As Melania Trump's dark past is surfacing, pay attention to what is happening. In a federal lawsuit involving Michael Wolff and Melania Trump, where Wolff sued Melania Trump, alleging that her threats against him constitute a violation of New York's anti-SLAPP statute, the case got assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, a very pro-Trump judge, And there hasn't been any activity on the docket since February when Michael Wolff called out Melania Trump for trying to allegedly evade service. And where Michael Wolff alleges that Melania Trump is pretending to be from Florida so she can get the federal case transferred to a Florida federal court. When he put forth a lot of evidence to suggest that she lives in New York, the federal judge has gone silent. Very unusual for no activity on the docket since February 27th. What else is happening as Melania's dark past is surfacing? Ghislaine Maxwell sent a mysterious USB hard drive to the Justice Department days after Melania Trump sought to distance herself from the pair's heinous sex crimes. And to be clear, the pair is Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Melania Trump said that she has nothing to do with them. And all of the emails and the text messages and the photos are fake and fabrications, right? Melania held that press conference. Well, now a mysterious USB hard drive was sent by Ghislaine Maxwell to the Department of Justice, and the Department of Justice disclosed it to the federal judge but said, Judge, there's nothing to see here. It's likely just duplicative of other things that have been filed in this case. So don't even worry about it. We're not even really going to pay attention to it. What else is happening as Melania Trump's dark past is surfacing? Well, we've learned that MAGA Mike Johnson and James Comber and other MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives at Donald Trump's direction. They are trying to shut down all further hearings about anything to do with Epstein, anything to do with Ghislaine, and try to shut down other House hearings as well. What they're trying to do now until the midterms is hold roundtables instead of hearings so that subpoena powers can't be used, under oath depositions can't be taken, and there can be just round tables, which is fascinating because whose deposition is likely going to happen soon? Remember, it's the witness who Melania Trump fears the most, Amanda Ungaro. About three weeks ago, you probably didn't even know the name Amanda Ungaro, but she was in a relationship with Paolo Zampoli, the guy who introduced Melania to Donald Trump, allegedly at the Kit Kat club in the late 1990s. Zampoli ran a modeling agency where he would bring in young Eastern European girls and women for his modeling agency. And he would throw parties at the Kit Kat club with the girls and the ladies who were the models from Europe. And he would introduce them, the models to wealthy Manhattan businessmen. He would play matchmaker between wealthy businessmen and the models. He introduced Melania to Donald Trump at one such party, and then he helped expedite Melania Trump's visa. He got her an Epstein visa, which is for being a genius and being in the top of your field, which is odd because she, in my opinion, wasn't any of those things. But his girlfriend was Amanda Ngaro. She met him, she says, when she was only 15 years old. She was brought here by one of Epstein's traffickers, Jean-Luc Brunel. Brunel died allegedly by suicide in a French prison under similar curious and unusual circumstances as Epstein, but that's how she was trafficked here or brought here by Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein guy And then she later met Paulo Zampoli Zampoli was he in the Epstein files and he brags about being he like you cool if you in the Epstein files or something Words to that effect Only smart people are like, famous people are in the Epstein file, something very strange. And he was thinking about starting a modeling agency with Epstein. But she was with this Paulo Zampoli guy for like two decades. And Zampoli, because he introduced Melania to Donald, when Trump won the first term He was invited to all the White House events, and now he's basically been made a United States ambassador. And so she had a fallout with him recently over a child custody issue over their son. It was reported that he helped get her, get Angaro deported to Brazil. He denies that he contacted ICE to expedite the process. The New York Times wrote a story that he called ICE. he disputes that the call led to any expediting of her being deported, but she's in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil now. And she's like, you took my son. I have nothing to lose. So I'm going to expose everything. I'm going to expose you. I'm going to expose Melania. I'm going to bring everybody down. Words to that effect, of course. Paulo Zampoli has been freaking out. He's been making posts like this. Notice to all media outlets, my son and I are victims of an extortion attempt. by a John Doe family. This was reported on April 6th to the FBI and Miami-Dade police. We have an ongoing investigation. All disinformation and defamatory statements