http://youtu.be/Spadmc8qRSg
Bill Clinton had an affair with British-born socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who is accused of helping recruit underage victims for notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a blockbuster new book.
The ex-president — who denies cheating on wife Hillary Clinton with Maxwell — reportedly engaged in the romps during overseas trips on Epstein’s private plane, a customized Boeing 727 that’s since become known as the “Lolita Express.”
The nation’s 42nd head of state also repeatedly sneaked out to visit Maxwell at her Upper East Side townhouse, as detailed in this exclusive excerpt.

Video doesn’t appear to show George Floyd resisting arrest as cops claimed | New York Post
http://youtu.be/x9Tqs06YN_A
Surveillance video does not appear to show George Floyd, who died after being pinned down by Minneapolis cops, resisting arrest — which police had claimed — in the moments before the deadly encounter.
Floyd, who is black, can be seen on footage from a nearby restaurant Monday complying with cops as he’s led from a vehicle, CBS News reported.
With his hands cuffed behind his back, he appears to be ordered to sit on the ground, which he does, video shows.
The footage contradicts police accounts that Floyd “physically resisted officers” after he exited his vehicle.
