Ghislaine Maxwell Moves to Block Trump DOJ’s Request to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts





Ghislaine Maxwell Moves to Block Trump DOJ’s Request to Unseal Grand Jury Transcripts
Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense team is opposing efforts to unseal grand jury transcripts from her trial, arguing it could jeopardize her appeal to the Supreme Court.
“Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not,” Maxwell’s attorney wrote on Tuesday. “Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain.”

Trump's Only Tariff Strategy: Under His Thumb.
An array of trade crosscurrents continued Tuesday afternoon. There has been a push for last-minute deals, continued fuzziness on previously announced trade commitments, and an indication from President Trump that a deal to delay tariffs on goods from China is "close."










If you're having a rough day, take solace in the fact that you've never worn a stupid red hat, flown a flag with another man's name on it, or used a maxi pad as an ear warmer.

Ghislaine Maxwell quietly moved from Florida to Texas prison as lawyers seek Trump pardon: reports




...Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom, and abuse young girls. She was being held at a federal prison in Tallahassee. Now, she’s at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas


It is not a prison, it is a minimum security camp. Is she gonna run? And then they'll shoot her? She knows everything. Everything.
