Epstein Files Drop, Clintons Testify, Disney Shakes Up, and Cherub Mystery!

Epstein Files Released, Clintons Agree to Testify, Disney Names New CEO, and More

A new batch of Jeffrey Epstein files was released by the Justice Department, revealing connections to prominent figures including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and former Prince Andrew, according to CBS News. The documents, released on Friday, came more than 40 days after the December 19 legal deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed by President Trump in November. Earlier releases included emails and photos of figures like President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, and Larry Summers, none of whom have been accused of wrongdoing. CBS News is independently reviewing the documents in collaboration with other journalists.

In other news, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, CBS News reported. This agreement came ahead of expected House votes on holding the pair in contempt of Congress. In an email to the committee on Monday, the Clintons' legal team stated that the former president and former secretary of state "accept the terms of your letter and will appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates." The email, obtained by CBS News, also requested confirmation that the House would not proceed with contempt proceedings, as indicated by the Chairman's letter. Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, who chairs the oversight panel, confirmed that the Clintons' counsel agreed to the testimony.

Meanwhile, The Walt Disney Company announced that Josh D'Amaro will become the company's next CEO in March, replacing Bob Iger, ABC News reported. Dana Walden will become the company's president and chief creative officer. D'Amaro, who joined Disney in 1998, currently chairs Disney's experiences unit, overseeing a global network of theme parks, hotel resorts, cruise ships, and consumer products. He will formally assume the CEO role on March 18 at Disney's upcoming annual meeting. "Josh DAmaro is an exceptional leader and the right person to become our next CEO," Iger said in a statement, according to ABC News.

In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro is focusing on fraud prevention, particularly regarding Medicaid fraud, Fox News reported. Shapiro will announce a "landmark false claims clampdown" targeting Medicaid fraud and providers that wrongfully use tax dollars in his Budget Address on Tuesday. According to Fox News, Shapiro has supported crackdowns on social services fraud since he was attorney general.

In Italy, a mysterious cherub face resembling Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has appeared in a restored fresco in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina, prompting an investigation, Fox News reported. The cherub, part of a fresco depicting angels honoring Italy's King Umberto II, is shown in a deferential pose toward the king. The Associated Press reported that some people are interpreting the cherub's likeness to Meloni as a political statement.
