Trump Accuses Adam Schiff Of Mortgage Fraud

On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump accused former impeachment leader Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) of committing mortgage fraud.

โ€œI have always suspected Shifty Adam Shiff (sic) was a scam artist,โ€ Trump wrote. He then claimed that Fannie Maeโ€™s Financial Crimes Division had determined that Schiff had improperly declared a Maryland home as his primary residence to secure better mortgage terms, despite representing California in Congress.

โ€œAdam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA,โ€ Trump alleged, before outlining what he described as a fraudulent timeline beginning in 2009 and ending in 2020.

According to Trumpโ€™s post, the alleged โ€œfraudโ€ began on February 6, 2009, with the refinancing of a property in Maryland, and continued โ€œthrough multiple transactionsโ€ until October 13, 2020, when the property was finally โ€œcorrectly designated as a second home.โ€ He concluded the post with a familiar refrain: โ€œCrooked Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.โ€

As of Tuesday morning, no independent confirmation of such an investigation has been reported.

Schiffโ€™s ownership of the Maryland property was reported on during his Senate campaign by CNN, which at the time reported that the then-House member wasnโ€™t likely to face any legal repercussions because the law at issue is ambiguous when it comes to the definition of a primary residence.

However, Schiffโ€™s spokesperson during the campaign and his current press secretary, told CNN last year that he has claimed both his properties as primary residences for mortgage purposes โ€œbecause they are both occupied throughout the year and to distinguish them from a vacation property.โ€

The animosity between Trump and Schiff has been swirling for year and dates back to at least 2017, when the California lawmaker emerged as one of Trumpโ€™s most vocal critics during the House Intelligence Committeeโ€™s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Schiff later served as the lead impeachment manager during Trumpโ€™s first impeachment trial in 2020, drawing attacks from the former president, who routinely referred to him as “Pencil Neck” and โ€œShifty Schiff.โ€

Trump Announces He Will Pardon Ex-Honduran President

President Donald Trump announced Friday on Truth Social that he intends to grant a full pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernรกndez, who is currently serving a 45-year sentence in U.S. federal prison on drug trafficking and weapons charges.

Hernรกndez, who led Honduras from 2014 to 2022, was arrested in Tegucigalpa in February 2022 following a U.S. extradition request. He was transferred to New York two months later to face charges that federal prosecutors said stemmed from years of cooperation with major drug cartels. Prosecutors accused him of turning Honduras into a โ€œnarco-state,โ€ alleging that during his presidency he leveraged political power to help move more than 400 tons of cocaine toward the United States in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes. Among those he allegedly interacted with was notorious Mexican cartel leader Joaquรญn โ€œEl Chapoโ€ Guzmรกn.

A federal jury convicted Hernรกndez in March 2024 on three counts related to drug-trafficking and firearms conspiracies. On June 26, 2024, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay an $8 million fine.

In his Friday post, Trump criticized the prosecutionโ€™s handling of the case and suggested Hernรกndez had been treated more harshly than warranted. โ€œI will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,โ€ Trump wrote. โ€œThis cannot be allowed to happen, especially now, after Tito Asfura wins the Election, when Honduras will be on its way to Great Political and Financial Success.โ€

The message reflects Trumpโ€™s increasingly vocal support for Nasry โ€œTitoโ€ Asfura, the conservative National Party candidate in Hondurasโ€™ presidential election. Earlier this week, Trump used Truth Social to praise Asfura, writing that the two โ€œcan work together to fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people of Honduras.โ€

Trumpโ€™s Friday post escalated that endorsement further, urging Hondurans to โ€œVOTE FOR TITO ASFURA FOR PRESIDENT, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN ORLANDO HERNANDEZ ON YOUR UPCOMING PARDON. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE HONDURAS GREAT AGAIN!โ€

He also warned that future U.S. assistance to Honduras could hinge on the electionโ€™s outcome, stating that if Asfura loses, โ€œthe United States will not be throwing good money after bad, because a wrong Leader can only bring catastrophic results to a country, no matter which country it is.โ€

Context: Trumpโ€™s Recent Use of the Pardon Power

The announcement comes amid renewed attention to Trumpโ€™s approach to pardons and commutations, which he has described as an important tool for correcting what he views as systemic unfairness in the U.S. justice system and in politically sensitive prosecutions. In recent months, Trump has signaled his willingness to revisit high-profile cases involving allies, military personnel, and others he says were treated wrongly by federal authorities.