about me and my son will be, he says he's going to hold people accountable. Then he does a second notice three days ago. Second notice to all media outlets. We confirm that legal actions are currently underway across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, Italy, and Brazil. Our legal team is actively identifying and pursuing all individuals, entities, and accounts involved in the dissemination of false, misleading, and defamatory content. Any media outlet or individual that publishes, supports, or amplifies such content will be included in a class action lawsuit and held accountable to the fullest extent of law. Just to also give you a sense of what Paolo Zampoli's done in the past 24 hours, he's been appointed by Donald Trump to ban the Iranian football team, or if you're in the U.S., soccer team from playing in the world cup. Now Iran qualified for the world cup. Italy did not qualify for the world cup. And now Donald Trump wants to ban the Iranian soccer team as punishment for Trump's unlawful invasion of Iran. So a top envoy, Paolo Zampoli is now trying to work with Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, the really corrupt guy who's always with Donald Trump and like Gabe Trump, the FIFA gold cup in order to replace Iran with Italy and to bring Italy in the world cup. And Infantino is Swiss and Italian, and he wants to bring the Italian team in. That's what he's doing right now. There's a lot going on, of course. All right, listen up. It's spring cleaning season. And before you tell yourself your kitchen is fine, go take a hard look at that pan you've been using since college. You know the one. Warped, burnt, smells like regret. Yeah, it's time. Spring cleaning isn't just about closets. It's about getting rid of cookware that's actually working against you. If your pan makes cooking harder, that's not you. That's bad cookware. That's why I am obsessed with hex clad. Seriously, these pans completely changed how I cook. They've got that perfect, perfect combo. Stainless steel performance with nonstick convenience. Usually you have to pick one or the other, but not here. What surprised me most, the sear. You actually get that perfect crust, great heat control, and then cleanup is ridiculously easy. No soaking, no scrubbing forever, and they're tough. Metal utensil safe, dishwasher safe, oven safe, up to 900 degrees. You don't have to baby these things. Plus, the handles stay cool, which honestly is a game changer. With over a million customers and 50,000 five-star reviews, yeah, the secret's out. There's a reason Gordon Ramsay uses Hexclad at home and in his restaurants, and every product comes with a lifetime warranty, this is it. The last set of pans you will ever need.

I strongly advise you to consider the seriousness of these matters. Any actions taken against me or attempts to escalate the situation could have significant legal consequences. I expect to be handled with the appropriate level of responsibility and professionalism moving forward. And then she gave an interview with Courier, which was translated from Portuguese into English, where she said the first time I had contact with some poly was when I was 15 years old. I can state that starting from the first meetings on poly began harassing me in an attempt to pursue an intimate relationship. That's her allegations, not some poly. That's what She says, when and under what circumstance did you meet Melania? I was introduced to Melania by Paolo Zampoli at the time. We were already dating, and that is when I was introduced to her. Would you testify before the House Oversight Committee? Absolutely. Did Melania personally threaten you? If so, in what way and when? Melania felt threatened, and while she did not threaten me directly, she knows that I witnessed highly compromising interactions over the course of 20 years. She does not know the full extent of what I know for I lived with Paulo for 20 years. She does not know the full extent of what I know and she did not threaten me directly, but she knows I witnessed highly compromising interactions over the past 20 years. So now you piece this together. The Trump loving federal judge in New York has basically frozen the docket. You have Congress freezing the hearings and saying informal roundtables, no more subpoenas. You have a mysterious hard drive being sent by Ghislaine Maxwell. At the same time, Melania said she has no contact with Ghislaine and they never really knew each other. Sure, they were in the same circles, but any of the photos are fake. Everything's fake, according to Melania. And then you have the fact that Republicans in the House of Representatives, though, at the same time, Ghislaine Maxwell, by the way, we know Ghislaine Maxwell, the email from Ghislaine calling Melania sweet pea and them wanting to hang out and Melania saying to Ghislaine, you are great or you look great in the New York Magazine article and Jeffrey Epstein was great. They seem to know each other, at least at some level of familiarity, in my opinion, based on those emails. Ghislaine knows a lot. Angaro knows a lot. Zampoli knows a lot. And remember, Zampoli said that he would testify before a congressional hearing. I think