What if he didn't hit her?

New information has appeared on social media, containing police testimony and never before seen footage from surveillance cameras of the former marital home of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

In May 2016, Heard and her team testified in several court cases that Depp threw a phone in her face and trashed their penthouse kitchen.

💰 Members of Congress of both parties who voted against Donald Trump have been gripped by fear. Since January, they have increased their spending on private security. For example, House Democratic member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was not trapped in the congressional building with rioters on January 6, but broadcast events from the office and shared her fears for her life, has since spent a whopping $ 45,000 on private security.

Some Republicans have also become obsessive about protection: Senators Mitt Romney and Pat Toomey, who voted to convict Trump during the trial, increased their private security spending to $ 43,633 and $ 70,000, respectively.

How much taxpayer money are you willing to spend to protect yourself?
