The Epstein files reveal an unexpected connection to Côte d'Ivoire's political elite. New documents show hundreds of emails exchanged between Jeffrey Epstein and Nina Keita, niece of President Ouattara and a senior official in the Ivorian government’s oil sector.

The Pentagon is asking Congress to rewrite federal law so the Department of Defense becomes the Department of War — a change that could cost taxpayers $52 million. Renaming the department and changing “secretary of defense” to “secretary of war” also would require 7,600 changes to federal law.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he would advise his children against living or studying in the United States at the moment, citing a rapidly changing social climate and limited opportunities even for the highly educated.

Why does a high government official, who is also the niece of the President of Côte d'Ivoire, appear in the Epstein files?
