Daily Beast reports:
Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell sent a mystery USB drive to the Justice Department days after Melania Trump sought to distance herself from the pair’s heinous sex crimes.
The disgraced former socialite sent the USB on April 16 in a fresh attempt to quash her criminal conviction and 20-year jail sentence for helping Epstein recruit and abuse women and girls.
While the details of the electronic files are not known, the timing of it—seven days after the first lady delivered a surprise statement about Epstein and Maxwell—raised eyebrows across Washington.
Could it be… blackmail?
Meanwhile, things aren’t going so swimmingly overrun Capitol Hill:
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are reportedly split over whether convicted child sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell should be pardoned by President Donald Trump in exchange for her cooperation in the Epstein investigation.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told Politico on Wednesday that “a lot of people” believed it was worth pardoning Maxwell in exchange for her testimony on Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019.
“My committee’s split on that,” he said, before revealing that he was personally against such a deal as it “looks bad.”
To paraphrase Cicero, “No duh, Gomer.”
