With NY Governor Andrew Cuomo facing more calls to resign, the focus is now on Lt-Gov Kathy Hochul. Should Cuomo stand down or be impeached, she may become the city’s first female governor.

Let’s take a closer look:

🔹The 62-year-old describes herself as an "independent Democrat" and has served as Cuomo's second-in-command since 2015;

🔹In 2011, she became the first Democrat in 40 years to win the Republican-leaning New York’s 26th congressional district, a feat so remarkable that the then-vice-president, Joe Biden, telephoned to congratulate her;

🔹In the 2012 general election, however, she lost her House of Representatives seat;

🔹As Lieutenant-Governor, Hochul has repeatedly promoted women's health and safety;

🔹Of the Cuomo scandal, she describes the Governor's behaviour as having been "repulsive and unlawful […] towards multiple women".
🤔 The ties between Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein seem closer than we previously thought.

A young neuroscientist, who later became a top adviser to Bill Gates, was Epstein's protégé, Rolling Stone has reported.

Melanie S. Walker, a neurosurgeon who is married to former Microsoft executive Steven Sinofsky, met Epstein in New York in 1992. He found her ‘very attractive’ and reportedly approached her in the main dining room of the Plaza Hotel.

Between 1992 and 2000, when Walker was studying at medical school in Texas, records show that she listed an address in a New York apartment building owned by Epstein as her residence.

Walker, 49, was hired by the convicted pedophile as his ‘science adviser’ and later began dating - and eventually married - Steven Sinofsky, an executive at Microsoft, which allowed her to meet Bill Gates and join his philanthropic foundation.

Trump unveiled a brand new MAGA hat that he "personally designed."

🗣 “I just designed our BRAND NEW MAGA Hat and I want YOU to have it,” the letter said. “You’ve always been one of my most LOYAL supporters, so I don’t want you to have just ANY hat… I want YOU to have the MAGA Hat that I personally HAND-SIGNED for YOU.”
