Elon Musk was right — there is a 'really big bomb' controlling Trump: ex-aide

An Ex-aide of Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that he believes there is a big secret compromising the president — but it isn’t the one Elon Musk claimed to have revealed.

Amid a brutal public row Thursday, Musk claimed it was “time to drop the really big bomb.”

“@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” he went on. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"

Trump and his associates immediately denied the allegation, and Musk later deleted the claim, made on X. But the president’s ex-spokesman, Anthony Scaramucci, believes there’s much more damaging information in his former boss's closet.

Scaramucci told The Daily Beast Podcast that he believes Russia’s President Vladimir Putin holds damning information about Trump.

“Did he go over the line with Jeff Epstein and do something super-malevolent and super-nefarious? I don’t believe that’s the case because I think that would have come out,” he told the podcast.

“But the flip side is, while I’m saying that to you, I believe there is kompromat on Donald Trump. I don’t know what it is. We all used to say, ‘OK, what is it? What is the hold that Vladimir Putin has on this guy?’

Scaramucci — whose term in office with Trump lasted just 10 days, said the sway Putin holds over him makes no sense otherwise.

“He’s in a trainwreck situation at home, and yet he owns the president of the United States,” he said. “How does he own the president of the United States? You tell me. He has to have something on him, OK, that we don’t understand.”

He added, “Something that would be too much for Trump, even Trump himself, to deal with.

“ … Trump doesn’t love authoritarians. He loves himself, OK? And he would not be kowtowing to Putin, sitting in the biggest economy with the biggest military.”

“He would be shoving Putin, but he doesn’t shove Putin because they got something on him.”
