Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel maintained that there is no Epstein client list and told the committee he has taken no action to investigate the individuals on Massie’s list.

“Any investigations that arise from any credible investigation will be brought,” Patel said. “There have been no new materials brought to me.”

Media Miss by the left: Hamas requests ceasefire deal in letter sent to Trump

Hamas has penned a letter to Trump saying they’ll release more of the hostages being held in Gaza as long as Israel agrees to a new ceasefire deal.

Hamas said it will immediately release half of the hostages if a 60-day ceasefire deal is reached. While 251 people were taken by Hamas in its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, less than 50 are believed to still be alive.

The proposal comes as Israel has expanded its offensive in Gaza City, and the Gaza Health Ministry said more than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed so far in the war. For more stories missed or minimized by partisan media, head over to our Media Miss archive.
