With most Americans already questioning the Trump’s administration’s handling of the Epstein case and contents, now the FBI has come under fire for redacting President Donald Trump’s name, along with other notable public figures.
Redaction & Maxwell Move
Many are questioning how a deal could be so easily made with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Today, Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a minimum security prison in Texas as she expands on an already very sweet deal with the federal government. The original deal allowed her to avoid the worst types of prisons despite her charges over her involvement in the sex trafficking ring she managed for Jeffrey Epstein. Now, it appears to be clear that she will receive some kind of a pardon or ceremonial dismissal of her charges via lax sentencing.
Add to this, the redaction of her name now raises further questions about the transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The victims and their families have also spoken out in major outlets. They’ve called the move of Maxwell a strong signal from the government that they will pardon the worst behavior of the well connected and rich.
According to sources familiar with the situation, the FBI’s actions were conducted under the Freedom of Information Act guidelines, justified by the argument that Trump, at the time of the investigation, was a private citizen entitled to certain privacy protections. Critics argue this could serve as a strategic sanitization of potentially damaging information prior to its release.
This report comes in the wake of public outcry and scrutiny over the Epstein case, emphasizing an ongoing debate about accountability and transparency within government investigations. Generally speaking, the public has responded emphatically the information on those files be made public to ensure the integrity of the investigative process. Virginia Giuffre’s family, for instance, has come out arguing in favor of full transparency.
Trump & Epstein Fallout
More details were also revealed about the fallout between Trump and Epstein. Neither version is particularly flattering. To hear the president say it, he first employed a teenage Virginia Guiffre, but then Epstein ‘stole’ her for sex work.
Michael Wolf is now reposting content around what the rift truly was around Epstein and Trump’s fallout. In 2003, Epstein bid for a mansion and had the highest bid at 34 million dollars in Florida. Trump sneakily went ahead and outbid his friend. Michael Wolf alleges that Trump in 2003 was used as a cutout by Russian billionaires to purchase a home in Florida.
Subsequently, the home was sold for 125 percent more than its original purchasing price, a classic money laundering and layering operation.
