Savannah Guthrie Sobs: ‘Was Mom Taken Because of Me?’

In a wrenching Today sit-down with Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie broke down over her mother Nancy’s presumed kidnapping, admitting she fears her own public profile and money may have made Nancy a target. “Do you think it’s because of me?” she recalled asking her brother Camron. “I hope not… we don’t know,” she said through tears, before apologizing to her family: “I’m so sorry, Mommy.”

RFK Jr. Calls This "Fraud." Meet the 11-Year-Old He's Talking About.

A woman named Simone reached out to me this week. We’ve been Facebook friends for a while — she followed me because she was trying to understand how people survive losing a child. I want you to sit with that for a second. She wasn’t looking for a politician. She wasn’t looking for a nonprofit. She was scrolling through the rubble of her life trying to find someone who had made it to the other side.

Michael Wolff Was Epstein’s Fixer, and Now He and Michael Cohen Want to Discredit the People Reading the Files

Michael Wolff arrived on Substack like a hero. He had 100 hours of recorded interviews with Jeffrey Epstein, insider access to the darkest corners of the network, and the credibility of a bestselling author who had gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump. Then 1,800 pages of his emails with Epstein were released, and the picture changed completely. “You start to see this different side of Michael Wolff,” Leonard said. “He’s getting manuscripts for books about Epstein before they’re published and trying to warn Epstein. He’s helping with Wikipedia cleanups. He’s trying to crush Nick Kristof’s reputation. You realize he has become Jeffrey Epstein’s fixer.” Wolff arranged dinners with Woody Allen, caught and killed stories about Epstein’s sex trafficking history, and coached Epstein on counter-narratives — all while presenting himself as a journalist. He even tried to discredit Julie K. Brown’s Miami Herald investigation, the very reporting that led to Epstein’s arrest. And those 100 hours of interviews? Nobody has ever heard them. Leonard believes the recordings contain material that would damage Wolff’s reputation and undermine his franchise of writing about Trump — who was, after all, the subject Epstein was most willing to discuss.

Russia Keeps Installing Emergency Comms. Ukraine Keeps Blowing Them Up.

Blowing up Russia’s wireless repeaters, Ukraine is working to prolong its connectivity advantage. Recent footage of Ukrainian drone strikes on tower-mounter repeaters underscores the value of the repeaters—and their vulnerability. The repeaters, fixed to the tallest tower in a given area, can extend wireless signals across the war zone and allow drone operators to stay connected to their drones even as the drones fly over the horizon.
