Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones accused President Donald Trump of a plot to silence Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he would meet with her before she testified before Congress.
Hours before the House Oversight Committee approved a motion to subpoena Maxwell, Blanche confirmed that he intended to meet with her at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead," Blanche said in a statement.
Jones, however, suggested that the deputy attorney general's meeting was meant to silence Maxwell.
"So I just wish to heaven, whatever's going on, and the advice Trump's getting, and the things they're doing, I mean, my Lord! Sending the Deputy AG to meet with Maxwell, as soon as the Democrats are trying to talk to her," Jones opined on his Tuesday program, "and trying to cut it off at the pass before she testifies to Congress."
"I mean, they got a name for that. Why not just point out she's a convicted human trafficker? You can't believe a damn thing she says, I mean, seriously, you can't ever."
Jones insisted that the Trump administration should "poison the well" by smearing Maxwell instead of meeting with her.
"And the media goes, oh, look, he's telling Trump to shut up," the host continued. "He's giving advice on how to cover up. No, that's not what I'm doing. Any idiot knows that. Why are they doing the exact thing you would do to destroy yourself?"
"Trump is smart, this is unprecedented!" he exclaimed. "The idiot people go, 'It'll make the Democrats release the list.' Trump can release it all, he's in charge, you morons!"
