Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak apologized for his long friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, while former US President Donald Trump stated that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen," as revealed in separate reports. Meanwhile, actor Jeremy Piven discussed the potential for his "Entourage" character, Ari Gold, to exist in today's Hollywood, and a new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled. Additionally, Prince Andrew is facing accusations of sharing a Treasury document with a banking contact.
Ehud Barak's apology, according to Euronews, stemmed from his years-long friendship with Epstein, which included regular correspondence, visits to Epstein's Manhattan apartment, and a trip to his private island. Barak stated he never witnessed or participated in any inappropriate behavior, and he believed Epstein had paid his debt to society.
Donald Trump's remarks, reported by Sky News, came after a visit to troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. He justified the US's decision to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, stating, "we'll need it" if a deal isn't reached with Iran. Trump was responding to questions about whether he wanted to see a change in government in Iran.
Actor Jeremy Piven, speaking to Fox News Digital, discussed the potential for his "Entourage" character, Ari Gold, to still exist in today's Hollywood. Piven, who played Gold for all eight seasons of the show, said, "Not only could he exist, but it would be fascinating to watch him navigate." He added, "I think that's a great comedic premise."
In technology news, the "John Wick" franchise is being turned into a video game, as reported by BBC Technology. The game, currently titled "Untitled John Wick Game," will feature the likeness and voice of Keanu Reeves and is being developed by Saber Interactive, with input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski. A trailer for the game, expected to be a prequel, was unveiled at PlayStation's "State of Play" showcase.
Finally, Prince Andrew is facing accusations of sharing an official document, according to BBC Business. Emails published in the Telegraph suggest that in 2010, Prince Andrew requested information from Treasury officials on banking problems in Iceland. This briefing was then shared with Jonathan Rowland, a business contact whose father took over part of a failing Icelandic bank. This has increased pressure on the former prince over claims of misusing his public role.
