WIRED Senior Writer Jake Lahut, former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief Kristy Greenberg, and Puck News Congressional Correspondent Abby Livingston join Erielle Reshef to break down the latest developments in the Epstein saga. msnbc.com/weekends-with-…

Republicans dodged the Epstein file vote like it was a COVID shot. They’ll subpoena Maxwell, the Clintons & ex-AGs—but not call AG Bondi to testify. GOP growing a spine is as likely as Stephen Miller growing a heart. 📺 Full video — Link in bio. #Epstein #Maxwell

Trump said Epstein was inappropriate for hiring Trump’s workers. Right, because that’s where Epstein crossed the line.

Trump never asked why Epstein was hiring young women from his spa - when Epstein didn’t even run a spa? Trump didn’t think that was shady - knowing that Epstein liked women “on the younger side?” And Trump ended their close friendship over poaching spa staff? Not buying it.

The 3 D’s of Donnie’s damage control - deny, deflect and distract - aren’t working. The Epstein scandal isn’t going away because Trump promised transparency, but delivered a cover-up. youtube.com/shorts/JRkU0Wp… via YouTube

NEW: Trump’s DOJ has rewarded sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell with a country club prison stay. This is outrageous. It sends the message that the privileged can sexually exploit children w/o severe punishment. It’s a betrayal of the victims who deserve justice.

Breaking the rules. Defying officials. In the NBA, that guy fouls out. In Trump’s America, he becomes a judge. Trump's former lawyer Emil Bove is back on the court - and now he's making the rules. Here's why that should scare you.👇 youtu.be/FX6sJlNdHXU?si… via YouTube

🔥 Catch and Kill: Is Trump’s DOJ Covering Up the Epstein Scandal? The National Enquirer ran cover for Trump for decades. Now that he’s back in power, he doesn’t need the tabloids. He’s got the DOJ. 👀 Watch here: youtu.be/XVMhqOgd5VQ?si… via YouTube #EpsteinCoverup

Bracing for Karoline Leavitt to go Regina George - tossing pages from Ghislaine Maxwell’s “Burn Book.” Bc Sydney Sweeney’s jeans aren’t the only thing that’s blue - so is the party of the people Maxwell named. Why do I think so?Watch here 👇 youtube.com/shorts/bae3_mg… via YouTube

You know DC crime’s bad - the U.S. Attorney made a video when a guy threw a Subway sandwich at a cop. Call the National Guard - that sandwich had some mustard on it.

The only big announcement from someone in orange this week

🚨Ed Martin said he planned to use criminal investigations into James and Schiff to “look at everything else they've been doing.” That’s not how it works. A criminal investigation is not an excuse to pry, harass and threaten people about non-criminal conduct. This is dangerous.

Barr didn’t see info that implicated Trump in the Epstein case bc SDNY U.S. Attorney Geoff Berman “never briefed Barr on the investigation.” Comer should call Berman to testify before Congress if he wants answers and not a pro-Trump narrative. (From Berman’s book) 👇

Bill Barr did not clear Trump in the Epstein case. He couldn’t - he wasn’t briefed on the investigation and there’s no way he reviewed the file. If Trump has nothing to hide, DOJ could clear him by releasing the Epstein file. Watch my full video on Talking Feds here:

When you think you’re Liam Neeson in Taken, but you’re Liam Neeson in the Naked Gun

🚨A judge called out the DOJ for not releasing the Epstein files. He said the DOJ could release 100K+ pages of interviews & warrants right now. No need for a judge to approve. You say you want transparency? Release. The. Epstein. Files.

Release the Trump classified docs Special Counsel report. How can “Chief law enforcement officer” Trump investigate Bolton for unauthorized possession of national defense info when Defendant Trump claimed the same law was unconstitutionally vague in his case?

Most transparent administration in history 🙄👇
