Epstein files feature Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson in released photos
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
The U.S. Justice Department on Friday began releasing a long-awaited cache of records from its investigations into the politically explosive case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein -- though much of the material remained heavily redacted.
Among the trove are numerous photographs depicting former U.S. Democratic president Bill Clinton and other luminaries, including Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson, in Epstein’s social circle.
The sweeping blackouts across many of the documents -- combined with tight control over the release by officials in U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration -- stoked skepticism over whether this disclosure will silence conspiracy theories of a high-level cover-up.

In one example, seven pages listing 254 masseuses have every name buried beneath thick black bars alongside the note, “redacted to protect potential victim information.”
Even so, the files shed some light on the disgraced financier’s intimate ties to the rich, famous, and powerful -- Trump among them.
At least one file contains dozens of censored images of naked or scantily clad figures. Others show Epstein and companions, their faces obscured, posing with firearms.
Previously unseen photographs include one of a youthful-looking Clinton lounging in a hot tub, part of the image blacked out by a stark rectangle.
In another, Clinton swims alongside a dark-haired woman who appears to be Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. And Maxwell is seen in a separate image with disgraced former prince Andrew, pictured lying across the legs of five people.
A ‘fraction’ of the evidence
The White House wasted no time seizing on Clinton’s appearances.
“Slick Willy! @BillClinton just chillin, without a care in the world. Little did he know...” Communications Director Steven Cheung posted on X.
But Democrats voiced frustration that the release fell far short of what was mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the new federal law requiring the government’s entire case file be posted publicly by Friday, constrained only by legal and victim privacy concerns.
“This set of heavily redacted documents released by the Department of Justice today is just a fraction of the whole body of evidence,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

“Simply releasing a mountain of blacked-out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law. For example, all 119 pages of one document were completely blacked out.”
Other Democrats in the U.S. Congress said the government had withheld a draft indictment prepared after the financier’s 2019 arrest, which they say would implicate “other rich and powerful men who were on Epstein’s rape island.”
Trump, who once counted his Palm Beach, Florida neighbor as a close friend, spent months trying to block the disclosure of the files on Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
U.S. Department of Justice
The Republican U.S. president ultimately bowed to mounting pressure from U.S. Congress -- including members of his own party -- and last month signed the law compelling publication of the materials by Friday.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said several hundred thousand documents would be published on deadline day, with many more to follow in the coming weeks.
Prosecutors retain discretion to withhold material tied to active investigations, and Blanche said files had also been redacted to protect the identities of Epstein’s hundreds of victims.
‘Democrat hoax’
Trump once moved in the same Palm Beach and New York party scene as Epstein, appearing with him at events throughout the 1990s. He severed ties years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest and faces no accusations of wrongdoing in the case.

But his right-wing base has long fixated on the Epstein saga and conspiracy theories alleging the financier ran a sex trafficking ring for the global elite.
On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to release all the files. Yet after returning to office, he dismissed the transparency push as a “Democrat hoax.”
Trump’s Justice Department ignited a political firestorm in July with a memo declaring there would be no further disclosures from the Epstein probe and his fabled “client list” did not exist.
Trump then waged a fight against U.S. Congress’s drive to make the records public before relenting.
Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, remains the only person convicted in connection with his crimes, and is serving a 20-year sentence for recruiting underage girls for the former teacher and banker, whose death was ruled a suicide.

