TOMORROW: A judge sees what DOJ withheld: FBI interview notes from a woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her at 13-15. DOJ said nothing new here, but reporting says otherwise. Expect the judge to order their release—and DOJ to appeal to run the clock past the midterms.
Missing audio: Trump ballroom…Trump Kennedy Center…Trump arch…Bad news? Blame Biden.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoLMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

A thief, a john, and an animal abuser walk into a bar. Woman #1: Those are dealbreakers. Woman #2: You all should be in jail. Kash Patel: Have you ever considered applying to the FBI?
‘I would cheat, but the Secret Service won’t let me move the ball’ is quite the defense. They’re his protective detail, not Shooter McGavin forcing him to play it as it lies.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "I was playing golf and we had hundreds of Secret Service all over the course. In fact, they said, 'Does Trump cheat?' I can't cheat. You have 250 Secret Service agents running down. It's not that I wouldn't cheat, but you can't move the ball."
This Trump official’s scandal has it all: strip clubs, drinking, an affair. What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas when taxpayers foot the bill. Only the best people? Trump hired better people on Celebrity Apprentice. In November, tell Trump’s picks: You’re Fired.
Former Federal Prosecutor Todd Blanche? Accurate. 😆

Trump pardoned crypto felons and his family’s crypto bank is backed by the UAE’s national security advisor. Todd Blanche gutted crypto enforcement and disbanded DOJ’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement team. Spare us the tough-on-crypto crime press conference. It’s a farce.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago🤡 Jeanine Pirro puts on her clown suit 🤡 Pirro just held a presser to warn Americans about cryptocurrency fraud - never mind that her boss is one of the world's foremost crypto scammers - then had a series of performative meltdowns as reporters tried to ask her about the reflecting pool Supercut:
Hochul and Mamdani called out Trump for cutting $87M in NY counterterrorism funding. Trump said he was proud to restore it. He hasn’t. Instead of doing damage control on Fox, the AG should tell his boss to put his money where his mouth is. You support law enforcement? Fund them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTodd Blanche on Fox makes partisan attacks on Hochul and Mamdani, laying bare that he is nothing more than a political hack
Jeanine Pirro could lose her job AND her law license. Her run as D.C. U.S. Attorney has been one long blooper reel. She’s Mark Sanchez on replay: every big case ends with a Butt Fumble. Here are the Worst of the Worst. ⬇️
“Are you okay?” Those were Alex Pretti’s last words before ICE agents beat him, shot him 10 times, and killed him. The Trump administration’s response? Demonize the victim. Deny wrongdoing. Derail the state investigation. No. We are not okay.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo."I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents
Campaigning in New York—but bailing on D.C. court in the Epstein files case. Because, priorities.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche is speaking at a Trump rally to endorse Bruce Blakeman
Trump’s DOJ messed with the wrong judge over the Epstein files. Judge Emmet Sullivan put prosecutors on notice: defy my orders, violate the law, conceal files—and face contempt. The mic drop: “That’s not a threat. That’s a promise.”
DOJ producing handwritten interview notes for certain victims (like Jane who said Trump never abused her) but not others (like the victim who accused Trump of abusing her) supports the argument that DOJ intentionally withheld materials damaging to Trump.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · last mo.DOJ lawyer Andrew Block, who was just added to the Phang Epstein case *yesterday*, erred when he told the court there were no handwritten notes released.
DOJ’s statement isn’t true. FBI 302 reports and corresponding handwritten notes were produced in the Epstein files. Below is one example. So why did DOJ produce handwritten notes for certain 302s and not others - like the victim who made accusations against Trump?
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · last mo.JUDGE: Have any other hand written notes been published? DOJ: I don't think so. Not with regard to the 302s. JUDGE: So what's the answer? DOJ: They're duplicative documents. JUDGE: How can the court know that? 6/
How it started: “Do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” - DOJ’s mantra How it’s going: ⬇️
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Todd Blanche: "Everything that I do will not be the right path or the right decision"
Today as DOJ fights in court to keep Epstein files from the public, remember it’s also keeping them from state prosecutors. The files contain serious allegations of crimes in New Mexico by people other than Epstein and Maxwell, yet DOJ won’t identify them. These allegations demand investigation.
Senator Cassidy: You’re a doctor so I’ll put this in terms you can understand. Blanche’s DOJ is sick. It’s crawling with more parasites than Taco Bell lettuce. But instead of treating the infection, you’re letting it spread. The rule of law is on life support. You just refused care.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoCassidy: "I will vote for Mr Blanche. I will be criticized for this vote. What's new?"
Blanche’s Top 5 DOJ highlights: -Botched the Epstein files. -Created Jan. 6 fund. -Granted Trump IRS immunity. -Charged Seashells “threat,” Sandwich “assault” and Reflecting pool “vandalism.” -Fired career public servants. And Republicans confirmed him.

Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 2mo agoNEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)
BREAKING: New Mexico’s Attorney General Raúl Torrez has sued DOJ for access to the Epstein files. This is the lawsuit I’ve been waiting for. In my view, New Mexico’s Attorney General has the strongest case to force DOJ to turn over the Epstein files. ⬇️
Kristy Greenberg@kristygreenberg.bsky.social · 2mo agoBREAKING: In 2019, SDNY prosecutors persuaded New Mexico’s AG to shut down his Epstein investigation by promising to share evidence of state crimes. Two weeks ago, SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton broke that promise. Today, he was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence.
A conservative policy adviser and a former Trump White House press secretary accused Max Miller of domestic abuse. A Republican Senator called him “a danger to my daughter.” For how long will Congressional Republicans dismiss fellow Republicans to protect one of their own?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoRAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too
Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
Trump on Platner: “Can you imagine if the Republicans had him?” “There's never been a guy like that that's run for office.” Trump on Max Miller: “He’s a good person…it’s accusations.” The double standard is glaring.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoTrump on Platner: "Can you imagine if the Republicans had him? What if we had him? If it meant losing the Senate, you would not let that happen. There's never been a guy like that that's run for office."
