I road trip to New England a lot. With scads of family, there is a lot to draw me back. But the past few years have developed into a pattern – I seem to find myself in New England in April. https://t.co/PArKI1MRXv

DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN — PAM BONDI KNOWS!!!

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

The coverup is unraveling. An expert MS NOW correspondent exposes that the DOJ is actively withholding missing FBI transcripts from Epstein's victims. Survivors confirm they provided detailed allegations that the government refuses to release. The corruption is staggering.

BOMBSHELL: Epstein's accountant testified that the estate settled with Jane Doe 4 for BOTH Epstein and Trump. Her files were completely hidden until Trump bombed Iran to change the subject. The coverup is unraveling on live TV.
