On today’s episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down a whirlwind of explosive developments as Ghislaine Maxwell invokes the Fifth Amendment and refuses to answer a single question during her House Oversight Committee deposition, while dangling an offer to “clear” Donald Trump’s name in exchange for a commuted sentence. Lawmakers reviewing the Epstein files report that newly revealed redactions appear to shield damaging information about Trump, as the Department of Justice moves to drop the criminal case against Trump ally Steve Bannon during his appeal, even as Bannon is exposed as one of Epstein’s closest confidants in Epstein’s final years. We also cover mounting calls for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after records contradict his claims about cutting ties with Epstein, revealing later meetings, travel to Epstein’s island, and business dealings. Plus, Trump’s economic numbers and polling continue to slide, with independents and non-college-educated voters drifting away, major updates as Russia escalates its assault on Ukraine amid Trump’s efforts to destabilize Europe and undermine Ukraine’s defense, and Trump’s latest culture-war meltdowns targeting Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and U.S. Olympians. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down.
