Weekend Interview: Watch my convo on The News Agents about why Trump can’t ghost the Epstein story— or outfox Rupert Murdoch.
I sat down with Jon Sopol, co-host of my favorite UK podcast, The News Agents to dive into how Trump has gotten off base on the Epstein story (he’s trying to move on but much of his base isn’t budging), why Rupert Murdoch can’t resist a tabloid scoop, and what the head of the Paul Weiss law firm has learned about the cost of capitulation. Plus, why we need a few more brave billionaires right about now.
Trump says Maxwell revealed 100 names, as if he wasn't aware of them all along. He will use the names of anyone on his enemy list to publicly persecute them, like Clinton. Trump will use the rest of the list, of this he doesn't see as enemies as leverage to blackmail them.
Anyone stupid enough to fall for this bullshit needs their head examined.
Valuable insights. I fear your prediction he will get away with it, at least whilst he’s President. He’ll claim he was saving those poor young girls on the national interest, so cant be prosecuted…
