Donald Trump has threatened to sue Trevor Noah following remarks made by the comedian at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Trump’s threat came after Noah joked about him wanting Greenland, implying a connection to Jeffrey Epstein. In a Truth Social post, Trump denied ever visiting Epstein Island, calling Noah “poor, pathetic, talentless, dope” and accusing him of making false and defamatory statements. The comedian’s comments and Trump’s reaction occurred shortly after the release of redacted Jeffrey Epstein files, in which Trump’s name was mentioned on several occasions. While acknowledging he knew Epstein in the 1980s and 1990s, Trump has consistently denied…

The rapper hit back at Noah with a homophobic slur, writing on X: “Trevor refuses to come out the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly.” Her post on X comes after Noah, who hosted Sunday’s ceremony, mixed comedy with politics during the ceremony, taking a swipe at Nicki Minaj for her absence while drawing a pointed connection to former US president Donald Trump. While opening the show, Noah joked that Minaj was “still at the…

Keir Starmer said on Saturday that the former Prince Andrew should appear before a US congressional committee, following fresh revelations about his continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein’s conviction. New files released Friday by the US Justice Department show Andrew maintained regular communication with Epstein for more than two years after the financier was jailed in 2008 for soliciting sex from a minor. The documents also include redacted images appearing to show Andrew touching the waist of an unidentified woman lying on the floor. Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has denied wrongdoing and previously said his only post-conviction…

Between 8,000 and 10,000 people took part in an emotional silent march in Copenhagen on Saturday, organised by Denmark’s Veterans’ Association, to protest comments by US President Donald Trump that were seen as downplaying the role of non-US NATO troops in Afghanistan. The association had expected just over a thousand participants, but Danes turned out in large numbers despite subzero temperatures, marching in support of veterans and in memory of the 44 Danish soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan. Police told AFP they estimated the crowd was “at least 10,000,” while organisers put the figure at between 8,000 and…

Bill Gates has forcefully denied allegations contained in a draft email written by Jeffrey Epstein claiming Gates sought medication for an STD allegedly contracted from sex with “Russian girls.” In a rare statement, a spokesperson for the Microsoft co-founder said the claims are “absolutely absurd and completely false,” adding that the documents instead show Epstein’s frustration over not having an ongoing relationship with Gates and his attempts to “entrap and defame.” The assertions appeared in emails Epstein sent to himself on July 18, 2013. Those messages were among hundreds of thousands of files released by the US Department of Justice…

President Donald Trump is weighing options for possible military action against Iran, but a senior Gulf official says Saudi Arabia will not allow the United States to use its airspace or bases for such an attack. The official told Fox News that Washington has not shared concrete objectives or operational plans with Gulf allies, despite recent high-level Saudi meetings in the US seeking clarity. The source said any US military movement would follow routes “other than using Saudi airspace,” stressing Riyadh’s long-standing position that its territory will not be used for wars it is not directly part of. The stance…
