Yeah he’s terrified of what’s in the files, which is why he’s hoping he can create a limited hangout using a statement from Maxwell

Gen Z turned out in surprising numbers for Trump in 2024. Now they’re walking away. But they’re not running back into the arms of Democrats yet, and their dissatisfaction doesn’t stem from Trump not being “hard right” enough, as delusional people on this app would have you…

Ok so circling back here, @JDVance. The contention is that the book is entirely fake? Or Trump being a contributor is fake, or all that is real but someone created a totally fake Trump letter and stuck it in the real book? nytimes.com/2025/07/24/us/…
So this is probably fake too, right @JDVance ? The whole thing made up? Or maybe just the Trump part? I’m losing the thread a little, I gotta say. wsj.com/us-news/jeffre…
This kind of gives the game away — Bannon fumes that the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein story will get more attention than the Obama coup diversion.

BREAKING via NYT: The Times found another admiring note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein. “To Jeff — You are the greatest!” reads an inscription in a copy of Mr. Trump’s book “Trump: The Art of the Comeback” that belonged to Mr. Epstein. (link in reply)
This friendly back and forth between Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer and the deputy AG about the sex trafficking interview is pretty strange!
Looking forward to another productive day tomorrow. Ghislaine honestly answered every question that @DAGToddBlanche asked. And she will continue to do so. We are grateful that the government is trying to uncover the truth. They have never before spoken with her and we trust the…

Trump’s corrupt DOJ is going to put out a statement full of lies by sex trafficker Maxwell who is trying to get out of prison, while refusing to release the statements of the victims and witnesses which would prove she’s lying. DOJ is now siding with sex traffickers over victims.
Here’s why Ghislaine Maxwell was charged with perjury. One of the claims was that she was “not aware” that Epstein had sex with anyone else, which she repeated when asked again. forbes.com/sites/alisondu…
Schulz: The fact that Trump will not touch the Epstein case, and then last week, doing the bullshit distractions? Singh: The Epstein thing, for me, was the last straw in terms of Trump not getting things done. The more they're doing to hide it, the more I'm like, 'oh, they're…
Pam Bondi and Kash Patel diverted hundreds of FBI employees from their actual job of protecting the citizens of the United States to instead go through all the Epstein Files to flag *any* reference to Donald Trump. Yikes.
It's crazy to lie like this
🚨 I just asked for unanimous consent to pass an Epstein resolution calling for full transparency and all available files to be released. Senate Democrats objected on the floor. Liberal political theater.
It's funny how the online right constantly whines about the third world when Trump behaves like a third world autocrat
The idea that Jerome Powell is the "project manager" on the Fed renovation is so extraordinarily stupid.
NEW -- MAGA is absolutely on track to embrace a Maxwell pardon (assuming she doesn't implicate Trump). @willsommer (the essential reporter on this storyline) with the latest. thebulwark.com/p/maga-inches-…
Reminder as Trump’s DOJ meets with Ghislaine Maxwell: - Trump's former personal lawyer is meeting with her - Ghislaine Maxwell and Trump have been close friends for years - Last week Trump fired the prosecutor who put Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein in prison

NEW: In an interview with Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein revealed HE wallked away from Donald Trump -- not the other way around, as Trump has claimed many times. Epstein cut Trump loose when he "realized Trump was a crook," per @BusinessInsider yahoo.com/news/jeffrey-e…
