Maxwell knows ‘where the bodies are buried’.

With the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring back on the news, his imprisoned former accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell became what lawyer Alan Dershowitz called the ‘Rosetta stone’, the key to a previously undecipherable mystery.

So, today (24), a top DOJ official travelled to the Florida capital, Tallahassee, for a groundbreaking interview with the disgraced British socialite.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche had a five-hour conversation with Maxwell, according to her attorney, who added that she answered every question in ‘a very productive day’.

The Washington Post reported:

“The meeting in downtown Tallahassee, not far from the low-security federal prison where Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, comes as the Trump administration is trying to mitigate the political fallout over its handling of the case.

Attorney David Oscar Markus declined to tell reporters afterward what Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche asked Maxwell or how she answered. ‘He took a full day and asked a lot of questions,” Markus said. ‘She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability’.”

Blanche reportedly said the meeting with Maxwell was meant to discuss anyone else ‘who has committed crimes against victims’.

“Maxwell has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her appeal of her conviction. The Justice Department, which prosecuted her, has pushed back, submitting a filing last week urging the justices to reject her request and leave her conviction intact.”

Associated Press reported:

“’Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability’, attorney David Oscar Markus told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Tallahassee, where Maxwell met with Blanche.”

Maxwell’s attorney Markus was ‘thankful’ and called it a ‘good day’.

“Asked if his client could potentially receive a pardon or see her prison term reduced, Markus said: ‘There’s no promises yet. So, she’s just answering questions for now’.”

UPDATE: Todd Blanche posts about his meeting with Maxwell, says the interview will continue tomorrow.

Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.

Lara Trump, the fiery daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump and a powerhouse in her own right, has announced she will not pursue a run for the U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina currently occupied by the spineless RINO Thom Tillis.

Last month, Tillis announced that he would not seek re-election after knifing President Trump in the back by voting against the “Big, Beautiful Bill” last night.

“As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven’t exactly been excited about running for another term,” Tillis said in a statement.

“That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigating the political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life, Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home. It’s not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election.”

With Tillis out of the way, attention now turns to which Republican will replace the disgraceful RINO. And names are already starting to emerge.

Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News reported that two names have already emerged as possible candidates for the seat: GOP Rep. Pat Harrigan and RNC Chair Michael Whatley, a key Trump ally.

Leigh Ann Caldwell of Puck News confirmed Sherman’s reporting on Harrigan and Whatley, then added four more: Rep. Richard Hudson, Former Rep. Patrick McHenry, Lara Trump, and Rep. Addison McDowell. That’s a total of six.

However, in a heartfelt X post, Lara Trump announced that she will not run for the U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina being vacated by establishment RINO Thom Tillis:

“After much consideration and heartfelt discussions with my family, friends, and supporters, I have decided not to pursue the United States Senate seat in North Carolina at this time.

I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and support I have received from the people of my home state whom I love so much.

While I am not running in this election, my passion for Making America Great Again burns brightly, and I look forward to the future, wherever that leads.”

The Boston Celtic punk rock band Dropkick Murphys have quit the Punk in the Park festival tour of several U.S. cities after it was revealed the owner of the promotion company Brew Ha Ha had donated less than $1000 to President Donald Trump.

After last weekend’s stop in Denver, the festival has two shows remaining this year: Worcester, MA on September 27 and October 4 and 5 in San Pedro, California. Leftists have started a petition to cancel the Punk in the Park festival.

The controversy first flared up last weekend when two lower tier bands pulled out of the Punk in the Park festival in Denver, citing the Trump donations by Brew Ha Ha owner Cameron Collins.

Excerpt from KMGH-TV report on the Denver show controversy:

Punk in the Park, a three-day punk rock festival held at the National Western Stockyards, kicked off with controversy overshadowing the packed lineup of 40-plus bands.

…Two bands, Destiny Bond and Time Heist, announced their withdrawal from the festival after discovering Cameron Collins, owner of Brew HaHa Productions — the production company behind Punk in the Park — had donated to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign along with other right-wing political groups, according to FEC reports.

Their sudden exit sparked heated debates among punk fans, aligning with the genre’s anti-establishment roots.

Brandon Alan Lewis, owner of Punkerton Records, first uncovered Collins’ political contributions and felt compelled to inform others.

“I felt like people at least had the right to know,” said Lewis, explaining how this revelation conflicts with punk’s fundamental ideals. “I just felt like it was the antithesis of what we represent in punk rock.”

The Dropkick Murphys played the Denver stop, but announced their decision to quit the tour on stage. The group posted a statement on Tuesday on Instagram, “Hey folks . Punk Rock and Donald Trump just don’t belong together. So Upon finding out that Brew Ha Ha promotions donated to the Trump campaign we will not be playing any more Punk in the Park shows. We kept our commitment to the Denver show because we didn’t want to leave our supporters who bought tickets holding the bag. Thanks for your understanding on this matter.”

