Jen Psaki shames America's tycoons as their 'embarrassing' Trump groveling ages like milk

MS NOW's Jen Psaki kicked off Friday evening with a look back on all the rich and powerful people who sucked up to Trump when he got back in power — and how humiliating it looks now.

"Now, what was our new normal in this country?" said Psaki. "There was no going back. And American corporations and institutions all had to rush to get on board with his agenda. We watched big, powerful law firms rush to bend the knee to Trump, giving in to nearly every demand. We saw the same thing from major media organizations who settled bogus lawsuits, paid millions of dollars, and caved to his intimidation tactics."

Trump DOJ called out over bogus statement to Epstein judge: 'Todd, we know how to read'

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche tried to avoid swearing under oath about his redactions in the Epstein files case by slipping in a six-month-old letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) into government records overnight and then telling a judge that it was something it wasn't.

Senior U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan had ordered the Justice Department to respond by Thursday, after ruling in June that it was violating the Epstein files transparency law, which required an explanation for redactions. That explanation was never published in the Federal Register even though the law set a deadline of Dec. 19, 2025.