Saskatchewan RCMP reports multiple collisions due to icy conditions and blowing snow
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
Saskatchewan RCMP is reporting multiple collisions east of Balgonie on Friday due to icy conditions and zero visibility due to blowing snow.
According to a news release just before 4 p.m., RCMP said the Highway 10 overpass directing travel to Yorkton is “sheer ice” with vehicles unable to drive on it.
As of 4:30 p.m., Highway 10 from Balgonie to Fort Qu’Appelle is closed due to ice, loose snow, snow drifts, swirling snow, and drifting snow, according to the Highway Hotline.
Highway 11 is closed between Aylesbury and Davidson with several vehicles in the ditch, RCMP said. As well, the RCMP said an officer who is out responding to a collision reported a whiteout on the road.
The RCMP is advising drivers to avoid non-essential travelling on the highways and to stay home and stay safe. If travel is necessary, RCMP advises drivers to check Highway Hotline to see what roads have recently received maintenance.
Earlier in the afternoon, RCMP officers also reported that two semi units were jack-knifed across Highway 10 on the Regina side of the Qu’Appelle Valley.
Youth accused in Regina swatting incident appears in court
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
A 14-year-old youth made a court appearance in provincial court this week in connection with a swatting incident.
“Swatting” is the practice of making a false report to police which then results in either emergency services teams or a special weapons and tactics team to be deployed to a specific address.
On Sept. 19, the Regina Police Service received a call of a firearms related incident in southwest Regina.
The tactical support unit was dispatched, only to find out there was no threat as initially reported to police.
Nobody was seriously harmed during the incident.
The youth is scheduled to make their next appearance in court on Jan. 14, 2025.
Missing person from Moose Jaw found dead, man faces murder charge
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
One person has been charged with second-degree murder in the recent death of a 42-year-old woman from Moose Jaw.
Tiffany Ellert, who was last seen by her friends and family during the evening of Dec. 9, was reported to the police as missing on Dec. 14, according to the Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS).
On Thursday, the MJPS responded to a call at a residence on South Hill, where she was found dead. The MJPS immediately deemed the death suspicious.
Through an investigation, police arrested 56-year-old Todd Donaldson in connection with her death.
He was charged with second degree murder and made his first appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Friday. The investigation is continuing, according to police.
The MJPS say Ellert’s next of kin have been notified.
Nuts recalled in Ontario over possible salmonella contamination
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a recall for two nut-related products sold in Ontario due to possible salmonella contamination.
The agency says the recall covers two products, Arnie’s All Natural Raw Mix Nuts and Arnie’s Sweet and Savoury Mix, both sold from Nov. 1 to Dec. 2.
The recalled products were sold and distributed from several locations in Barrie, Brampton and Vaughan.
The CFIA says the recall was triggered by standard inspection activities, and no one has reported to have been sickened from consuming the nut products.
Consumers are asked not to eat the affected products, but to either discard them or return them to the point of purchase.
The CFIA warns that salmonella contaminated products may not look or smell spoiled but can make people ill, with people with weakened immune systems, young children and pregnant women especially vulnerable to serious infections.
Flu cases surge across Canada, public health agency reports
Date: Dec 19, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
Influenza continues to increase quickly across the country, according to the latest data released by Health Canada.
For the week ending Dec. 13, the health agency reported that flu activity was “high and increasing,” with 27.7 per cent of tests being positive. This marks the highest value of positive tests recorded in the last three seasons, passing the 27.6 per cent of positive tests reported in the week ending Feb. 15, 2025.
According to Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at the Toronto General Hospital, this flu season appears more significant than previous ones.
Bogoch says this is because of the three viruses that are currently circulating: two are influenza A, H3N2 and H1N1, and one is influenza B. He says the H3N2 flu strain is the predominant one.
“Years that are H3N2 dominant tend to put more pressure on (the) health-care system,” Bogoch told CTVNews.ca in an interview Friday. “They tend to be more significant and tougher compared to an average flu year.”
According to the latest data, the percentage of positive tests for COVID-19 was stable in the recent reporting week, while the percentage of positive tests for RSV is slowly increasing, but is below expected levels.
However, the number of flu-related outbreaks is increasing, with 284 reported. Of those outbreaks, 65 per cent were associated with influenza.
The rate of respiratory viral hospitalizations reported by participating provinces and territories is also increasing: the number of hospitalizations for the week ending Dec. 13 is more than 2,700, compared to nearly 2,000 reported the week ending Dec. 6.
According to FluWatchers, a volunteer program that helps track the activity of common viruses in Canada, the percentage of FluWatchers reporting cough and fever is higher than any week of the past three seasons.
For Bogoch, he says the take home message is that it is not too late to get the flu vaccine.
“The risk factors for severe illness are the older and younger cohorts, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions ... but even if you don’t have risk factors, influenza can still cause a really nasty illness. People can get very sick from it,” he said.
“The vaccine is not perfect, we know it’s not perfect, but it can still reduce the risk of getting the infection and even if you do get the infection, it can still mitigate the severity for symptoms.”
Drug alert issued over fentanyl in Regina
Date: Dec 18, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
A drug/overdose alert was sent out by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health on Thursday morning following an overdose in Regina.
A sample from the incident was tested at the Newo-Yotina Friendship Centre and contained dangerous levels of fentanyl and benzodiazepines. Six doses of naloxone and transport to the hospital were required.
The alert indicated that sufficient naloxone will reduce the effects of fentanyl and other opioids, but will not reverse the effects of benzodiazepines.
This combination of opioids may be smoked, swallowed, sniffed and/or injected. Using these substances carries a high risk of overdose and death. The combined substances look like pinkish purple chunks and is being sold as fentanyl.
Use of illegally acquired drugs poses health risks, including overdose and death. Some risks can be reduced, but not eliminated, by:
Getting a Take Home Naloxone Kit. Call HealthLine 811 to find locations.
Calling the National Overdose Response Service at 1-888-688-NORS (6677) if you are alone.
The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act protects individuals who seek emergency help during an overdose or who witness an overdose.

Prince Albert Grand Council calls for answers after video surfaces of man lying in snow
Date: Dec 18, 2025 Posted By: New Room
SHARE ON:
The Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) is calling for answers after a video circulated online of a man in a vulnerable state lying outside in the snow.
Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte says the incident was concerning.
“Winter. You know, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mild weather, a person could still die from the exposure of the cold weather.”
The video was posted on Facebook and shows an individual lying in the snow. A separate video attached to the post shows security officers with an individual.
Police verified the post in question was related to an incident last week.
Prince Albert Police say shortly before 11 p.m. on Dec. 11 officers were called to the 2300 block of 10th Avenue West and found an intoxicated man lying in the snow.
The police service said it ensured he received medical evaluation, adding that it was discovered he had been evicted from a property before officers got there.
Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte says the man had been kicked out of Victoria Hospital by security.
He wants the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to assess the actions of security staff during the incident.
“That shouldn’t happen in this day and age,” said Hardlotte. “Especially in the hospital setting. So, concerning. So, things we’re going to ask for changes. We’re hoping that the Saskatchewan Health Authority works with us on this one.”
The SHA said it has met with PAGC, continues to collaborate with police, and is completing an internal review.
