Mark Halperin Speculates That Ghislaine Maxwell Knows ‘Unseemly’ Things Trump Did With Jeffrey Epstein
Mark Halperin speculated that Ghislaine Maxwell knows “unseemly” things that President Donald Trump did with the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday’s edition of his show, Next Up with Mark Halperin.
After showing his guests, Emily Jashinsky and Rich Lowry, clips of Trump speaking in relatively positive terms about Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, Halperin asked them for their best theories “about why he’s given, over time, very positive answers, or neutral answers, about Maxwell?”
After Jashinsky took the first at-bat, Lowry posited that while there’s likely no “deep dark secret that Trump was engaged in abuse of minors with Epstein,” Trump may fear “more Wall Street Journal-level disclosures with that-, a letter or alleged birthday letter, where it’s just embarrassing because he was chummy with the guy for a long time.”
Halperin then offered his own, more salacious theory:
Yeah, so my guess is along the lines of yours, but it’s maybe a little bit further than what you said, more than just embarrassing joking, but that-. I’m amazed at how little we know about the contours of their relationship ,and more generally about how did Epstein interact with rich and powerful men? What were their activities? It’s alleged that there was a child sex trafficking ring. I find that very-, relatively little information about what that would entail. But the idea that there were parties, and that there were activities, both on the island, in his Manhattan home, etc., we just don’t know, at least I don’t know, what the contours of that were.
And I think the victims have made some accusations, but they’re not very detailed. And certainly none of them involve Donald Trump, except there are two on-the-record accounts that involve Trump and Epstein together that, you know, is it the worst thing Donald Trump’s ever been accused of? It’s not. But my suspicion is that there’s more of that, not necessarily illegal, but unseemly and unseemly with a monster, right? It’s unseemly with a monster.
