Maggie Habermann: The Epstein Controversy ‘Became Much Worse’ After the DoJ and FBI Released an ‘Unsigned Memo’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HABERMANN: “Yeah. So just to set the scene here a bit, Willie, what happens shortly before like two days, I think, or four days before that meeting is they pass his one big legislative accomplishment last year, which was the one big, beautiful bill.

A it was self-inflicted. B it became much worse after the DoJ and the FBI released this unsigned memo. It just had their insignias on it.

And this was essentially something that some of the hardest line voices in Trump’s government, who had spent years talking about Epstein and talking about Trump to be.”
