In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

It's so much bigger than Trump and maybe the one thing that the right wing podcast world has been helping society pay attention to.
The newly-released documents show communication between Jeffrey Epstein and numerous high profile individuals, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, and former White House senior counselor Steve Bannon.

Sick. Megyn Kelly wants to be the new Ghislaine?
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
