Every time Trump hears Epstein’s name he freaks out. What’s going to happen if all the cable shows, especially those on Fox News, dump the name of Ghislaine Maxwell into the news cycle?

Donald Trump spent part of Friday visiting the site of the Guadalupe River flood in Texas and meeting with Governor Greg Abbott and families stricken by the disaster.
On the tarmac before he left Texas, Trump faced questions about whether he was going to rehire weather scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. who were by fired under his orders by Elon Musk’s DOGE. “I would think not,” Trump answered. “This was a thing that happens in seconds, nobody expected it. Very talented people there, and they didn’t see it. This is a once in a hundred years, they’ve never seen anything like this. You look at that water situation…that was really the Biden set up, that was not our set up.”
Coming up with the idea of blaming Biden for the “water situation” in Kerrville was Trump’s limit when it came to the tragic floods in Texas. There was something else on Trump’s mind: blaming someone else for Jeffrey Epstein.
Less than a day after Trump returned to his Bedminster golf club, he posted this on Truth Social:
What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB—SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024—That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump’s insane, disjointed, neuron-destroying blather proves that there is only one question in Trump’s mind right now: how much is going to end up coming out about his relationship with his close friend, child-rapist-in-chief Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a member of Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago, and some of their major partying went on in Palm Beach, where Epstein also had a home on the beach.
It seems to have occurred to almost no one that the most threatening source of material on Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has to be Ghislaine Maxwell, the so-called socialite and daughter of British media-mogul Robert Maxwell. She had a 25-year relationship with the convicted sex offender. Maxwell was said to have had a romantic relationship with Epstein for several years after they met in the early 1990s. Maxwell was described by Epstein’s household employees in a lawsuit deposition as “the lady of the house” and Epstein’s “main girlfriend,” who had the power to hire and fire Epstein’s employees. During the time she worked for Epstein, Maxwell was rumored to procure underage girls for him, whom he sexually abused.
Maxwell’s relationship with Epstein became an issue in his 2008 Florida trial and conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Maxwell and Epstein were not seen together in public between Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor for prosecution in 2008 and his death in 2019.
Interestingly, the circumstances of Epstein’s death had a Maxwell connection. Virginia Giuffre accused Maxwell and Epstein of trafficking her as a minor for sexual abuse by Epstein and his friends, including Britain’s Prince Andrew. Maxwell called Giuffre a liar, and Giuffre sued her for defamation in federal court in 2015. The lawsuit was settled in 2017. The details of the settlement were not made public, but it was said to be in Giuffre’s favor, with Maxwell paying her “millions.”
On July 2, 2019, in response to a lawsuit from the media, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ordered the release of documents and evidence from the defamation lawsuit filed in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre. By 2019, it was well known that Giuffre, when she was 17, had been trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and had sex with Prince Andrew. They had even appeared together in a photo that was heavily publicized, so anything touching Giuffre was hot news. Four days later, on July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy. He was jailed in the Manhattan Correctional Center pending arraignment and trial. On the 17th of July, Maxwell requested a hearing in federal court to appeal the ruling to release the Giuffre lawsuit records.
On August 9, 2019, the first batch of records from the Giuffre defamation lawsuit against Maxwell was released. The very next day, on August 10, 2019, Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.
On July 2, 2020, Maxwell was arrested in New Hampshire at the estate of Scott G. Borgerson, a former hedge fund owner and fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, who turned out to be her husband. Maxwell was charged with six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of minors, enticement of children for the purposes of sex, and perjury. In 2021, Maxwell was tried and convicted of five charges of transporting a minor for the purpose of sex and conspiracy. In June of 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years. She lost an appeal of her conviction in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and is serving her sentence in the Florida Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida.
Ghislaine Maxwell knows a lot. She was named in Giuffre’s lawsuit against Prince Andrew. She was named in multiple lawsuits against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein as having procured teenage girls for sex for Epstein and others. In one lawsuit, filed in 2019, Maxwell was charged by “Priscilla Doe” for recruiting her for sex with Epstein. Maxwell was described as giving the teenage girl “step by step” instructions for how to sexually service Epstein.
If there is one person on this earth who has inside information about Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Donald Trump and what they got up to together, it is Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein told journalist and biographer Michael Wolff that he and Trump “hunted women together” during the time of their 15-year friendship, and that the two men were each other’s closest friends. Maxwell was there for all of it.
Every time Trump hears Epstein’s name he freaks out. What’s going to happen if all the cable shows, especially those on Fox News, dump the name of Ghislaine Maxwell into the news cycle? Stay tuned for a dark wind blowing from Tallahassee.