I have never posted anything political on our platforms and have no intention to in the future but this needs to be addressed. There have been a lot of assumptions and conclusions made as to who I am and what my values are.

Like many Americans, my political views don’t neatly fit into a single box or party affiliation. I believe in fairness, humanity, free expression, and fostering unity among people. That’s how I’ve tried to live my life and conduct my business.

We live in a two-party system, and unfortunately, you must choose based on a few important issues that resonate with you. For me, those issues were the promise to end wars and refrain from entering new international conflicts, lower taxes, and stopping government overreach.

At the time, it boiled down to those points for me. I must admit that I haven’t been pleased with a great many of the current President’s viewpoints, opinions, and policies thus far, particularly with the recent ICE atrocities and the backtracking on the Epstein files being released as well as all the posturing with our allies around the world.

I think we all probably have common ground on a lot of big issues like being anti-racism, anti-war, and the belief in human rights for EVERYONE, regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, or any other identity.

Additionally, I’d imagine we all oppose hate of any kind and passionately support this community of punk rock and its individuality that has welcomed so many misfits into the family over the years.

This community represents a wide range of views and backgrounds, and that diversity has always been part of its identity. We don’t have to see eye to eye on everything to come together and enjoy what unites us, great music, good times, and mutual respect.

It’s important to note that the festival has not and will not donate any of its proceeds to any political party. However, we do make significant donations to various charitable causes, such as Punk Rock Saves Lives and Big Brother Big Sister.

We proudly employ hundreds of people directly and indirectly at our festivals from all walks of life, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Over the years, I’ve been proud to provide a platform for artists to connect with hundreds of thousands of fans. We’ve invested millions of dollars in artist guarantees, and I’ve never censored or restricted a band’s message or voice. Our track record speaks for itself.

Kristin Cabot has resigned from her position as Chief People Officer at the tech firm Astronomer a week after she was seen in viral videos reacting with shock and shame after being caught engaging in a warm embrace with the company’s CEO Andy Byron on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium near Boston July 16, reported TMZ and Page Six on Thursday.

Page Six quoted an Astronomer spokesperson, “I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,”

Byron resigned over the weekend after the company announced it was launching an investigation and placed him and Cabot on leave.

Byron’s wife reportedly dropped her married name from her Facebook page the morning after the concert when the Kiss Cam videos went viral, before deleting her account.

Cabot’s husband was reportedly on a lengthy business trip in Asia when the incident occurred.

Coldplay singer Chris Martin was commenting as the camera panned the concert crowd when the couple was seen snuggling but then got stunned looks on their faces when they saw themselves on the stadium video. Each of the couple reacted as if they were caught, with Cabot turning around with her face buried in her hands and Byron quickly ducking out of view. Cabot then was seen walking away.

Martin observed as the impromptu melodrama played out on screen, “Oh, look at these two. Alright, come on, you’re okay. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The New York Post reported earlier Thursday on Kristin Cabot’s husband learning about the Kiss Cam incident (excerpt):

Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot was on an overseas business trip when his wife, Kristin Cabot, was caught canoodling at a Coldplay concert — and the couple’s relatives were likewise blindsided by the scandal, a source close to the situation told The Post.

The tipster said Andrew Cabot, founder of the Massachusetts-based, high-end liquor maker, had been on a work-related trip to Japan and returned to find himself and his family in the middle of a social media firestorm.

[Andrew] was in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down,” said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss the situation. “Poor guy.”

…Kristin and Andrew Cabot married sometime after her previous divorce was finalized in 2022. The source said there had been little indication of any trouble in paradise before the Coldplay concert video went viral.

A report by reporter and gossip columnist Rob Shuter says Andy Byron is considering suing Coldplay (excerpt):

The clip blew up online — and blew up Byron’s life. He resigned within 48 hours, and Cabot was placed on leave. Now, insiders tell #ShuterScoop that Byron is exploring legal action against the band and event organizers, citing “emotional distress” and “invasion of privacy.”

“He didn’t consent to being filmed or publicly humiliated,” a source close to Byron insists. “He thinks Coldplay made him a meme.”

Klain was reportedly talking a lot in the deposition.

“Nobody seems surprised he didn’t go plead-the-Fifth route, given that he’s been prone to speak unprompted,” a former Klain colleague said, according to The New York Post.

GOP Rep. Andy Biggs said to reporters: “In my opinion, he’s not trying to avoid answering the questions.”

“I found Mr. Klain to be very credible, he answered every single question, he was fully cooperative,” Democrat Ro Khanna said to reporters.
