The NY Times - Attorney General Alerted Trump His Name Appeared in Epstein Files

 

breaking

 


It was not clear in what context Trump’s name was raised in the files.

 

Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in the spring that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to three people with knowledge of the exchange.

 

Ms. Bondi and Mr. Blanche informed the president that his name, as well as those of other high-profile figures, came up in their re-examination of documents connected to the case that had not previously been made public. 

 

 

 

 

EDIT

 

The Washington Post - Judge in Florida denies Justice Dept. request to release Epstein transcripts

 

23 July 2025

 


A federal judge on Wednesday rejected the Justice Department’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts from investigations of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in Florida, a setback for the Trump administration amid growing calls for transparency from the president’s base.

 

The department petitioned the court last week to release those closely held records from the federal grand juries, based in West Palm Beach, that investigated Epstein in 2005 and 2007. But in a 12-page opinion Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg said she could not legally do so under court rules governing the secrecy of those federal proceedings in Florida.

 

The court’s hands are tied,” Rosenberg wrote.

 

 

Florida is a very special place ...  😉

I am shocked to hear this shocking news that the name of the adjudicated rapist who is in a thousand public photographs with Epstein and gave a million interviews about how he and Epstein were great pals and Epstein likes his girls on the young side nudge nudge wink wink might "come up" in files about Epstein.

It's not a setback; it's a strawman / red herring.

There's a famous saying among lawyers: never ask a question where you don't already knew the answer. Though it's supposed to be sealed, Trump's would know his name have never come up in the aforementioned grand jury investigation ... or Bill gates, or ...

A grand jury decides whether there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed and whether charges should be brought (an indictment).

It is not a trial to determine guilt or innocence.

Grand jury proceedings are secret by law, and Trump lawyers knew this.

It was a diversion to confuse the public (and apparently the Washington Post).

There’s a strong argument that it was political theater. It will be trumpeted by Trump that he was aggressive on Epstein’s past but knowing the legal bar for unsealing was almost impossible to meet.

The NY Times - Columbia Agrees to $200 Million Fine to Settle Fight With Trump

 

breaking

 


The White House had canceled more than $400 million in research funding to the university, saying it had failed to protect Jewish students from harassment.

 

Columbia University will pay a $200 million fine to settle allegations from the Trump administration that it failed to do enough to stop the harassment of Jewish students, part of a sweeping deal reached on Wednesday to restore the university’s federal research funding, according to a statement from the university.

 

In exchange for the return of hundreds of millions in research grants, Columbia will also pledge to follow laws banning the consideration of race in admissions and hiring, and follow through on other commitments to reduce antisemitism and unrest on campus that it agreed to in March.

 

 

Extortionate, literally.  😳

"The New Republic" is an oddity in publications: right-wing publication that has always hated Trump.

Trump continued: "the price drop will affect Epstein ... aagh... I mean EpiPen, Epogen, Epiduo .. I didn't say Epstein ... I've never even heard of Epstein ... what is that? a made up word?"

Trump Fails Basic Math Problem Trying to Brag About Drug Prices: The New Republic

Donald Trump won’t stop lying about his dangerous plan to decrease drug prices in the stupidest way possible.

“This is something that nobody else can do,” Trump said during a reception with members of Congress Tuesday night. “We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30 or 40 percent, which would be great, not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get ’em down 1,000 percent, 600 percent, 500 percent, 1,500 percent.”

He bragged that he could use a “certain talent” to reach “numbers not even thought to be achievable.” If anything, the president’s certain talent is to offer hyperbole in place of actual policy.

Trump’s phony math didn’t stop there. “We will have reduced drug prices by 1,000 percent, by 1,100, 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 700, 600; not 30 or 40 or 50 percent but numbers the likes of which you’ve never even dreamed of before,” he added later.

Is it all of those numbers? Is it any of them? In reality, the president’s disastrous tariff policies have threatened to send drug prices skyrocketing. A report commissioned in April by a group of pharmaceutical companies found that even a 25 percent tariff on pharmaceutical imports would raise drug costs by $51 billion annually. Trump’s latest proposal involves a 200 percent tariff on pharmaceuticals, with little concern for the Americans who need regular access to prescription medications.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/potus-is-clearly-furious-white-house-is-frustrated-by-all-consuming-epstein-coverage/ar-AA1J8O7J?cvid=a171ba0a8b0345eb9cf34c501d2ee040&ei=25

 

...questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, who was found dead in his jail cell by suicide nearly six years ago, are overshadowing almost everything else.

 

“POTUS is clearly furious,” said a person close to the White House, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to discuss the mood inside the West Wing. “It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed.”

 

A senior White House official told POLITICO the president is frustrated with his staff’s inability to tamp down conspiracy theories they once spread and by the wall of media coverage that started when Attorney General Pam Bondi released information from the Epstein case that was already in the public domain.

 

“He feels there are way bigger stories that deserve attention,” the senior White House official said.

 

I bet he does! But I hope people do not let this one go - the orange buffoon (and his clowns) started it, he made his bed, and now he can lie in it.

100% reduction = You are giving it away for free (price = 0).

1500% reduction is mathematically impossible for prices unless you’re literally giving money away with the product.

NSFW: it's too small to notice, but it shows Trump's male genitalia.

Trump is fuming about this cartoon.

It was lifted from "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, the "1999 American adult animated musical comedy film based on the animated sitcom South Park.

Trump has replaced Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi politician and revolutionary who served as the fifth president of Iraq from 1979 until he was executed by hanging.

The voice is an exact copy. Canadians also haven't changed.