he was pressured, in my opinion, to do that by Melania because there were rumors that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump and Melania said that never happened. Those rumors are false and defamatory. It was Zampoli who made the introduction. Well, Zampoli and Epstein wanted to buy modeling agencies together and Zampoli, okay, Zampoli introduced you. I'm not really sure that that really makes that much of a difference, but she's like, it's Zampoli. And Zampoli's like, I'm happy to testify. But then now Congress is like, no more testimony from anybody at all. We're canceling hearings. We're doing roundtables. And then we learned that Congress, Republicans in Congress are trying to pardon Ghislaine. James Comer told Politico that there are lots of Republicans who would like to see her pardoned because they think that'll help her testify truthfully, even though she's a known liar, a perjurer, an age sex trafficker. But we should pardon her. And he said there are Republicans working with Donald Trump to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. So Democratic Congress member Raja Krishnamoorthy sent this letter to Todd Blanche after Ghislaine's lawyer has been bragging that he believes Ghislaine's going to get a pardon. Are you piecing all of these things together, starting with Melania's dark past surfacing? So take all of this information and assess it collectively. Here the letter from Raja Krishnamoorthy Democratic Congress member He goes I writing to express my disgust at the DOJ reported willingness to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell Last week David Oscar Marcus Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney said, there's a good chance and for good reason that Maxwell would get a pardon. It's unacceptable that the DOJ would be engaging at all with such an outrageous request. Then he talks about how Ghislaine was moved from the minimum secure, from a maximum security facility in Tallahassee to club fed in Camp Ryan, Texas. And then he goes on to talk about how the Epstein files have been covered up by the Trump regime. Then it goes on to say the following, following the dismissal of attorney general Bondi in connection with the department's handling of the Epstein files. You're the acting attorney general. You must immediately reopen the and fully resource the department's investigation into the sex trafficking operation. You must also publicly and repeatedly refuse to engage with Ghislaine Maxwell on any presidential pardons that would excuse her from serving out her full sentence. Survivors deserve answers and those responsible must be held accountable. This is not a question of politics. It is a matter of justice. And so you know who's taunting Melania though now a lot about all this stuff? The Iranians. The Iranians are taunting Melania a lot. They did a new Lego video roasting Melania yesterday. Did you see this one? Play this clip. None of them were playing. She said she never knew this man the way the tabloids say. She is here at the podium to clear it all away. And then they did one on her called Epstein Queen, which I shared with you about two weeks ago. Play this clip. Epstein Queen, Epstein Queen, kissing on the lips, living that scene. She says never friends with a straight face, lie, but the fouls got trumped by the balls. Now, finally, with all of this happening, the American people hate Melania. She's the most hated first lady by far. Usually first ladies aren't even hated. Like they usually, even if their husbands are hated as presidents, first ladies, they're not like hated. Melania is hated. And I think this really gets to her because I think deep down she thinks that she's like this, what is she? Visionary. I'm a vision. I'm a visionary. And if you have visionary like me, I won't do the accent. Anyway, did I play the Epstein Queen video? Play the polling on Melania. Let's play it. And you also, I'm saying you have new numbers or another look at the impact or the appeal that she, her appeal after her documentary came out? Yeah, okay. So you asked in question number one, you said, why? What is one of the reasons why? And I think one of the reasons why was this documentary. I think a lot of people saw it as political, even if she didn't want it to be. And you could just see it here. This is real world data. This is not just the polling data that shows the lack of appeal, historic lack of appeal that she has for a first lady. Look at the sum of Melania's budget. Look at this. The budget rights and marketing. Seventy five million dollars. That was what is estimated to have been spent by Amazon. Compare that to the box office, both domestic and international combined. We're talking about 17 million. That makes this a bomb. There was a lot of talk when the film came out. Hey, you know, it had a good opening weekend. But then basically it stopped making money. So unless Amazon is able to make this up through streaming, this is going to be a historic bomb. Amazon spent a ton of money on it. And look at that. Simply put, the money was not made back. That coalesces, that combines with the polling data to say that Melania Trump is historically unpopular for a first lady.
