Donald Trump and his entire administration are playing political theater with their Jeffrey Epstein coverup. But the problem for them is they don't know their lines. Every stunt has failed. Every distraction has backfired. They just can't get the media to look somewhere else. And how bad they are at this coverup was really exposed last night when Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer admitted live on air to the criminal secret deal with Donald Trump that is blowing this scandal up even more. We're going to get into it all.
But before we do, if I could quickly ask you to leave a like on this video and if you haven't already and you enjoy our channel to hit that subscribe button because it goes a long way in supporting our work.
Now, before we can get into what Maxwell's lawyer admitted on air, completely blowing up Donald Trump's coverup, I want to start with something Matt pointed out about Donald Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, in Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony that was completely overlooked. Do an interview and then she immediately got a big, very important material benefit. She got bumped down to a minimum security prison where a sex offender like her is not allowed to be unless they get some special dispensation from on high, which apparently she got just after doing this interview with the president's former personal defense lawyer. Special treatment and a reward for an interview about her crimes. Not from some, some craven tabloid or some, you know, soulless exploitative publisher like New York State legislators were worried about in the 1970s. No, this is from the president's administration. This is from the federal government. And in that interview, it's not like the president's lawyer was pressing her real hard on what she was telling him. At one point, Ghislaine Maxwell volunteered in this interview that there were multiple members of President Trump's cabinet who had been involved with child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, in the interview, the president's lawyer, we can hear they, it's on the tape. President's lawyer hears her say that about multiple members of President Trump's cabinet, and he responds to her saying that by not asking anything about it. You can listen to it. She, she volunteers members of Trump's cabinet, people who the president's lawyer would value as colleagues. She says she says they were among the people who she knows socialized with Jeff Jeffrey Epstein. She says that bluntly and then listen to how Donald Trump's lawyer responds to that. Listen to the long pause he greets that information with and then he just leaves it sitting right where it is and moves on to a different topic. Did I like think these guys were coming for that? I really don't. If you met Epstein, there is no way that this cast of characters of which it's extraordinary and some of you in your cabinet who you value as your co-workers and you know would be with him if he was a creep or because they wanted sexual favors. A man wants sexual favors, he will find that. They didn't have to come to Epstein for that. So, this woman who's in prison, a 20-year sentence because of her crimes that she committed with Jeffrey Epstein, she says, you know, hey, members of Donald Trump's cabinet were involved with this thing that I was part of, were involved with Epstein. She said, plural, right? Some are in your cabinet. Some are in your cabinet who you value as your co-workers. Multiple members of the president's cabinet were involved with Jeffrey Epstein. And the response to her volunteering this in this interview is not, uh, who, which members of the cabinet say what now? The response is, um, long pause. Let's move on.
It is important to keep in mind that everyone is implicated here in Donald Trump's administration. Not just in the coverup, but as Ghislaine Maxwell said, with being associates of Jeffrey Epstein. Several members of Donald Trump's cabinet, we at least know RFK Jr. for sure because he has admitted it. But the coverup that Donald Trump is carrying out right now as it relates to the entirety of the Epstein files isn't just one to protect him. It is one to protect the other co-conspirators, the other colleagues of Epstein's, the other criminals, uh, the associates around him because Donald Trump knows if their names become public, there is more to trace back to him. That is why the DOJ is right now actively blocking a federal judge from revealing the name of two Epstein associates who were wired hundreds of thousands of dollars. And NBC News is being blocked from seeing those names because the DOJ knows what would come next, a further investigation. They are terrified. And that is why they are trying to shut up the main player in this scandal, Ghislaine Maxwell. And that was just exposed in its entirety on air by her lawyer.
Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer admitted to secret deal with Trump live on CNN. An attorney for the convicted sex trafficker said, "Good lawyers always get something in exchange for a client cooperating with the government." An attorney for convicted trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell, told a CNN panel that defendants like his client who cooperate with the government typically do so in order to get something in return. During an appearance Monday on CNN News Night, attorney Arthur Adala told host Abby Phillip that he didn't know the details of Maxwell's transfer to a lower security prison after she met with Trump's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July, but asked why Maxwell was moved to Kushier Prison following the two-day interview, Adala said he could talk in generalities. "When anybody who's represented by a lawyer who knows what they're doing goes in and meets with the government, there's always a quid pro quo," he said. "You don't just take your client in and say, 'Let me talk to you about something.' They wanted information from hypothetically anytime the government wants information from a citizen. The citizen says, 'Well, I have a right to remain silent. If you want to give that right, I need something in return.'" Usually the exchange results in a plea bargain, he continued before interrupting himself to ask another panelist, former Biden adviser Neera Tanden, why she was laughing. "You just admitted to a quid pro quo with the Trump administration," Tanden replied. "But that's how the whole system works." Adala said Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping lure, manipulate, and groom young girls for the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on trafficking charges.