During his first term, Trump issued several controversial pardons, including for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, former adviser Roger Stone, and several U.S. military service members involved in war-related prosecutions. He also pardoned political figures such as former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and longtime conservative commentator Dinesh Dโ€™Souza, citing prosecutorial excess in those cases.

More recently, Trump has publicly floated pardons for individuals prosecuted for actions related to border security and drug enforcement, arguing that some federal casesโ€”particularly those involving international cooperation or politically volatile regionsโ€”deserve closer scrutiny.

Hernรกndezโ€™s case now appears to be the latest example of Trumpโ€™s willingness to intervene where he believes U.S. prosecutors overstepped or failed to account for broader geopolitical considerations.

A Sign of Trumpโ€™s Foreign Policy Priorities

Trumpโ€™s strong backing of Asfura and criticism of the U.S. prosecution of Hernรกndez reflect his broader emphasis on building alliances with conservative governments in Latin America. Throughout his presidency and afterward, Trump has framed left-wing governments in the region as destabilizing forces aligned with organized crime, while praising leaders who adopt pro-business and anti-corruption platforms.

By tying Hernรกndezโ€™s pardon to Hondurasโ€™ political future, Trump is signaling that he views Asfuraโ€™s victoryโ€”and Hondurasโ€™ alignment with the United Statesโ€”as strategically important.

FAA Contractor Pleads Guilty To Spying For Iran

A former Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contractor has pleaded guilty to acting as an agent of Iran.

The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that 42-year-oldย Abouzar Rahmati, a naturalized U.S. citizen and resident of Virginia, pleaded guilty to acting as an agent of Iran by pursuing an FAA job to gain access to information. From 2017 to 2024, Rahmati met withย Iranianย officials, communicated with security officials, and provided โ€œnon-public materials about the U.S. solar energy industry.โ€

According to the DOJ, it was Rahmati who offered his services to Iran:

In August 2017, Rahmati offered his services to the Iranian government through a senior Iranian government official who previously worked in Iranโ€™s Ministry of Intelligence and Security and with whom Rahmati had previously attended university. Four months later, in December 2017, Rahmati traveled to Iran, where he met with Iranian intelligence operatives and government officials and agreed to obtain information about the U.S. solar energy industry, to provide that information to Iranian officials, and to conduct future communications under a cover story based on purported discussions about research with fellow academics.

Rahmati previously was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) 1st Lt., a branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, from June 2009 to May 2010. The IRGC is a designated terrorist group by the U.S. government.

The DOJ said Rahmati offered his services to Iran in August 2017 through a former colleague who was a senior Iranian government official who previously worked at the countryโ€™s Ministry of Intelligence and Security.

Rahmati traveled to Iran four months later and met with intelligence operatives and government officials, the DOJ said. He also agreed to gather and provide Iranian officials with information about the solar industry in the U.S.

Read:

Rahmati provided information โ€œrelating to solar energy, solar panels, the FAA, U.S. airports, and U.S. air traffic control towersโ€ to his brother in Iran, which was then provided to government officials. He also at one point provided information related to โ€œthe National Aerospace System (NAS), Airport Surveillance Radar systems, and radio frequency data.โ€

In early 2018, Rahmati obtained private and open-source materials related to theย U.S. solar industry,ย then provided them to the office of Iranโ€™s Vice President for Science and Technology.

Rahmati is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 26, and he faces a maximum of 10 years in prison for acting as an agent of a foreign government, and up to five years in prison for conspiracy.

The guilty plea comes amidst Presidentย Donald Trumpโ€™sย ongoing nuclearย negotiationsย with Iran in which the president has warned military options are on the table should Iran not agree to never possess a nuclear weapon.

Newsweek Editor Receives Backlash For Calling For Tucker Carlson Should Be โ€˜Neutralizedโ€™

Newsweek senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer came under fire Wednesday after publishing a column that some critics mischaracterized as calling for harm against Tucker Carlson โ€” an accusation Hammer says is rooted in bad faith and deliberate misinterpretation.

In his Daily Mail piece, Hammer criticized Carlson for his recent interview with controversial commentator Nick Fuentes, arguing that Carlsonโ€™s platforming of Fuentesโ€™ โ€œrepugnant beliefsโ€ undermines what Hammer described as โ€œthe forces of civilizational sanity on the MAGA Right.โ€

The line that drew the most attention, however, came at the end of the article:

โ€œThe fox is now comfortably ensconced in the hen house. And unless the fox is neutralized, the victim could be the entire extant GOP coalition itself.โ€

Critics โ€” many of them fellow conservatives โ€” quickly pounced on the word โ€œneutralizedโ€, accusing Hammer of reckless rhetoric, particularly in light of recent violence targeting right-leaning public figures.

