Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him.

Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

Just want to get it straight that @kaine.senate.gov and @schumer.senate.gov gave up everything for nothing.

The most blackberry of emails
Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

I feel *insane* because this is stuff that was totally talked about in 2016. A full decade of gaslighting.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

The Senate’s spending bill eliminates or delays food safety rules aimed at preventing foodborne illnesses and contamination.

Not only did 8 Senate Democrats fail to protect millions of Americans’ healthcare, but they’re also making our food less safe.
