Trump is laying the groundwork for a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, pretending that she's a reliable informant on Epstein and not his literal partner-in-crime, so it's probably worth recirculating the facts:

Ghislaine Maxwell convicted of federal sex trafficking charges for role in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses
The jury weighed evidence from about 30 witnesses over 3 weeks who alleged the British socialite played a pivotal part in recruiting teenage girls for sex with Epstein.

When I voted yesterday, Lander was my #1 choice for mayor, and posts like this make me wish he was doing better in the polls.
Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
