URGENT: Ghislaine Maxwell met privately with Todd Blanche — the man who used to be Trump’s personal defense attorney in New York. Trump appointed him Deputy Attorney General in March. Yes, you read that right: Trump made his own criminal defense lawyer the second-highest official at the DOJ. How that wasn’t front-page news everywhere is baffling. And now? Blanche, Trump’s own lawyer, is the only person allowed to meet with Maxwell. No FBI agents. No independent observers. Just Trump’s fixer, sitting alone with one of the most notorious figures in recent memory. They’ll spin this as a “DOJ interview,” but let’s be honest: this is the stuff of authoritarian regimes. We are watching corruption unfold in real time, on a scale this country has never seen.
