BUSFIELD INDICTED IN NEW MEXICO OF MULTIPLE CHARGES OF CHILD SEX ABUSE;HIS LAWYER SEEMS CONFIDENT OF ACQUITTAL
(abc noise)A grand jury has indicted actor Timothy Busfield on child sex abuse contact charges after his arrest last month in New Mexico, according to officials.
Busfield is facing multiple counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, according to Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman.
"District Attorney Sam Bregman emphasized that protecting children remains a top priority for his office. The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office remains committed to doing everything possible to protect children and ensure justice for victims," the district attorney's office said in a statement Friday.

The "West Wing" actor was arrested in January and ordered released by a judge.
The charges against Busfield stem from accusations that he inappropriately touched a child actor on the set of the TV show "The Cleaning Lady," which was filmed in Albuquerque, according to a criminal complaint.
The actor has not entered a plea but denied the allegations when interviewed by investigators, according to the criminal complaint.
An attorney for Busfield said the indictment was "not unexpected," in a statement to ABC News.

"As the saying goes, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. What is deeply concerning is that the District Attorney is choosing to proceed on a case that is fundamentally unsound and cannot be proven at trial. The detention hearing exposed fatal weaknesses in the State’s evidence — gaps that no amount of charging decisions can cure," Larry Stein, an attorney for Busfield, said in a statement after the indictment Friday.
He added, "This prosecution appears driven by something other than the facts or the law. Mr. Busfield will fight these charges at every stage and looks forward to testing the State’s case in open court — where evidence matters — not behind closed doors."

Did Trump post a video on his social media account that showed the Obama's as dancing monkeys?
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/06/donald-trump-obamas-monkey-video-00768745?cid=apn
Here is the "explanation" about what happened:
Following the backlash, the post was deleted. A statement from a White House official — sent from an unsigned press email address — confirmed the video was removed and claimed an unidentified staffer had posted it to the president’s social media account.
Speaking to reporters Friday evening, Trump said he sent the video to a staffer to review for posting to his account, but that he only “looked at the first part” of the video and didn’t see the post’s racist image.
“I looked at the first part, and it was really about voter fraud,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “Then I gave it to the people to — generally they look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn’t and they posted it. And we took it down.”
I have to wonder who this staffer was that sent it to him but even if it wasn't his fault, he's going to get crucified for this one.
P.T. must have double agents who he thinks are loyal MAGA,but instead are doing stuff like this, so media has ammo for something to bitch about. I saw it on nbc live at 3 pm--with a warning" We won't show the end of this racist post,"so horrified they were of this nothing story. Pictures of Trump wearing a nazi uniform and mustache are okay though--right media?
