Trump Vowed Epstein Truth—Now His Team Plots Damage Control Behind Closed Doors at JD’s 8/7/25

According to a CNN report, a group of top Trump administration officials were set to meet last night at Vice President JD Vance’s residence to discuss whether to publish details of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s meetings with Ghislaine Maxwell. Both Trump and Vance called the report fake news, but CNN says the meeting was to include Vance, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Todd Blanche. Trump is also saying, and expects us to believe, that he hasn’t been briefed on what Maxwell told Blanche during their two meetings and that he wasn’t aware of the decision to move Maxwell to a prison camp in Texas. We welcome former U.S. Pardon attorney Liz Oyer to The Mark Thompson Show. We’ll ask her about a potential Maxwell pardon and how that might play out.
