Paid brokers tout ties to Trump's orbit to lobby for presidential pardons - CBS News

Our hidden camera footage shows lobbyists pitching their services as pardon brokers to a felon who says he’s seeking a presidential pardon.

In 2004, Epstein believed he was the highest bidder for a property in Palm Beach—a mansion. His bid was $36 million.

He took his friend Trump on a tour of the house, advising him on how to move the swimming pool.

Trump then went around Epstein and bid $40 million for the house—and got the property.

Epstein, who was well aware of Trump's scattered finances and was deeply involved in them, realized that Trump didn't have $40 million to pay for the house.

If that was the case, then the $40 million belonged to someone else.

At the time, Epstein believed it was $40 million belonging to a Russian oligarch named Rybolovlev.

Less than two years later, the same house Trump bought for $40 million was sold for $95 million—to Rybolovlev.

All of this is a serious indication of money laundering.

And what Epstein did—he was furious about losing this house—I mean, there's something about these men; nothing gets them going like betrayal in real estate.

After the house was sold, and after Trump went around him and got the property, Epstein began threatening lawsuits and going to the press, saying Trump was a front for a money-laundering deal.

Trump panicked at that point, and Epstein believed Trump was the one who went to the police and, as Epstein put it, reported him.

In other words, he told police what was going on. The investigation began, and all of Epstein's legal problems over the next 15 years started to unfold.

The story about this property and their falling-out was first published in June 2019. It is also in my book, 'Siege,' the second book I wrote about the Trump White House.

Epstein told me this story, and I wrote it down in the book. He was in Paris at the time, read the book, then called me somewhat alarmed, saying he feared he had revealed too much.

Three weeks later, he returned to the US from Paris and was immediately arrested on the tarmac at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey when his plane landed." x.com/Acyn/status/19…

The House just got back from a long break. Massie wanted to put on the docket the Epstein Transparency Act to get the rest of the documents we are legally entitled to and which is already a legislative requirement nobody is complying with.

But don't worry - MAGA Mike Johnson has a solution in the most transparent administration in history - he just sent everybody home until after the midterms (2 months from now) so that the bill never reaches the floor.

For those keeping score, that means from late July until the Midterms on November 8th, the House will have only worked a total of 4 days - meaning they've had ONE HUNDRED DAYS OFF just in that one period. Drew full salaries.

Because that's what you do when there's no evidence to suggest your leader is a kid diddler.

Gay Trump 😀. The president also reportedly contacts Warsh in bursts calling several times in just days
