The Kenya Times ~ Trending, Breaking News and Videos DOJ Drops Maxwell Transcripts and Epstein Files —300 Pages of Secrets Revealed The Justice Department on Friday released transcripts and audio files of two days of interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, conducted last month at her federal prison. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche led the sessions, which covered Maxwell’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and her knowledge of figures linked to him.

Actress Jackie Matubia has opened up on the reasons that led to her divorce from her ex-husband Kennedy Njogu. The mother of two says one of the major reasons that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage was the fact that her pilot ex-husband wanted her to be a stay-at-home mom, an idea that didn't sit well with her. Njogu's idea was that Matubia should take care of their home and family, as he would provide her and their child with everything they needed. "I was married to a man from whom I did not have to ask for anything (he always provided). But there was a flip side to it. This man wanted me to be a stay-at-home and my problem was that, ever since I was young I wasn't one to stay at home without having something to do. I have always been out trying to do something for myself and now he is this man who wants me to be a housewife," says Matubia. While that would be good for most women, it wasn't for her. "Being a housewife is a good thing for m...
