Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin revealed on Thursday that “everyone” believes a blockbuster exposé about the relationship between President Donald Trump and the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein is about to drop.
“One of the points of this platform, in the age of transparency, is to narrow the gap between elites like Dan [Turrentine], and Sean [Spicer], and the people like the 2WAY community and myself. So let me share something with you that “everyone,” I say that in air quotes, everyone I know knows hasn’t been publicly reported. Everyone I know believes a major newspaper, one of the top three newspapers in the country, is about to publish a piece about President Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Okay? Everyone I know knows that. And people in the White House know that, too. When that story drops, if it drops today, and some people think it might, it could drive the day,” began Halperin before asking Turrentine and Spicer if they had heard about the story.

The 2019 FBI raids on Epstein’s properties were overseen by Director Christopher Wray. Little St. James island raid led by SDNY U.S. Attorney’s office (no specific agents named); seized items included computers. No federal raid on Zorro Ranch reported—only state investigations.
Evidence handled by FBI response teams, stored securely under DOJ protocols. 2025 memo compiled by DOJ investigators, overseen by AG Bondi amid disclosure debates.
No roles for Comey (out since 2017) or Clinton.
Sources: Guardian, CBS, NPR, AP.
as in one of the most accurate reporters? Pretty funny joke.
My best man at my wedding, Jim, was a former coworker. We had known each other for years. We went out on his boat. Lots of double dates with his girlfriend and eventual wife.
The years go by and we grow apart. We no longer worked for the same company and our schedules never lined up.
Fast forward 10 years. I run into a different coworker from that job. I asked about Jim.
“Don’t you know?”
“Know what?”
“Jim is in prison.”
It seems he had a double life that I knew nothing about. He had a gambling problem. He embezzled. He was a tax fraud. He assaulted his wife. Terrible stuff.
It seems that it was common knowledge amongst my old coworkers that I was involved in all this. After all, he was my best man. Word was that I had ties to organized crime and just got away with it.
So forgive me if spurious ties and rumors about Trump and Epstein are met with derision by myself.
We’ll see....
So far all that’s been said is Trump evidently called the WSJ asking them to kill the story.
I'm sure veteran political journalist Mark Halperin revealed on Thursday that “everyone” believes a blockbuster expose about the relationship between President Donald Trump and the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein is about to drop. I'm also pretty confident that the same Halperin "everyones" just finished writing the expose.
This is all a misdirection from the Biden Autopen scandal.
I dont see anything on this yet but it would be an M.O of a blackmailer whether doing J Edgar hoover style for his own benefit for future use or Mossad style.,,,but of course Trump said Epstein didnt do any of that.
And here is where they get clever. The girl is not underage but LOOKS underage. There are criminal schemes where Johns get blackmailed by pimps on the spot even if not underage. look at the mess that CEO at the coldplay concert has right now. He was worth over 1 billion dollars. He is in for a world of pain.
It will be filled with a crap ton of qualifiers (could/may have, etc) and a slew of anonymous sources. Throw in a buzzword or two that they will all use and we will see a standard media release. FOS
"Wolff possesses "hours and hours and hours and hours and hours" of Epstein discussing Trump and his relationship with him, containing content many view as incredibly controversial considering recent developments with Epstein's case. The recordings were created in 2017, when Wolff met with Epstein in order to discuss details of the financier's life for his own biography. Epstein died by alleged suicide two years later.
Wolff later released an excerpt tape of the interview with Epstein which he described as a small part of "100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House and about his longstanding, deep relationship with Donald Trump".
Trump Biographer Claims Tapes of Epstein Talking About Trump Are 'Too Hot' to Release
yeah if this “bombshell” is a birthday card then don’t wake me up
This is the headline tonight of the apparent bombshell story just published in the Wall Street Journal: Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. I sent LBJ a Christmas Card at the age of 11; the WH sent me one back so I guess I could be accused of having conducted correspondence with the man who murdered JFK.
there would have to be some kind of Corroborating evidence to show that Epstein wasnt just making up BS.
Halperin was on point with his election coverage and took heat from all sides for it.
“The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.
The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
In an interview with the Journal on Tuesday evening, Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture. “This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” he said.
“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
He told the Journal he was preparing to file a lawsuit if it published an article. “I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” he said.”
Didn’t Halperin make a similar sort of prediction right before the election?
I am looking at everything related to Epstein and trying to view it from an objective basis.
This would have been before Donald because a serious political player. I could see someone doing this.
Even if he did draw it....no big deal.
I thought so:
Mark Halperin Says He’s Been Pitched Story That Could ‘End’ Trump’s Campaign

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin, who was among the first to report that President Biden would withdraw from the race in July, revealed on Tuesday that there is a “certain story” that has been pitched to major news outlets that — if true — could derail Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign in its final days.
Speaking on his “Morning Meeting” show on YouTube, Halperin shared that although he does not believe the story is accurate, its impact—if it were—would be the October Surprise the political media has been waiting for.
“I know of one story... I don’t believe it is true. But if it’s true, it would end Donald Trump’s campaign,” Halperin said, adding that he’s aware of various efforts to influence the race’s outcome with less than two weeks until Election Day.
