“I’m not so sure Donald Trump has fully thought this one through, Jake, because you showed at the beginning of the show his very recent social media post where he said, ‘Oh, I look forward to deposing Rupert Murdoch under oath. That should be fascinating.’
“Well, guess who else is going to have to testify under oath at a deposition? The plaintiff in this case, the person who’s suing, Donald John Trump. And the subject of that testimony, which again, will be under oath, will be his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. No holds barred.
“And by filing this lawsuit, he is walking himself right into that scenario. Discovery goes both ways. Plaintiff has to turn stuff over to the defendant and vice versa. So, I have some questions about the legal strategy here.” – CNN legal analyst Elie Honig.

WTF is going on with Trump and the Epstein file??
Presumably the FBI and DOJ have tons of interview material with Epstein's victims. But will they release that? Of course not. Instead...
I thought this might be the next step and an obvious out for DJT. Get the "right" testimony from Maxwell and suddenly she draws the get of out of jail card....
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will meet with convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell in the next several days, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday morning.
This is such a cluster, one of so many for this administration.

Gets a little more interesting. Congress wants to subpoena Maxwell. Except Johnson won't let it happen.
Congress will subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned sex trafficker who was a close associate of the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to testify amid a political firestorm over the Trump administration’s decision not to release its remaining Epstein files.
The Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett introduced a motion to compel Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year-sentence in a Florida prison for crimes related to the Epstein case, to testify before the House oversight committee.
The move appears to skirt an announcement early on Tuesday that officials from the Department of Justice are also planning to meet with Maxwell.
“We got to send a message to these dirt bags,” Burchett said in a statement posted on X, referring to the list of clients and other Epstein enablers that are assumed to be included in the remaining Epstein files, the details of which are not publicly known.
“We’ve just got to get to the bottom of this thing, folks. It’s four years and we don’t need to tolerate this stuff any more.”
Soon after Burchett’s announcement, Mike Johnson, the Republican House speaker said he is shutting down operation in the chamber early, sending lawmakers home even sooner ahead of a five-week summer recess.
They were scheduled to leave Washington for their districts on 24 July and be out through the month of August – but will now leave a day earlier.
The decision comes as Democrats and a handful of Republicans continue to press for files related to Epstein, sending regular legislative schedules into chaos.
“We’re not going to play political games with this,” Johnson said at a news conference.
