Judge denies Justice Department request to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts
Mr President, I know that it's been an extremely busy week between this executive order, trade, Russia, Gaza, but also the family of Virginia Giuffre released *** statement overnight in response to some of the comments that you made this week. You said that Jeffrey Epstein stole people from Mar *** Lago at the time. Did you know why he was taking those young women, including Virginia? No, I didn't know. I mean, I would, I would figure it was ABC fake news that would ask that question, one of the worst. Uh, but, uh, no, I don't know really why, uh, but I said if he's taken anybody from Mar *** Lago, he's hiring or whatever he's doing. I didn't like it and we threw him out. We said we don't want him, you know, at the place. This is *** story that's been known for many years, as you know, uh, but it's, uh, I didn't like it that he was doing that. Yeah, please.
