Trump and Bondi DOJ are "phishing" Ghislaine Maxwell...

They are negotiating with Maxwell's attorney to find out what she knows? And what she is willing to tell or not to tell?

This is Trump's latest "shiny object".

Nobody would know more about Jeffrey Epstein than Ghislaine Maxwell, who is presently serving a 20-year sentence.

Naturally, she would like to get out of prison. Trump would like to make a deal with her. If she can testify to facts that will remove him from the Epstein scandal, then perhaps they can make a deal?

This is the latest scheme. Nothing else has seemed to work. Trump has not been able to divert MAGA from the "list". They want names and will settle for nothing less.

Trump wants his name removed.

Ghislaine Maxwell is the hole card.

She is the only one that can free Trump from this scandal.

And petition for immediate release/mistrial by citing the entire hoax angle.

Put Trump in the position of admitting he was full of shit

The truth is Trump was assaulting underaged girls with Epstein for years.

But I think people underestimate this regime's ability to lie and have the media spread their line without question for them. Don Jr. could write a 2 page summary in crayon and the media would present it as possibly legit. The DOJ controls this data, no way does Trump's DOJ let anything damaging about him leak.

She is the only one that can free Trump from this scandal. No, no one can ever free the convicted felon from this scandal. What corner of his library will house the Jeffrey Epstein period of his administration along with the Stormy's period.

In a 2023 interview she reversed her opinion on whether the photo of her and Epstein with Prince Andrew is legitimate:
