"The screenshots were sealed in 2008 as part of Alexander Acosta's deal for Jeffrey Epstein and were released on July 1."

This is the same Alexander Acosta who was brought to Washington as Trump's Secretary of Labor. And then when more Epstein chatter started to trend in the news, bringing attention to Trump's close connections with Epstein, Acosta resigned.

Acosta appeared alongside Trump at the White House to make the announcement that he was stepping down. “I just want to let you know, this was him, not me, because I am with him,” Trump said. “He’s a tremendous talent. He’s a Hispanic man. He went to Harvard, a great student. And in so many ways I just hate what he is saying now, because we are going to miss him.”

Can you guess who controls/owns the new media ? republianmushroom Jul 2024 #6

If you had to go to the Times of India website to find a suitable article to quote, that's your answer right there. Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #8

Times of India often reports stuff that gets short shrift in the American media. RandomNumbers Jul 2024 #13

This is not the same case. This is a lawsuit, not a grand jury transcript. This was covered by the MSM in 2016. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #31
