Ghislaine Maxwell to tell ‘truth' about Epstein client list before Congress? Bombshell details emerge
Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to tell the 'truth' about Jeffrey Epstein's so-called client list before Congress, an insider told the Daily Mail. The source said Maxwell would be 'happy to sit before Congress and tell her story.' This undated trial evidence image obtained December 8, 2021, from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York shows British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and US financier Jeffrey Epstein (Photo by Handout / US District Court for the Southern District of New York / AFP)(AFP) 'Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,' the source said, according to the outlet. They added, 'No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.' No evidence of a client list This comes shortly after a review ordered by President Donald Trump-appointed leadership of the Justice Department and the FBI said they found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list" of associates. Previously, it was claimed that the financier blackmailed or conspired with the individuals mentioned in the list to victimize several women. The new information landed Attorney General Pam Bondi under, as she had previously vowed she would publicly release documents connected to the Epstein case. Meanwhile, the department also released purported footage as part of its review, which according to officials confirm that Epstein died by suicide. Epstein was found dead while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019. Maxwell was also involved in Epstein's crimes. She is now serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in December 2021. Maxwell was accused of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse minor girls. Investigative reporter Tara Palmeri previously said that Maxwell may be helping the FBI take down Epstein's collaborators, which could help her avoid serving the full 20-year sentence. 'I think she's probably helping them right now,' Palmeri told Joanna Coles on The Daily Beast Podcast. 'I don't think she's going to spend all 20 years in jail.' 'They can't let her out right now, there would be public outrage,' Palmeri added. 'But [when] nobody's paying attention, story's gone away, few years, Ghislaine's out, or ends up in some nice prison. This is what I've been told by law enforcement sources.'

Elmo account hacked: Sesame Street character's X page posts offensive messages; targets Trump over Epstein files
Sesame street character Elmo (Image: X/Elmo) The official X account of popular Sesame street character Elmo was hacked on Sunday resulting in a series of offensive and antisemitic messages that shocked many social media users. The account, which has over 640K followers, posted multiple hateful messages, including calls for violence against Jewish people. In some posts, it referred to President Donald Trump as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's 'puppet'. Another post demanded Trump to release the Epstein documents. The account also replied to several users with similar offensive language. All of these posts and replies were later deleted. In a statement to Fox News, a Sesame Workshop spokesperson confirmed the hack, saying: 'Elmo's X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts. We are working to restore full control of the account.' The incident drew widespread reaction from the netizens. Some users mocked the situation because of the shocking adult language coming from a children's character account. One user commented, 'I'm forever scarred by Elmo.' Representative Jared Moskowitz tweeted, "See what happens when you defund PBS". Sesame Street has faced increased scrutiny in recent months as some Republican lawmakers have pushed to cut federal funding for PBS. In May, Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending federal support for the public broadcaster. Last month, Republican lawmakers called to defund PBS after the television station's long-running children's show, "Sesame Street," celebrated LGBTQ "Pride" Month on social media.

Trump says he spoke to FBI's Bongino amid Epstein controversy: ‘He sounded terrific'
US President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed he spoke to Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino in an attempt to calm mounting tensions within his conservative base over how the Justice Department handled its investigation into the death of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Responding to reporters' questions on whether Bongino remained in his position after rumours of his possible resignation, Trump replied, as per Reuters: 'Oh I think so… I spoke to him today. Dan Bongino, very good guy. I've known him a long time. I've done his show many, many times. He sounded terrific, actually.' The president's reassurance follows reports that Bongino, a former conservative podcaster, had been at odds with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department's decision to close the Epstein investigation without releasing further files or identifying alleged associates. In a memo released last week, the FBI and the Department of Justice said their review had found no evidence supporting longstanding conspiracy theories about Epstein's 2019 death in federal custody, which had been officially ruled a suicide. The memo also stated there was no verified 'client list' implicating prominent individuals. The conclusions have stirred backlash from key figures in Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) base, who had anticipated more disclosures, especially after Bondi's earlier promises of 'a lot of names' and 'a lot of flight logs.' According to reports from Fox News and NBC News, Bongino reportedly had a heated exchange with Bondi and was considering resigning over the outcome of the Epstein review. Critics like Elon Musk and far-right commentator Laura Loomer have also voiced their frustration over what they perceive as a lack of transparency from Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. Both Bongino and Patel had previously made public comments questioning the government's handling of Epstein-related material before joining the bureau, including calls for releasing names tied to the late financier's alleged network.