Conservative Figures Sound the Alarm Over Dangerous Climate

Among those voicing concern was The Blaze host Jason Whitlock, who called the phrasing โ€œirresponsible,โ€ noting that the statement came just weeks after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. โ€œJosh Hammer calls for Tucker Carlson to be neutralized,โ€ Whitlock wrote on X. โ€œThis is a Keith Olbermann-style Twitter post, not something that should be published by a news outlet. We just witnessed the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This is irresponsible by the Daily Mail.โ€

The article was also condemned by Kirkโ€™s former friendย Candace Owens, whoย wrote, โ€œI cannot believe the @DailyMail allowed this to be published.โ€

Whitlockโ€™s remarks reflect a growing anxiety across conservative media as political violence against the right has intensified. In addition to the shocking murder of Kirk, former President Donald Trump has survived multiple assassination attempts โ€” including a rally shooting this summer that left several attendees wounded. Other conservative officials and commentators have faced threats, doxxing campaigns, and physical harassment in recent months.

Republicans argue that these attacks are part of a broader cultural and political escalation โ€” one amplified by a media ecosystem that downplays or outright ignores violence directed at conservatives, while eagerly condemning right-wing rhetoric as โ€œdangerous.โ€

Hammer Pushes Back: โ€œQuit Lyingโ€

In response to the online backlash, Hammer took to social media to clarify his meaning and denounce what he described as willful misrepresentation.

โ€œOne has to be truly stupid or willfully disingenuous (or both, as the case may be) to think that โ€˜neutralizedโ€™ here means anything other than its most common usages,โ€ he wrote. โ€œQuit lying.โ€

He later posted a screenshot of a dictionary definition of โ€œneutralize,โ€ which reads: โ€œTo make (something) ineffective; counteract; nullify.โ€ Hammer emphasized that his critique of Carlson was political โ€” not personal โ€” and that he was calling for Carlsonโ€™s influence to be curtailed, not for violence of any kind.

Epstein Files Threaten Tp Upend Trump Legacy

Tensions are rising after the Justice Department claimed it had no evidence that notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had a client list, blackmailed powerful people, or was murdered.

Democrats in Congressย sayย they will introduce measures this week to press for the disclosure of files reported to Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender who was found dead at the age of 66 in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after being arrested on sex trafficking charges involving young girls.ย 

Rep.ย Ro Khannaย (D-Calif.) is calling on House Republicans to hold a vote demanding the Trump administration release the โ€œFULL Epstein files.โ€

โ€œWhy are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?โ€ Khanna said in a post on the social platform X over the weekend.

โ€œOn Tuesday, Iโ€™m introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public,โ€ he continued. โ€œThe Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.โ€

The Justice Department last week released a memo concluding there was no evidence suggesting the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender kept a โ€œclient listโ€ to blackmail high-profile individuals. The memo also found no evidence to suggest foul play in Epsteinโ€™s death, which had previously been ruled a suicide.

The memo spurred fierce backlash from many Trump supporters, who had long called on the government to release material on Epstein that they argue would expose wrongdoing at the highest level of elite circles.

Far-right activistย Laura Loomer,ย a staunch ally ofย President Trump,ย said Sunday night there should be a special counsel toย examine the handling of filesย related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Loomer, who has bashed Attorney Generalย Pam Bondiย for her handling ofย the Epstein documents, told Politicoโ€™s Playbook newsletter that aย special counsel should be appointedย โ€œso that people can feel like this issue is being investigated, and perhaps take it out of [Bondiโ€™s] hands, because I donโ€™t think that she has been transparent or done a good job handling this issue.โ€

Much of the frustration from MAGA allies has been directed at Attorney Generalย Pam Bondi,ย who said earlier this year that files were on her desk but then seemed to suggest they did not exist by releasing the memo last week. Bondi argued she was referring to the case file on Epstein, not a specific โ€œclient list.โ€

Trump has remained adamant in his position andย has fiercely defendedย Bondi against the onslaught of backlash.ย 

โ€œWhatโ€™s going on with my โ€˜boysโ€™ and, in some cases, โ€˜gals?โ€™ Theyโ€™re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! Weโ€™re on one Team, MAGA, and I donโ€™t like whatโ€™s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and โ€˜selfish peopleโ€™ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies,ย Jeffrey Epstein,โ€ Trump said in the social media post on Saturday.

Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI, reportedly threatened to leave the bureau if Attorney General Pam Bondi remains on the job due to her handling of the Epstein files, a source close to Bongino told The Daily Wire.

