including the prince — part of a trove of court documents released last week amid Maxwell’s battle against sex-trafficking-related charges in Manhattan.