They are just admitting it at this point. They don't even care. They know they're protected by the Trump administration and they're happy to tell you because they don't think that there will be any repercussions. If that does not show you how clear it is that a deal was struck, besides the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer admitted it on air on television, for God's sakes, how stupid are these people? But really, what it boils down to is they just think MAGA is stupid. Donald Trump thinks his base is so dumb that they can admit to this coverup and that they won't care. That he can say that signature with my name that I signed isn't my signature, and MAGA will go along with it. That is what they think of these people. That is how dumb they think that they are. And do you know what? They're kind of right about how stupid MAGA is. MAGA is very dumb. So, if you're a Republican, maybe stop being so stupid. Like, I really don't know what else to say. We're kind of at that point. If you believe Donald Trump now, you have always been in a cult, which we know to be the case. But this is truly just some obvious BSing, some obvious coverup happening right now and they don't even seem to care. But it is increasingly obvious that the rest of the country does.
And Rachel Maddow broke it all down right here on this document. Pretty immediately, other examples were obtained of President Trump signing his first name in various contexts right around that time. And the signature from those other uncontested signatures of his, I don't know, looks pretty exactly the same. I, I mean, just a layman's understanding of these things. But here, look, this is the birthday book for Epstein that has has Trump purportedly signing it. Donald in 2003. Here, the New York Times publishes an example of a book Trump signed to Jeffrey Epstein in 1997. Donald. Here's the Wall Street Journal publishing an example of a letter Trump signed Donald in the year 2000. Here's the Wall Street Journal publishing an example of a letter Trump signed Donald in 2006. Now, I'm no forensic handwriting expert, but if the White House is hinging its whole defense against how ferociously creepy and suspicious this all is on how much these signatures don't all look look alike, how much these signatures don't look like each other, if that's their defense, that's a terrible defense.
This is the sitting president of the United States. In addition to the creepy, our shared secret naked woman references to never-aging document from Epstein's birthday book, Epstein's estate also today handed over to Congress this photo in which Epstein, who you see on the right there, is holding a big novelty check for $22,500. Is it is a check that is made to look like it is from Trump to Epstein. So, it's Trump purportedly paying Jeffrey Epstein more than $22,000. The caption alongside the photo, which the Wall Street Journal says was written by a longtime Mar-a-Lago member, uh, indicates that the check is because Epstein um sold to Donald Trump a quote girl who is described as quote fully depreciated for $22,500. What's that about? This, of course, comes after President Trump said just earlier this summer that the reason he had a falling out with his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein after 15 years of friendship was because Epstein, in Trump's words, stole a young woman from him. One of Epstein's sex trafficking victims who Trump ep who Trump says Epstein stole from Trump's spa at Mar-a-Lago. Real normal stuff here, you guys. Real normal. I mean, what in presidential history even approximates a scandal this disgusting? What in the history of the United States of America for anybody in any position of public trust approximates the level of repulsiveness that Donald Trump brings to the presidency with this trailing behind him like a snail trail.
Donald Trump can try to cover up elements of this scandal. He can try to, as he always has, change the narrative around it. But the damage is done, and there is no going back. Democrats will not just spend the months leading up to the midterms making this a central issue, as we should, but the second that the Democratic majority in the House is sworn in, there will be non-stop investigations, not just into Donald Trump's coverup, but that which was aided by every other member of his administration. Every Republican in Congress who helped stall and block, you will be called in and have to testify under oath. Robert Garcia has already secured the birthday book and he wasn't even the chairman on the oversight committee. He is the ranking member, absolutely killing it, demonstrating fearless leadership, showing how to actually get done. Just think when he has the full power of that committee, who he will go after next. That is something certainly to fight for. We're going to be talking about it on this show every single day.
