Ghislaine Maxwell Says Jeffrey Epstein Had ‘Incriminating’ Videos Of Donald Trump

Ever since he was found dead in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Complex in New York, there have been rumors that the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — who had a fondness for underage girls — may have left behind some damning evidence implicating some of his more famous friends in many of the same crimes he was convicted for committing.

According to Epstein’s former procurer of girls, Ghislaine Maxwell, those rumors are true, The Telegraph reports:

“Ghislaine Maxwell admitted that Jeffrey Epstein had secret recordings of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, a CBS News producer has claimed in a new book.

“The British socialite, who is awaiting trial on charges of procuring girls for Epstein to abuse in the mid-1990s, was reportedly duped by journalist Ira Rosen into confirming that the sex offender had taped his famous friends.

“Reports that Epstein had planted secret recording devices in his homes and – it was rumoured – had potentially incriminating tapes of his many powerful associates have circulated for years but have never been verified.”

Rosen said he spoke with Maxwell prior to the 2016 election and managed to get her to admit the existence of such tapes:

“In his memoir, Mr. Rosen writes that he told Ms. Maxwell: ‘I want the tapes. I know he [Epstein] was videotaping everyone.’

“Mr. Rosen claims that Ms. Maxwell ‘gave me a stern look and pointed a finger in my face. She said: ‘I am the daughter of a press baron. I know the way you people think. If you do one side, you must do the other. If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do Clinton.'”

So there are tapes of Bill Clinton, too? That’s certainly what Rosen claims he was told by Maxwell when he interviewed her.

None of Epstein’s supposed tapes have ever seen the light of day, leading some to speculate that they might have been confiscated and destroyed to protect powerful members of the financial and political elite such as Clinton, Trump, and Prince Andrew of the British royal family.

Chris Christie Explains How He Lives Rent-Free In Trump’s Head By Using ‘The One Thing He Can’t Stand’

Failed and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump continues to luanch social media attacks on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is running against the ex-president for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, suggesting that Christie should drop out of the race.

On his failing Truth Social site, Trump wrote:

“Sloppy Chris Christie, who was rated the Worst Governor in the History of New Jersey, had the lowest approval rating, 8%, had 11 straight downgrades of New Jersey Bonds, a record, was thrown out of New Hampshire after his last debate, and endlessly suffered from the horrible and never ending Bridgegate scandal, SHOULD DROP OUT OF THE RACE. HE IS GOING NOWHERE AND IS VERY BAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!”

But why in the world is Trump attacking Christie, who is polling in the single digits?

According to Christie, the answer is simple: Because he’s telling the brutal truth about Donnie.

During an appearance on CNN evening, Christie told host Kaitlan Collins, “He only wishes I was going away. I was laying out the truth about him.”

Christie added:

“He knows I’m not just some politician talking about his problems. I’m someone who’s done it, and done it well.
“I know how deep his problems are, and how much they’re damaging both the Republican Party and the country,” Christie said. “I’m not getting out this race. Maybe he should think about getting out of the race since he’ll be spending most of March and half of April in a courtroom in Washington, DC.”

The fact that Christie is running is also likely a reason Trump is refusing to participate in the GOP presidential debates. Trump knows Christie can eviscerate him during a face-to-face and make him look like a complete fool.

Here’s hoping Chris Christie remains in the race and continues to lob verbal artillery at Donnie. If nothing else, it should make for some great quotes and one-liners.

Bombshell Report: Trump Knew Giuliani Was Drunk While Giving Him ‘Legal Advice’ – Which Destroys Donald’s Defense

The main defense being used by failed former president Donald Trump to shield himself from criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results is that he was merely acting on the advice of legal counsel.

But what if one of the people giving Trump legal advice was intoxicated? And what if the ex-president knew that but continued to let one of attorneys guide his decisions?

Thanks to a blockbuster report from Rolling Stone, we now know that Trump was indeed listening closely to what his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani told him, despite the fact that several people allege Guiliani was drunk most of the time while dispensing legal guidance.

Some witnesses told (Special Counsel Jack) Smith’s team that they saw Giuliani consuming significant quantities of alcohol; some told the special counsel’s office that they could clearly smell alcohol on Giuliani’s breath, including on election night, and that they noticed distinct changes in his demeanor from hours prior, the sources tell Rolling Stone.

Some have already told investigators that they were directly aware of moments when Trump had talked to others about Giuliani’s drinking, and that Trump spoke negatively about his then-top lawyer’s alcohol consumption. (Trump is known for being a longtime teetotaler.)

