Nigel Farage testified in front of Congress, criticizing the UK’s online safety and hate speech regulations while labeling the country as “autocratic.” His appearance sparked questions about his identity and intentions, with some questioning his patriotism. Farage assured that he would not speak negatively about Britain to foreign leaders. Meanwhile, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein held a press conference in Capitol Hill advocating for the unsealing of Epstein files. GB News hosted a launch event near the White House with notable attendees. Farage faced criticism during the hearing, being labeled as a “far-right, pro-Putin politician” and a “Donald Trump imitator.” There was tension between him and Democrat Jamie Raskin over freedom of speech discussions in the UK. Raskin warned against supporting Farage’s agenda. Trump’s meeting with Farage and his response to calls for releasing Epstein files stirred further controversy. The push for transparency on the Epstein case continues, with bipartisan efforts in Congress. Trump’s statements on deploying troops to US cities raised concerns among local officials. The president’s upcoming discussions with Zelensky on the Russia-Ukraine conflict were also highlighted.
