I'm more shocked that she had an ethics adviser.
Not like he was doing much good.
In an unrelated note, I hear George Constanza is looking for something to do. The way the administration confuses fictional characters with real people this could work.

Disclosed from the past, Epstein was on tape bad mouthing his ex-friend Trump saying, , “He’s a horrible human being. He does nasty things to his best friends, best friends’ wives, anyone who he first tries to gain their trust and uses it to do bad things to them."
Interesting read about the Epstein tapes: https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU08/20250227/117951/HHRG-119-JU08-20250227-SD006-U6.pdf

That would be a plot twist. The worst human being in the world didn't want to be friends with Trump anymore because he thought he was a terrible person.
Jackie the Joke Man from the Howard Stern Show says Epstein said the same thing to him.
Here is Jackie telling the story. (Its long and rambling and the host sucks.)

20 states sue Trump administration over disaster prevention funding the hill
A coalition of 20 states on Wednesday sued the Trump administration over its decision to shut down a multibillion-dollar grant program aimed at strengthening infrastructure before natural disasters strike.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, contends that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) unlawfully eliminated its Building Resilient Infrastructures and Communities (BRIC) program earlier this year, stepping on Congress’s powers.
The states say the impact of the shutdown has been “devastating.”
“Communities across the country are being forced to delay, scale back, or cancel hundreds of mitigation projects depending on this funding,” the complaint reads.
“Projects that have been in development for years, and in which communities have invested millions of dollars for planning, permitting, and environmental review are now threatened,” it continues. “And in the meantime, Americans across the country face a higher risk of harm from natural disasters.”
...
“Not only are States unable to move forward with many of their planned projects, they also risk wasting the substantial time, effort, and money they have already invested in these projects, and undermining the trust they have built with local communities and industry partners, which will make it harder to undertake projects like this in the future,” the lawsuit reads.
Early in President Trump’s second term, he signaled a major overhaul at FEMA would be imminent, potentially resulting in its elimination. However, in the wake of deadly floods in Texas, his administration has changed its tune to one of reforming the agency as opposed to axing it altogether.
The lawsuit notes that Congress has not authorized the termination of the BRIC program or a substantial reduction in FEMA’s mitigation “functions and capabilities.”
“In fact, Congress has specifically barred it,” the complaint reads. “Therefore, the BRIC termination violates these statutes and the Separation of Powers.”

I doubt the female victims who are probably too afraid to speak up appreciate Trump referring to it as the "Epstein Hoax". Maybe some will be brave enough to speak out.Trump: "I call it the Epstein hoax."

Probably the reason why the files weren't released while Biden was president is because Democrats are in them, too.

Fire perfectly capable American FAA workers under the guide of Cost Cutting Measures and replace them with Foreign Nationals by promising a path to Citizenship while giving those Foreign Nationals access to our Radar Infrastructure and Military Flight Paths and Flight Plans
This is DOGE.
U.S. airspace security officials are “losing their minds” over proposals for the agency to hire foreign air traffic controllers to plug the shortage it is grappling with, according to a leaked report.
Staffing shortages at the Federal Aviation Administration, especially among ATC workers, have contributed to a flurry of flight delays and cancelations, and may have also contributed to a spate of deadly crashes, including one that claimed 67 lives at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January. A preliminary FAA report found that staffing levels were “not normal” in the control tower on that day.
In response, the FAA bumped up salaries, pushed bonuses, went on a recruitment drive, and tried to persuade older workers not to retire. Staffing levels remain lower than the target numbers, and so the agency has now floated the idea of turning to foreign workers, according to The Atlantic.
“The FAA is facing significant air traffic controller staffing shortages, and to address this issue, is exploring the idea of recruiting experienced international talent,” said a three-page executive summary of the initiative, obtained by the publication.
“However, this approach must be carefully managed to ensure that the FAA’s high standards for safety and procedures are upheld,” it adds, acknowledging a need to “balance the critical areas of safety, training, national security, and immigration law to create a sustainable and effective workforce strategy for the FAA.”
A U.S. official involved in the discussions told the publication that the FAA’s security experts are “losing their minds” over the prospect of foreign nationals having such access to sensitive information like “military flight paths, restricted airspace, and air-defense zones.” Successful candidates could also gain access to radars and communications networks.
If the plan comes to fruition, it might also rankle President Donald Trump’s hardcore America First base. The president campaigned on American industry making a comeback, propped up by American workers. He has spent much of his second term diminishing the number of foreign nationals on U.S. soil, so a decision to actively seek out immigrants to fill such crucial roles might look contradictory to his usual message.
In most cases, foreigners cannot actually work directly for the U.S. federal government. At the FAA, they aren’t eligible for security clearances. To get around this, the initiative proposes a “structured pathway for these international recruits that leads to FAA employment and eventual U.S. citizenship.”
To support this possible loophole, the memo drew on the example of “institutions that admit international students,” despite the Trump administration’s attempts to stymie this, too.
The proposal indicates that candidates would go through a rigorous four-and-a-half-year process of studying the job. Modules on weather, language training, “basic phraseology,” and evaluation would be included in the robust training program.
Nathaniel Sizemore, a Department of Transportation spokesperson, said the FAA is “exploring every available option” to plug the gaps at the agency.
He told The Atlantic that no decision has been made yet, but suggested that if foreign workers did move to the U.S. to man signal towers, it would in some way constitute payback against “foreign countries [that] routinely steal U.S. controllers, who are rightfully frustrated by outdated tools and crumbling infrastructure.”

Typical. Too little too late. Oopsie
He’s definitely in those files.WOW: Trump just had a complete and total MELTDOWN over the Epstein files, saying it’s “bullsh*t” and saying it is a Democrat created Hoax and he doesn’t want the support of anyone talking about.
