Lithgow Defends Potter, Trump Allies With Ex-Foe, Epstein's Devilish Interview

Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre acknowledged that Crown Princess Mette-Marit demonstrated "poor judgement" in her interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to BBC World. The admission followed the release of new documents by the U.S. Department of Justice that revealed the princess had extensive contacts with Epstein between 2011 and 2014.

The revelation created an embarrassment for the Norwegian royal family, coinciding with the start of her son's trial in Oslo on 38 charges, including rape and assault, according to BBC World.

In other news, President Donald Trump endorsed former Senator John E. Sununu of New Hampshire for a Senate seat, Fox News reported. Sununu, a Republican, is aiming to reclaim his former position in the 2026 elections. Trump, despite Sununu's past criticism, described him as an "America First Patriot" who "will work tirelessly to advance our America First Agenda," according to Fox News. The endorsement came over former Senator Scott Brown, who also served as one of Trump's ambassadors. The race is considered crucial, potentially determining the Senate majority in the midterm elections, according to Fox News.

Meanwhile, actor John Lithgow defended his decision to join the upcoming HBO series based on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books, despite the author's controversial views on transgender issues, Fox News reported. Lithgow, who is set to play Albus Dumbledore, stated that he took the criticism "extremely seriously" but described Rowling's views as "ironic" given the themes of her fantasy series, according to Fox News. Rowling has faced backlash for her outspoken opposition to transgender ideology and her defense of women-only spaces, according to Fox News.

In Syria, Hind Kabawat, the country's only female minister, is advocating for change as the nation navigates its transition from war to peace, BBC World reported. As the minister for social affairs and labour in the transitional government, Kabawat stated, "On the first day, I asked 'why are there no more women?'" She emphasized her commitment to setting her own strategy and pushing for progress, according to BBC World. Sectarian violence has marred the initial months of the transitional government, with minority communities blaming government forces, according to BBC World. Kabawat was previously an opposition leader in exile, according to BBC World.
