Former Donald Trump lawyer Todd Blanche’s interview with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was dismissed by a former FBI supervisor who admitted he was stunned at how poorly it appears to have been conducted.

Coming on the heels of the Department of Justice releasing audio and transcripts late Friday, where Maxwell downplayed Trump’s friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Rob D’Amico had nothing good to say about Blanche who is second in command at the DOJ.

A former state attorney predicted that not only will Ghislaine Maxwell be pardoned by President Donald Trump, but said exactly when such a pardon would take place.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking charges related to Jeffrey Epstein, who was also facing sex-trafficking charges until his death in 2019. Epstein was alleged to have operated a blackmail operation targeting powerful figures, and Maxwell to have been Epstein’s accomplice.

GOP strategist Kristin Davison stunned a CNN panel Saturday after blurting out a bizarre and debunked claim regarding merchandise carried at the retail store franchise Target.

The discussion on CNN’s “Table for Five” Saturday centered around Target’s latest quarterly earnings report, which showed the franchise taking a 42% nosedive in share value. The retailer’s poor performance comes in the wake of the 2023 conservative backlash against the chain for its initiatives on diversity, equity and inclusion, which the company started rolling back in response earlier this year.

A Democratic lawmaker who is leading the charge to force the Department of Justice to release the entire files they have on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein appeared on MSNBC on Saturday morning where he revealed that what was released on Friday was a lot less than it appeared.

Speaking with “The Weekend” co-hosts, Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) , who has teamed up with Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) to put the House leadership on the spot with a demand for a vote on the document release, dropped an update on what has been turned over so far.

Cory Ruth, a CEO and former GOP consultant whose worked on Republican presidential campaigns, was shut down Saturday during an appearance on CNN after pushing false claims about Black wealth in the United States.

“Right now, we as African Americans put a lot of attention on what we're not getting,” Ruth said, who also leads the Atlanta-based consulting firm Mergence Global as its CEO. “...Right now, Black male income is equal to white male income when you account for region, industry and experience. They make two cents more per dollar.”

During a segment on the transcripts the Department of Justice released of Todd Blanche's interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and partner of Jeffrey Epstein, MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart had his producers put up a screenshot of a remark the high-ranking DOJ official made that drew his scrutiny.

“There's something unusual that happened during this meeting, just one unusual, not just one. But it's unusual for when this thing happened and it's at the very beginning of their meeting,” Capehart noted to his guest, former Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg.

When "Real Time" host Bill Maher cautions liberals and progressives against reacting to every offensive thing that President Donald Trump says and does, his point is that they should save their energy for Trump's most egregious actions. Maher had a lot to say about Trump during "Real Time's" Friday night, August 22 broadcast — warning that Trump's "slow-moving coup" may prevent Democrats from ever running the federal government again no matter how many supporters they have.

Maher told his guests, "If there was a slow-moving coup, let me just describe some of the steps — and you tell me if I'm being paranoid. First, create a masked police force. Get people used to looking at that. Normalize snatching people off the street. Get them used to looking at that. Normalize seeing the National Guard and the military on the street. Then, start talking about crime in the capital, which has always been a fairly crime-ridden city."

Hours after FBI Director gave the go-ahead to his agents to raid the home and office of John Bolton, Vice President J.D. Vance was well prepared and ready to discuss it with NBC’s Kristin Welker during an extensive interview to be released in full on Sunday.

During an interview on Saturday on MSNBC, one former official from Donald Trump’s first term questioned the extent of VP’s involvement in a matter that should be outside his purview.

President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to move past the Jeffrey Epstein scandal in releasing interview transcripts of Epstein-associate Ghislaine Maxwell will likely only fan the flames of the controversy, one journalist argued Saturday morning on CNN.

“If anything, they've sort of started another firestorm,” said Errol Louis, journalist and host of “The Big Deal with Errol Louis” on Spectrum News, speaking with CNN Saturday.

The release of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's interview with convicted Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell only proves what a dishonest and self-serving exercise all of this was for the Trump administration, former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" panel on Friday evening.

"You can't escape the obvious here," said anchor Michael Steele. "When all the documents, if they ever do come out, whatever, we'll get to what's in the house, what they receive today when all of this stuff starts to flesh out and Donald Trump's name is on every other frickin page at that point, [they] so poisoned the well with, with trivial crap like this. Where does that leave us? Where does this all go?"