One source close to Bongino predicted to Axios, โ€œHe ainโ€™t coming back.โ€ Trump administration officials, however, are saying that Bongino remains on the job.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday he believes FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is โ€œin good shapeโ€ following a reported clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

โ€œI spoke to him today,โ€ Trumpย toldย reporters at Joint Base Andrews. โ€œDan Bongino, very good guy. Iโ€™ve known him a long time. Iโ€™ve done his show many, many times. And he sounded terrific actually. No, I think heโ€™s in good shape.โ€

Watch:

FBI Director Kash Patelย broke his silenceย on Saturday amid rumors that he might also consider leaving if Bondi stayed, saying in a post to X that the โ€œconspiracy theoriesโ€ were not true and that he would continue to serve under Trump as long as the president wanted him to be there.

Trump Announces โ€˜Permanent Pauseโ€™ On Migration From โ€˜Third World Countriesโ€™ After DC Shooting

President Donald J. Trump announced Thursday that he will โ€œpermanently pause migration from all Third World Countriesโ€ after two members of the West Virginia National Guard were shot in Washington, D.C., earlier this week. โ€œI will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,โ€ he wrote on his social-media platform.

Earlier on Thursday, the administration revealed plans to re-examine green cards issued to immigrants from 19 countries. The June memo lists these countries โ€” including Afghanistan, Burma, Cuba, Somalia, Venezuela and others โ€” as of concern.

The sharper policy response comes after the suspect in this weekโ€™s attack was identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national. He entered the U.S. in 2021 under the humanitarian resettlement program launched following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Washington, D.C. Shooting: What Happened

On Wednesday afternoon near the White House, Lakanwal allegedly ambushed two West Virginia National Guard members. The victims, 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and 24-year-old Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, were shot during what prosecutors are calling a โ€œbrazen, targeted attack.โ€

Beckstrom died from her injuries late Thanksgiving Day, President Trump said. Wolfe remains in critical condition.

According to prosecutors, Lakanwal drove cross-country from Washington state for the sole purpose of carrying out the ambush. He allegedly fired 10โ€“15 rounds from a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver, striking one Guardsman, then leaning over to shoot a second time, and then firing on the other. Authorities said the remaining National Guard member then returned fire, and Lakanwal was apprehended.

This horrific attack unfolded while hundreds of National Guard troops remain deployed across D.C., under Mr. Trumpโ€™s 2025 strategy to restore public safety in the capital.

Administration Response: Immigration Crackdown

In response to the ambush, President Trump not only called for a complete halt to migration from unspecified โ€œThird World Countries,โ€ but late Thursday the administration also announced an indefinite pause on Afghan immigration. Officials said they would conduct a sweeping review of green card approvals tied to the 19 countries flagged in June.

In his statement, Trump did not list which additional countries would be subject to the pause โ€” though the 19-country list already includes several nations the administration deemed high risk.

Why This Matters โ€” and What It Signals for National Security

Supporters of the presidentโ€™s crackdown argue that the D.C. ambush underscores the danger of lax vetting under previous administrations. The suspect in this case reportedly worked in a CIA-backed unit during the U.S. war in Afghanistan, then obtained resettlement under a program from the prior administration.

Authorities Arrest Suspect After Making Threats Against Trump

The threats won’t stop…

Aย Pennsylvaniaย woman was arrested earlier this week after allegedly making threats against former Presidentย Donald Trumpย before a scheduled rally at Penn State University.

Paul J. Gavenonis, 74, a registered Democrat and resident of Spring Township, reportedly made alarming comments while purchasing a parking pass at the universityโ€™s transportation office. According to witnesses, Gavenonis, who identifies as transgender, expressed hostility toward Trump, stating,ย โ€œI hate Donald Trump. Iโ€™d like to shoot that guy,โ€ย while making a gesture that resembled cocking a gun.

The remarks prompted the transportation office staff to alert authorities. According to The Daily Wire, Gavenonis also allegedly referenced climbing a building in the area but expressed concern over being spotted by students if carrying a firearm.

During her interrogation, Gavenonis reportedly said, โ€œFrankly, I hope someone would get him.โ€ After her arrest, she admitted to having a rifle at home.

Gavenonis was charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.

District Judge Steven Lachma denied Gavenonis bail, citing the seriousness of the allegations and potential security concerns.

Gavenonisโ€™ arrest follows two assassination attempts against Trump in the last few months of the 2024 campaign, as The Daily Wire reported.