That would mean that the “advice of counsel” ploy being used by Trump is no longer valid, according to Mitchell Epner, a former Assistant United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey:

“In order to rely upon an advice of counsel defense, the defendant has to, number one, have made full disclosure of all material facts to the attorney. That requires that the attorney understands what’s being told to them. If you know that your attorney is drunk, that does not count as making full disclosure of all material facts.”

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner noted on MSNBC that Trump might have taken bad advice from an inebriated Guiliani as a “cover” to engage in illegal activities.

“Is he taking the advice from somebody who everyone in the room knows is drunk?” Kirschner asked. “If you’re taking advice from a thoughtful, sober, learned counsel, that, you know, might give you some protection on the advice of counsel front. But if you’re taking advice from, you know, from the town drunk sitting in the public square yelling at the clouds, you’re not going to have much of an advice of counsel defense.”

Kirschner added, “These are not salacious issues and I think more fundamentally, on the advice of counsel defense, I also think it is really hard for Donald Trump to pursue that when his counsel are his co-defendants in the Jan. 6 trial. They’re his unindicted co-defendants and there is no advice of co-defendant offense. So, that also complicated the advice of counsel defense that Donald Trump might otherwise have.”

Donnie might want to start thinking about a plea deal with Jack Smith.

Don Jr. Urges MAGA Faithful To Buy Trump Merch Only From Him – Not People ‘Lining Their Own Pockets’

Attention all MAGA morons who have money to burn and want to spend it on assorted Trump crap you can put up around your house, on your car, and anywhere else you feel the need to pimp for failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiple indicted former president Donald Trump: Stop giving your money to people who are only interested in making a buck off the Donald’s tainted name.

That’s the message from Donald Trump Jr. (more appropriately known as Donald #2), who wants the Trump faithful to only spend their bucks at his online store.

On the Monday edition of his “Triggered” podcast, Junior lamented that some people who sell Trump merchandise are only interested in “lining their own pockets.”

“I get other people have made [a] very good living doing the MAGA merch, even if none of the money actually goes toward the [Trump] campaign or the cause.”

Understand, the disgraced ex-president’s namesake added, that he simply wouldn’t “feel right about profiting” from his old man’s four indictments. “I’d probably actually get killed in the press, thinking about it now.”

However, Junior quickly noted, you’re certainly welcome to direct your internet browser over to his website and scoop up some of the caps, shirts, posters, koozies, etc. emblazoned with the Trump name and infamous mugshot taken in Fulton County, Georgia just last week.

Twitter users couldn’t resist mocking Don Jr. for his blatant grifting.

Trump Demands Members Of 1/6 Committee Be Arrested After Judge Sets His Trial Date For March

After learning that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan had set his election conspiracy trial date for March 4, 2024 — which is just a day before the Super Tuesday GOP primaries — disgraced and multiply indicted former president Donald Trump raged on his failing Truth Social site, even going to far as to insist that the entire House Select Committee on January 6 should be arrested and charged with crimes.

In setting the date, Judge Chutkan noted:

During a hearing on Monday, Chutkan heard arguments from Trump’s lawyers and federal prosecutors about when the case could be set for trial. Special counsel Jack Smith proposed that the trial start in January, with jury selection beginning in December of this year, while Trump’s team said the trial should be pushed back until April 2026, after the presidential election.

“These proposals are obviously very far apart,” Chutkan said Monday. “Neither of them is acceptable.”

Chutkan said that Trump will have to prioritize the trial and that she wouldn’t change the trial schedule based upon another defendant’s professional obligations, say, for a professional athlete.

Trump responded:

“Deranged Jack Smith & his team of Thugs, who were caught going to the White House just prior to Indicting the 45th President of the United States (an absolute No No!), have been working on this Witch Hunt for almost 3 years, but decided to bring it smack in the middle of Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent’s campaign against him. Election Interference! Today a biased, Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!”

The failed ex-president then added:

“Page 2: How do you have an Indictment that is based almost entirely on the findings of the January 6th Unselect Committee of Marxists, Fascists, and Political Hacks, when these same lowlifes, who have been caught lying for years about Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, FISA, the Fake Dossier, & much more, purposely & Illegally DESTROYED & DELETED all of the Evidence, Findings, & Proof of the January 6th Committee? When will Deranged Jack Smith Criminally Charge the Committee?”

Despite Trump’s insistence that he will appeal the trial date set by the judge, it’s unlikely he’ll win a favorable ruling. Federal judges are given tremendous latitude to run their courtrooms and trials heard in them the way they want. Even the Supreme Court isn’t likely to hear such an appeal, if only because they don’t want to be seen as literally interfering in a pending trial.
