| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jim Acosta show. It's Friday, T-G-I-F. But it's another day that ends in why, as Trump is still trying to cover up Epstein Gate. He sent his former defense attorney, Todd Blanche, who is now a senior Justice Department official, if you can believe that, down to Florida to speak with Galane Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend, who is now serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Join me today to talk about this. |
| 0:22.4 | The great Katie Fang, who is jotting things down as we speak. |
| 0:27.7 | You know, we're going to get a whole legal brief here. |
| 0:31.4 | Katie, I mean, there's so many different places to start, but this one has really been sort of, you know, grinding my gears a little bit. |
| 0:38.5 | This notion that Todd Blanche is Trump's former defense attorney. He's, I mean, it's already an |
| 0:44.0 | outrage that he's a senior department of justice official. But he gets dispatched down to |

| 1:28.8 | will be officially formally made. I'm assuming it's already happened, although I do believe David, |
| 1:34.0 | if he says he hasn't spoken to anybody about the pardon yet, but I think the pitch will be |
| 1:37.9 | officially made post this meeting between Blanche and Maxwell. And listen, I will, I always agree with |
| 1:44.1 | what you say, but I'll make one small amendment to what you said. You said, Todd Blanche's Maxwell. And listen, I will, I always agree with what you say, but I'll make one |
