Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.
