Attorneys Brian Kabateck (@kabateckllp) and Shant Karnikian (@Shant_K) expose the unprecedented move by Trump’s top DOJ officials, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, flying to Florida for a two-day meeting with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell while actively opposing her appeal. They reveal how this “Queen for a Day” session appears designed to secure Maxwell’s cooperation in crafting a Trump-friendly narrative about Jeffrey Epstein—perhaps claiming she barely knew Trump or that he was a “respectable father.” The hosts break down the suspicious timing as Trump’s MAGA base implodes over his broken promises to release Epstein files, with even far-right supporters feeling betrayed by his failure to “drain the swamp.” They examine how the government’s failed petition to unseal grand jury transcripts was pure political theater, with prosecutors conceding to the court that their hands were tied and they knew the records couldn’t be released. A revealing look at how Trump uses desperate sideshows and potential deals with convicted felons to distract from mounting evidence of his Epstein connections, proving that when promises meet reality, even loyal supporters start seeing the emperor has no clothes.
