In breaking news, a Federal Judge in NY has just effectively told the Trump Administration to "release the damn Epstein Files" while issuing a 38 page ruling that both aims to stop Trump's attempts to rehab Ghislaine Maxwell's heinous reputation; remind America that Trump is sitting on the "mother lode" of Epstein files not the federal courts, and reject his argument that there is anything in the...
