Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett Moves To Dismiss The Epstein Survivor Lawsuit (Part 1-2) (8/9/25)

Democratic strategist James Carville has issued a public apology and removed a YouTube video from his “Politics War Room” podcast that implied a connection between First Lady Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. The decision follows a legal letter from Melania’s attorney, prompting Carville to edit the episode, retract his remarks, and formally apologize on a recent broadcast. The first lady responded by sharing a screenshot of the pulled video and the apology transcript on X. This action aligns with another recent retraction by the Daily Beast, which took down a piece citing Michael Wolff's claims about Melania’s introduction to Donald Trump via Epstein’s circle—claims she disputes in her 2024 memoir, saying she met him at a Fashion Week party in 1998.Next up...Vice President J.D. Vance reportedly hosted a private strategy meeting initially planned at his residence but later moved to the White House, bringing together key Trump administration figures—including Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles—to coordinate the response to the Epstein investigation. Among the topics under discussion were whether to release audio or transcripts of Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and how to shape the administration’s public messaging amid mounting scrutiny. Although both Trump and Vance publicly dismissed the reports as “fake news,” sources confirmed the meeting took place at the White House to avoid media attention.next up...Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee have vigorously urged transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, pushing to subpoena the Department of Justice for the full, unredacted case files (with victim identities redacted), and seeking testimony from high‑profile figures, including Ghislaine Maxwell and the Clintons.   Alongside this, leading Democratic lawmakers such as Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi have called for Epstein survivors to be invited to testify before Congress—an appeal reinforced by survivor advocates like Alicia Arden and attorney Gloria Allred, who demand full disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:James Carville apologizes and pulls video suggesting a Melania Trump ‘Epstein connection’Epstein files: Oversight Democrats call for hearing with victimsTop Trump officials discussed Epstein at White House meeting Wednesday night | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In her formal response to the government’s motion, Ghislaine Maxwell opposed the unsealing of grand jury transcripts in her criminal case, arguing that such a release would violate long-standing principles of grand jury secrecy and unfairly prejudice her rights. Her legal team emphasized that the transcripts in question contain sensitive testimony and confidential material that should remain protected under Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Maxwell’s attorneys insisted that the government's request lacked compelling justification and that releasing the materials would serve no legitimate public interest while potentially influencing public perception and undermining her right to a fair trial.Furthermore, Maxwell’s response accused the government of attempting to circumvent established legal norms for tactical purposes. Her defense argued that any disclosure could taint potential jurors and further inflame the already intense media scrutiny surrounding her case. They maintained that the government had not demonstrated any exceptional circumstances to override the presumption of secrecy traditionally afforded to grand jury proceedings. In closing, Maxwell’s team urged the court to deny the motion and preserve the confidentiality of the grand jury materials to uphold judicial integrity and due process.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.539612.803.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In her deposition in the defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Johanna Sjoberg described being recruited to work for Jeffrey Epstein under the impression that it was a legitimate job opportunity. According to her testimony, she was initially hired to help with office work but was soon asked to give massages to Epstein—something she testified quickly evolved into inappropriate and unwanted conduct. Sjoberg stated that Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in managing the household and was often present during these encounters, contributing to the atmosphere of control and pressure. Her deposition supported claims made by Giuffre and other women who alleged they were misled into situations where they were exploited.Sjoberg also testified about interactions with well-known individuals while in Epstein’s company, including an allegation involving Prince Andrew, which she said took place at Epstein’s residence. She described an incident in which Maxwell, Epstein, and others were present during a moment she considered inappropriate and unsettling. While the full extent of those interactions remains the subject of legal scrutiny and public interest, Sjoberg’s deposition contributed to the broader pattern of allegations suggesting a tightly controlled environment where young women were manipulated under false pretenses. Her account was one of several that added weight to the claims being investigated in both civil and criminal proceedings surrounding Epstein and Maxwell.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Judge John Judge of Idaho firmly rejected Bryan Kohberger’s latest legal maneuver to challenge the death penalty, dismissing his claim that Idaho's execution methods—specifically the firing squad—are unconstitutional. Kohberger’s defense argued that the state’s reintroduction of the firing squad as a backup method for executions constituted cruel and unusual punishment, thus violating the Eighth Amendment. However, Judge Judge ruled that since the firing squad hasn’t actually been used in Idaho yet, and lethal injection remains the primary method, the argument was premature and speculative. He emphasized that Kohberger's execution method isn’t an active issue at this stage of the proceedings.The ruling marks another significant setback for Kohberger's legal team, which has made several unsuccessful attempts to derail the state’s pursuit of the death penalty. Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder in the brutal November 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. Prosecutors have made clear their intent to seek capital punishment, citing the heinous and calculated nature of the crime.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders trial judge's damning one-word response to Bryan Kohberger's bid to dodge the firing squad | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Following the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, suspect Bryan Kohberger's phone records revealed a series of unsettling activities. Investigators discovered that Kohberger, a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University, conducted online searches related to serial killer Ted Bundy and viewed pornography depicting nonconsensual acts, using keywords such as "forced," "passed out," "drugged," and "sleeping" . Additionally, surveillance footage showed a white Hyundai Elantra, matching Kohberger's vehicle, circling the victims' residence multiple times on the night of the murders . Cellphone tower data further indicated that Kohberger's phone connected near the victims' house 23 times in the four months leading up to the murders, often during nighttime hours .These findings, combined with DNA evidence linking Kohberger to the crime scene, have strengthened the prosecution's case against him. Despite this, Kohberger has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence, claiming he was out driving alone on the night of the murders . His trial is scheduled to begin on August 11, 2025, in Ada County, Idaho . If convicted, he could face the death penalty.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Explosive detail buried in Idaho murder suspect's phone records reveals who he called after the killings | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​On April 24, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler issued a ruling on the admissibility of key evidence in the trial of Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. The judge determined that the majority of the 911 call made by one of the surviving roommates could be presented to the jury, as it falls under exceptions to the hearsay rule, such as present sense impression and excited utterance. However, certain portions of the call, including statements made by an unidentified woman relaying secondhand information, were deemed inadmissible due to lack of firsthand knowledge and contemporaneity. Additionally, the judge allowed the use of a transcript of the 911 call as a demonstrative aid during the trial, provided it is properly authenticated and accompanied by appropriate jury instructions. ​Regarding text messages exchanged between the two surviving roommates, D.M. and B.F., the court found that many of these messages are admissible under the same hearsay exceptions. These texts, sent in the early hours of November 13, 2022, include descriptions of a masked intruder and expressions of fear and confusion, which the court considered to be spontaneous reactions to a startling event. The judge emphasized that the admissibility of these messages is contingent upon the prosecution establishing the necessary foundation at trial. The defense had objected to the inclusion of these messages, arguing that they lacked context and could be misleading; however, the court concluded that, when properly contextualized, they are relevant and admissible.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho judge deals more defeats to Bryan Kohberger’s defense | Idaho StatesmanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
