BREAKING: Trump’s Personal Lawyer Is Meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in Prison TODAY

Todd Blanche, a top DOJ official and longtime Trump fixer, may be floating a pardon to keep Maxwell quiet about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is reportedly meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell in a Florida prison today. If you’re not familiar, Blanche is Donald Trump’s personal lawyer—the same guy who’s helped him escape accountability for his crimes time and again. Trump quietly installed him at the DOJ to cover his tracks, just like he did with Pam Bondi.

Why is Blanche visiting Maxwell? Because they’re worried. Worried she has dirt on Trump—dirt connected to crimes he may have committed alongside his doodle buddy Jeffrey Epstein. I strongly suspect Blanche is floating the idea of a pardon to Maxwell to keep her quiet and ensure she shields Trump when she’s inevitably called to testify before Congress.

And when she does testify, I believe she’ll do more than protect Trump—she’ll hand Republicans the talking points they need to bury this story. This may be the most damaging scandal of Trump’s political career. I can’t think of another controversy that’s lingered this long or cut this deep. His approval is dropping. His base is fracturing. And why? Because he's failed to do the one thing he kept promising: expose the truth about Epstein.

That’s why it’s critical for Democrats and activists—people like you and me—to demand full transparency. We need the complete Epstein list and the unredacted flight logs. No more secrecy. No more delays. No more distractions with his cankles and AI generated videos of former presidents being arrested.

And hey, maybe—maybe—this is the one time Trump is telling the truth. I doubt it. But if he is, there should be zero resistance to releasing the facts. We need to know exactly who’s on that list. Which celebrities? Which politicians? Which business leaders? If Trump’s on it? Fine, let’s hold him accountable. If Democrats, donors, or Hollywood allies are on it? Good—I want them held accountable too.

What drives me crazy is how little accountability exists in our government. As I wrote on Monday, Trump’s entire presidency has been a protection racket for the rich and powerful. He gutted Medicaid to give the wealthy tax breaks. He weakened the federal government’s ability to go after financial criminals. And now, he’s blocking the release of the Epstein files—not just to protect himself, but likely to shield his cronies, cabinet members, and donors.

Trump and his allies will keep playing games. Call for prosecuting Obama. Say they’re going to imprison Adam Schiff. Attack Rosie O’Donnell on social media. It’s all noise—meant to change the subject and reel his supporters back in. But we have to keep our eyes on the real fight.

We must demand a full release of the Epstein files and flight logs—with only the victims’ identifying information redacted. Nothing more. We deserve to know the extent of Trump’s relationship with Epstein. And we deserve to know who else was involved—no matter their party, fame, or fortune.

This is not a partisan issue. If Trump’s implicated, so be it. If Bill Clinton is, so be it. I don’t care who it is—I care that we know. Because if people preyed on children and used their power to escape justice, they must be held accountable.

No more blind eyes. No more excuses. This is a moment where everyone—left, right, and center—needs to stand up and demand truth. This isn’t about political points. It’s about justice.

The grand jury fight is another distraction, too. They want you to think the judge is the problem. He’s not. The real problem is the Trump machine trying to deflect, deny, and distract at every turn to coverup for their boss.

Don't fall for it.

Stay focused.

This scandal doesn’t end until we have the full Epstein list, the full unredacted flight logs, and justice for the victims. Nothing less.
