Epstein, Tinder, and Temple: Wild Week in Politics!

Here's a news article synthesizing the provided information:

Clintons to Testify in Epstein Probe; Florida Candidate Uses Tinder for Campaigning; Other News

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, days before a vote on whether to hold them in criminal contempt for refusing to appear before the House Oversight Committee, according to BBC World News. The Clintons' agreement came after a months-long standoff. Bill Clinton is scheduled for a deposition on February 27, and Hillary Clinton on February 26, BBC World News reported.

The investigation surrounds the late Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. Bill Clinton has acknowledged acquaintance with Epstein but denied any knowledge of his sex offending, stating he ended contact two decades ago, according to BBC World News.

In other news, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) removed thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein from its website after victims said their identities had been compromised, BBC World News reported. Lawyers for Epstein's victims stated that flawed redactions in the files released on Friday had "turned upside down" the lives of nearly 100 survivors. The release included email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of potential victims could be identified. Survivors issued a statement calling the disclosure "outrageous" and said they should not be "named, according to BBC World News.

Meanwhile, in Florida, James Fishback, a Republican candidate for governor, launched a Tinder account to campaign to young female voters, Fox News reported. Fishback, a 31-year-old investment firm CEO, announced his campaign move on X. "Ive joined Tinder to meet young female voters where they are, and share my plan to make it easier for them to get married, buy a home, and raise a family," he wrote, according to Fox News. He included a screenshot of his profile, highlighting his "hottest take" that "Florida should offer paid maternity leave to all moms."

In Minnesota, a Temple University student, Jerome Richardson, surrendered on federal charges tied to an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul church that also involved journalist Don Lemon, Fox News reported. Richardson, a senior majoring in political science set to graduate in May, "helped Lemon with logistics and local contacts and appeared in a video before his arrest saying he supported the protest as a matter of conscience and faith," according to The Temple News, as reported by Fox News. The charges are related to a case involving Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and activist. The White House faced criticism for posting a manipulated photo of her arrest to its official social media account, depicting her as hysterical, according to the New York Times.