In September, the former president was targeted in an apparent assassination attempt, when a 58-year-old man hid out for 12 hours near Trumpโ€™s golf course in Florida, allegedly to take a shot at him.

The assassination attempt came just two months after Trump was on stage at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 when a gunman opened fire, hitting him in the ear, killing one Trump supporter, and injuring two others at the rally.

Gavenonisโ€™ preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday, Oct. 30.

Justice Department Sues Chicago Over Sanctuary City Laws

On Thursday, President Trumpโ€™s Justice Department sued the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago, and local officials over laws creating a so-called โ€œsanctuary city.โ€ 

The lawsuit filed in Illinois, against Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and others, claimed that several state and local laws are “designed to and in fact interfere with and discriminate against the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law in violation of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”

โ€œThe challenged provisions of Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County law reflect their intentional effort to obstruct the Federal Governmentโ€™s enforcement of federal immigration law and to impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe,โ€ the lawsuit states.

The complaint cites Pritzkerโ€™s comments on CNN late last month, when he said heโ€™s eager to cooperate with federal immigration officials to โ€œget ridโ€ of criminals but questioned the basis for targeting undocumented migrants that are โ€œlaw-abidingโ€ and have integrated into communities. 

โ€œIn rejecting congressionally authorized means of enforcing federal immigration law, including detainers and administrative warrants, these provisions constitute unlawful direct regulation of the Federal Government,โ€ the lawsuit states.

Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

TV personality Rosie Oโ€™Donnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a โ€œscary future.โ€

Oโ€™Donnell posted on Instagram: โ€œMy child Chelsea Belle โ€“ before addiction took over her life โ€“ I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future โ€“ prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.โ€

According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.

In a written statement, Oโ€™Donnell said, โ€œI have compassion for those struggling with addiction โ€” Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.โ€

Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust โ€” they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelseaโ€™s person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.

Oโ€™Donnellโ€™s Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelseaโ€™s earlier arrest read: โ€œSo yes this is true โ€“ after being bailed out by her birth mother โ€“ Chelsea was arrested again โ€“ and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction โ€“ we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.โ€


Bring in the Trump context

Itโ€™s worth noting that Rosie Oโ€™Donnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, Oโ€™Donnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people โ€” saying, โ€œThis is not a self-made manโ€ฆ left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affairโ€ฆโ€ People.com+2The List+2

Trump responded with scorn, calling Oโ€™Donnell โ€œa woman out of controlโ€ and a โ€œloser,โ€ threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline โ€” during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, โ€œOnly Rosie Oโ€™Donnell.โ€ The New Daily+1

In recent years their feud escalated further: After Oโ€™Donnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trumpโ€™s second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her โ€œa Threat to Humanityโ€ and saying โ€œshe should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.โ€

Escaped Louisiana Inmate Releases Video Pleading With Trump For Help: Watch

Donald Trump via Gage Skidmore Flickr

A desperate plea for help…

The man identifying himself asย Antoine Massey, one of 10ย escapees fromย the Orleans Justice Center (OJC) last month, claimed he was โ€œlet outโ€ โ€” and showed papers to the camera in a viral video supposedly backing up his story. The men fled the jail through an opening behind a toilet. Graffiti was left near the point of escape that read, โ€œTo Easy LoL.โ€

Eight of the 10 men have been apprehended by authorities.

โ€œThey say that I broke out,โ€ he said. โ€œI didnโ€™t break out. I was let out.โ€

Massey claimed he has a signed affidavit clearing him of an assault charge, alleging the person who accused him of the assault swore previous statements given were false.

โ€œIf the individual depicted in the video is indeed Antoine Massey, we strongly urge him to come forward and turn himself in to the proper authorities,โ€ the Orleans parish sheriffโ€™s office said in a statement about the video. โ€œCooperating with law enforcement is in his best interest and may help avoid additional charges. It is important that justice is served appropriately and that due process is followed.โ€

Massey has a history of being on the run. According toย NOLA.com, Massey, 32, has made multiple escape attempts from detention centers dating back to 2007 when he was a minor.

Massey also sought help from rappers likeย Lil Wayneย andย Meek Millย when heโ€™s back in โ€œcustody.โ€ He denied allegations of threatening a maintenance worker as part of the latest escape. There is a $50,000 reward being offered for information leading to Masseyโ€™s arrest.

โ€œIโ€™m saying people that been through the system that know itโ€™s corrupt. Lil Wayne, Donald Trump, please, Iโ€™m asking for help. You know what Iโ€™m saying?โ€ he said.
