Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince?

Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

“Will you release all the files within 30 days?”

BONDI: “We’ll continue to follow the law.”🤔

“You said no addition investigation was warranted. What changed?”

BONDI: “Information.” 🙃

As expected.....

DOJ holds +/- 20,000 files

Bondi expects to redact +/- 19,993 .... subject to blah blah blah

Epstein files bill allowing Bondi to "redact" details comes under scrutiny
The bill allows Attorney General Pam Bondi to redact records that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution."

"Things happen" is when you miss coffee with a friend, not when you order a journalist to be murdered with a bonesaw. All of them thinking it was okay to have MBS here, need their fucking heads examined.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

Trump’s new Attorney General pick, Pam Bondi, received $115,000 USD a month lobbying for Qatar on "human trafficking". In 2016 she also accepted a $25,000 bribe ("donation") before deciding not to act on complaints filed against Trump. #spookyconnections

Why didn't Pam Bondi investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?! As Florida's AG, Bondi made prosecuting sex traffickers who preyed on children a top priority. Yet for some reason she never investigated Epstein. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.
