Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

STARMER CALLS ON FORMER PRINCE ANDREW TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS OVER EPSTEIN CONNECTIONS. (PHOTO).



 Starmer calls on former Prince Andrew to testify before Congress over Epstein connections

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before a U.S. congressional committee regarding his connections to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, following the release of photographs showing the former royal appearing to kneel over a woman on the ground.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday during his visit to Asia, Starmer emphasized that anyone with relevant information should be willing to share it with investigators. “You can’t be victim-centered if you’re not prepared to do that,” he said, signaling a firmer stance than his previous comments in November, when he left the decision to Mountbatten-Windsor’s discretion.

Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew and the Duke of York, was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles III in October amid scrutiny over his ties to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. The former prince is also set to move from his 30-room Royal Lodge residence in Windsor to a smaller property on the Sandringham estate.

The photographs, released Friday as part of more than three million files made public by the Justice Department, show Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling over a fully clothed woman in an unidentified location, with one image capturing him on all fours next to her. The woman’s face has been redacted. The release also included a 2010 email exchange between Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor, providing additional context on their long-standing relationship.

Mountbatten-Windsor has denied all allegations of sexual abuse and any wrongdoing tied to his association with Epstein. Legal filings previously stated that Epstein trafficked Virginia Roberts Giuffre, then 17, to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor around 2001.

Other figures were implicated in the released documents, including former British ambassador Peter Mandelson, who was shown in an image wearing only underwear alongside a woman in a bathrobe and was fired in September due to Epstein's links. International repercussions followed as well: in Slovakia, Prime Minister Robert Fico accepted the resignation of national security adviser Miroslav Lajcak after released messages revealed discussions with Epstein regarding women and meetings with Russian officials.
