Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist” after the VA nurse was killed by federal agents, a rare misstep for Miller, the White House aide stoking President Trump’s boundary-pushing impulses.

Nobody who's been incidentally mentioned or revealed to have had only trivial interactions with Epstein has suffered any consequence worse than being mildly embarrassed, at most, and they have been the focus of little if any media coverage.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.
