CBS News has reported on a potential discrepancy regarding the official account of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, highlighting flaws in the government’s explanation.

Ghislaine Maxwell offers to testify before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein if she is pardoned, and this immediately strikes me as incredibly cynical.

The offer feels entirely transactional, a desperate gambit to escape the consequences of her horrific crimes.
It’s also crucial to remember she had her chance to testify under oath during her own trial and refused. The fact that she’s now, after conviction, offering to speak under these specific conditions raises serious questions about the veracity of anything she might say.… Continue reading
